As you listen the Emperor explains that this senatorial province will be a peaceful one but its role in the Empire is important. He plans to have this new province provide the wheat needed for the Roman army and the timber needed for the Roman navy. The Consular armies will provide the protection for this province if the need arises, therefore he will not have your engineers building forts. However he will allow you to build walls and towers to protect the settlements of the province if you feel the need to protect yourself from the eastern and central native villages on Sardinia. He urges you to pacify them if at all possible. Since he anticipates Rome's enemies to be numerous, he knows you will be hard pressed to keep the army fed. He will not place high demands upon you for culture or prosperity but expects you to meet all demands by the army and navy. He will require high favor for you before he will consider any promotion. The emperor looks at you and says:
"Well my friend, will you accept this task for the glory of the Republic?"
Easy Non-military Map loaded as Construction Kit City Scenario.
First of all I just want to say that this was a really fun scenario to play. The only thing I found that should have been changed is that when you look at the map in the scenario editor you see that there are 2 invasion points and the enemy is set on Carthaginians. Now this is fine on a military scenario but then it says (in the editor and the story line) that there are no invasions scheduled.
Basically the point of this scenario is to (according to the story) grow wheat to feed the growing army of Rome. Caesar requests wheat very regularly and a little bit of timber too. This isn't a problem, there is plenty of farmland and you can get all the food you need by fishing on the many regular seashores. You also have the ability to grow fruits but when I tried this scenario I didn't see any need to.
You don't need to import much... frankly I didn't import anything but Marble... You can make a lot of money exporting Furniture. The natives are easy to romanize and they will trade with as always. I had lots of fun playing this one.
