This is the reply I was going to give until I saw you beat me to itQuote from: "Aldaris"Nitpick: Diplomacy WAS the Roman way. The main reason Rome expanded so much was due to its absolute mastery of devide and conquer, providing support to border trives and sharing their conquests or mop up whatever ended up taking them down. Interesting to see such an early conquest and so many precursors, though.
While this is true for the "real" Rome, I don´t think it is for Steve´s
In this alternate reality, Rome conquered the whole of earth in a century or so, there simply was no need for diplomacy (who needs diplomacy, when you are attacking spear toting tribsemen with jet fighters and main battle tanks?)
Therfore I think it appropriate for the romans to be much less diplomatic and a lot more conquest oriented.
