Why is there Civil Disorder in Rome?

[LivingDog]

If you're a "builder" type, toward which you are clearly gravitating, rather than militaristic, trade is everything.

Yeah, I always planned on being a builder. But I see that after Egypt started man-handling me these last two Chieftain games that I need to consider being more the militarist.

The last game Egypt kept trying to take my cities, but I remained in DESPOT and fought it back every step of the way. In the end I was only slightly under their score to come in third place with India out stripping us by a factor of ... 10(?)! I think India lived in a Nirvana state where no other nation bothered her, and I had to deal with a very aggressive Egypt (again, all in Chieftain).

Anyway, after reversing the tide, and capturing 5 of her cities, each one had some sort of Trade going on.

The more I learn the more I see that this amazing little (only a "DOS") game is anything but!
