After, taking Arsan's great advice and hunting Roman armies to get their morale down to eighty five, I won a Cannae type victory against a huge Roman army. When the turn finished processing, two events fired,.
The first event was that I got the Bruttians as an ally. Two stacks of three strong peditatus units each appeared at Capua, where my main army was, each with a leader. Though a recruitable infantry unit showed up as a build possibility, there was no place to build it, perhaps because the Romans still held Croton.
The second event got the Samnites to join me. Beneventum became Carthaginian territory, and I received a stack of two large Samnite infantry units, and an excellent cavalry unit. The city of Beneventum had a Samnite militia unit. No leaders, two recruitable militia units.
The next turn, I finished off the pitiful remnants of the once huge Roman army, After the turn processed, my main army, which had been ordered to chase the Roman remnants, was in Capua. And an event fired where Capua joined me, with an army of four units, including hoplites, cavalry, and peditus.. And I had the city and the province.
and, on the following turn, the Lucanians revolted, giving me Paestum, a large Peditus unit, a militia unit, and two recruitable units. and a new Bruttian town called Hipontum appeared, in the area next to Croton. And the Lucanian province of Consentia appeared, between Croton and Metapontum.
And a massive revolt of natives broke out over all the roman held areas in Scicily, and the Romans lost some cities.
While I really like Cardinal Apes idea, some of those events, or something close to them, are already in the game.
I love this game!
