That's super cool, but isn't this thread for AI stuff? Very nice restored Rome regardless.
Holy ****, for the first time ever playing RFCDOC I think I've had a partial collapse. It was a pretty interesting one, too.
Here's the lore:
After pushing deep into Egypt and North Africa, the Italian 6th Army found itself at a dead-end at the siege of Marrakech, where with Spanish support the Moroccan guerillas in endless mountains prevented their advance.
The consuls in Rome were unable to secure funding for the 6th Army despite a surplus that year, and shocked, the Italian state was halted dead in its tracks. Throughout the Mediterranean empire, discontent suddenly shot up as the unstoppable Italian forces seemed now stoppable.
The Levante Italiano was the first to go, with Baathist guards seizing control of Baghdad and Damascus, creating the Arab Republics of Iraq and Syria respectively. In Jerusalem, Zionists and Palestinians put down their disputes to eject the Italian occupiers. Next was the Balkans, with Turkish rebels, having been amassing stockpiles for years, capturing the Italian governor and publicly executing him. The Serbs had no such affair, with Belgrade quietly being taken over and the Italians removed.
In North Africa, the city councils simply voted to suspend Italian rule, and the Italian garrisons, unwilling to be executed by the natives, agreed. Negotiations continue regarding their presence.
The real horror came in the next months. Venice, long a hotbed of separatist politics and right-wing rule, came under the rule of the Social National Party, which voted unanimously to declare independence. The Austrian government, backed by Russia and Germany, moved into occupy the ancient Italian city. In Naples, years of economic inequality with the North and Centre saw Sicilian separatists vote to leave the Republic also. Finally in Rome, religious extremists, bolstered by the Pope, who now condemned the 'decaying' and 'degenerate' Italian Republic, seized the Eternal City, putting an end to 700 years of Italian rule, and installed a Theocratic Dictatorship.
Not all was lost, though.
In Egypt, the 3rd Army, which had long been preparing for a campaign into Ethiopia, was still well-supplied, and secessionists were quickly put down. Greece, long since colonised and Italianised, was one of the few loyal constituent Republics, and much of the government relocated to Athens following the coup, making declarations of reclamation. Finally, the 6th and 5th Armies, still present in occupied Morocco, remained standing and loyal to the Republic. The Italian Republic, which once stretched from Barcelona to Baghdad, now holds only a few remnant shadows of territory. Nonetheless, they are optimistic that just as they threw off Byzantine rule in the 13th century, they can return to Italian statehood oncemore.

There is one for that but it's in the gameplay guides sections and it's quite far down the list

Manila is a great city location and it's RIGHT THERE. It's worth considering for basically any civ east of Persia.

Can't believe I didn't notice it until you pointed it out!What is up with that ship in the Black Sea?
Oh do other people not get that? For some reason, some ships in my game randomly are massive.What is up with that ship in the Black Sea?
I don't even notice it any more, it's so common. I get a lot of graphical issues in civ 4, idk why lol.
Yep, I also get enemy units turn pink sometimes lol

It just baffles me that it's somehow getting close to reality.
Good point!I recommend using high, there is no reason for low graphics settings in 2020 anymore.
After the Romans and before the Spanish, Holy Rome and France there was a European Tamil empire... Also the Catholic split from Orthodox was an usual one, I began the game as Persia and on a whim decided to swap over to Byzantine empire, apparently Catholicism spread over in Anatolia while Romans in Italy remained Orthodox.
