He-who-divides-by-0 is right.  The only AI that sometimes takes it is Germany, and it's a shot in the dark anyway,
It's the most rebellious city in the game, and unless you control half the map already, you shouldn't bother with it.
Your capital would have to be close in order to get any income from it... and having a capital there is a bad idea, unless you only have 5 provinces.

I must say, i grow tired of cavalry archer battles. Looking forward to Spain, once we sack Rome

Amazons are protected by the high quality armor they wear. Armor defence 0.

Yes, this.
I'm pretty sure it's a bug.

[Dsarker]

It's useful for population boosts. Capture once, enslave, move your army out once you need more, enslave again.

[Stworca]

Brutii keep giving us gold, and They did not declare war on us..  Should it remain so, then i won't attack them. (they have the smallest army of all Roman families anyway)

Edit : Disregard the last information. Brutii, who have no garrisons in their Greek cities, declared war.

We shall kill the rock building heathens!

Spoiler: Romani Ite Domum (click to show/hide)

Roman Diplomat : Roman armies are endless, morale end equipment worthy of gods, discipline unmatched. How can you hope to defeat us?
By lowering your army troop count to zero, how else?
- Silly Roman.
You mean Bloody Roman.


Let us see, just how tough Roman shields really are. Have our scouts..
- It will take a lot of maneuvering, sir.
...turn slightly to the left, then start firing.


- Supreme Leader, i'm pretty sure They can keep up with us.
Roman Captain (all their generals were assassinated, remember?) : BY VULCAN! THEY KNOW SOME MANEUVERS!


I.. What..? It actually worked?
- It appears so, sir.
Very well, proceed with.. what is this.. they ROUT already!? (that's right, when their Velites - and one hastati group i think - died, Roman army turned around and fled..)


A very interesting strategy. "Die to enemy swords and arrows, until they get bored and surrender to our glorious Empire".


Roman Diplomat : They will be back, and your puny armies shall be crushed! Just like Numidia!


Masseur?
- Sir?
I am unsure how to respond to this. The whole sentence was a silly joke, but Numidia WAS destroyed..
- Perhaps, we should respond with a joke of our own, backed up by something lethal?
That's a great idea!
Hooded Armenian : *Knock knock*
Lucius Scipio : Who is it?
Hooded Armenian : Al
Lucius Scipio : Al who? *opens the doors*
Hooded Armenian : *stab* Al Coholic.


Looks like another battle is upon us.
- Will Romans run this time as well?
I bet.. *shuffle shuffle* two stones that they will.


You owe me two stones. (look at our trash army.)


How about this one..?


- At least they tried, sir.


Roman Diplomat : They retreated just to regroup at our stronghold! You shall not take another step forward!


Is that true?
- Well.. the Romans ARE approaching.


Roman Diplomat : That's right! Our mighty armies will crush you! Haha! Muahahaha! MUAHAHAHAH--- *cough* *cough* wheeeze


- Sir?
Well.. at least they fought this time... or at least i think They did. (that's right folks, no infantry battle breakdowns for you! I need something left for Spain!)


But who are these "Scipii", and when will we face the REAL Romans?

Spoiler: Operation Sled Dog (As in, Husky?) (click to show/hide)

Brutii Diplomat : We, the Brutii, declare war on your barbaric nation! Your arm--
Welcome, you're just in time, honored guest.
Brutii Diplomat : In time for what, barbarian?


Brutii Diplomat : MONKEY ON A STICK!
Actually, it's a raccoon...
- The city is ours, sir.
Quite an establishment it is. The armories are filled to brim. (we can recruit our entire roster here.. AND it has large stone walls)


Brutii Diplomat : Celebrate while you still can! These pathetic settlements are nothing compared to Roman Cities! No Arme--
Oh, we know this. This is why we launched Operation Sled Dog.
- What's a sled dog, sir?
I don't even know what a sled is.


Brutii Diplomat : Messana shall never fall to the likes of yo--
You were saying? Sorry, i was thinking about sand.


Hey, isn't that Rainbow?
- It is, Sir.
But didn't he die a few years ago? He was sixty from what i remember..
: Woof.
Oh, is that true?
: All you need to do, is take four blood baths a week, and your skin folds will all go away! (Rainbow actually adopted a son, that had the same name and portrait as him.. Just slightly turned to the left.)
Slagathor : Oh? I must try it immediately!

Brutii Diplomat : You may have taken Messana, but Syracuse will NEVER fail!



Brutii Diplomat : You may have taken Syracuse, but Lilyb---
Scipii Diplomat : No! Fuck you! Croton is the city they should siege!
Could you excuse us for a second? We're trying to have a fight with Thrace.


Now, while our main force sieges Getae, the small scouting force will..
- Sir, Thracians attack!
Good ,have our army fend them off.
- Sir.. They attack the scouts..
But.. We only have a few skirmishers and trash infantry there..
(Stworca : That's right, and so the battle tactics will not be shown! Infantry only : Reserved for Spain!... It's because i forgot to TAKE more than a few screenshots...  )


Thracian General : Your doom approache--- BLAEEERGH.


I've never thought that infantry can be capable of winning a battle!
- Me neither sir.
But.. let's never tell Parthans about this, they would laugh and poke us with sticks.


Thracian ruler : What just happened?
You lost an army and a city, why?
Thracian ruler : No.. i mean.. did we just..?
Hush, you weren't too bad yourself *wink nudge*


Uh.. this is getting ugly, they were screaming at each other for some time now..
Brutii Diplomat : Rome always loved you more, Scipii abominations!
Scipii Diplomat : Just because we were sledding together, doesn't mean a thing! You're just jealous!
Brutii Diplomat : JELAOUS!? You unwashed barbarian!
Thracians : Hey! This term is protected by a copyright, and by law only we can be adressed this way.
Julii : What's going on there? Should we come back from Spain and help you guys?
Spain : You could at least use some LUBE, you troggs!
Why do i even keep hearing these voices?
- What voices, sir?
Nevermind.. Strike Croton.


..and just because we're an equal opportunity enemies, strike a random Roman army.
- Sir, yes sir.


Brutii Diplomat : But.. it also belongs to us..
*sigh* I've TRIED, okay? I really did.


..Bloody Romans..

[EmperorNuthulu]

Hmm, I've noticed you have a lack of cataphracts in your armies (not cataphract archers). Any reason for this?

[Stworca]

I have only one elite cavalry stable.. somewhere..
If i was having bad perspectives, then i probably would have build a few fully-planned armies, but as it is i just randomly assemble troops. I could be training peasants from now on, and Rome would still get massacred. It doesn't matter at this point. I could take Rome in 2 turns, and probably will.

We have one cataphract unit in.. Sidon i think.. The one Armenia got at turn 1.

Edit : Also, CArchers are simply too close to the regular ones when it comes to melee. There is hardly a point in making the Cataphracts, unless you're to face elite full stacks of urbans.

[EmperorNuthulu]

Ah, makes sense. Since you know, the Romans don't understand how to get a marian reform apparently.

[Stworca]

This is why i'm going for the kill. I gave them tons of turns to build that damn Imperial Palace. ALL their "shoe" cities have 24000+ pop for a dozen turns now, and STILL no reform. The AI wants me to roflstomp it into oblivion.

[Taricus]

Cheat built the palace.

[Stworca]

Cheat built the palace.

What's the code anyway?

I tried using "Process_cq" on Roman cities, but they've built everything EXCEPT the palace.

[Taricus]

process_cq "Settlement name", the quotation marks stay where they are.

EDIT: Try upgrade_effect

[Stworca]

process_cq "Settlement name", the quotation marks stay where they are.

Nope, you don't need quotation marks. The problem is, Romans don't put the palace in quene.

Create_building doesn't work in 1.5.
The cheat-trigger for reform doesn't work for 1.5 either.
