I am playing as a British nation, now English and have united England and become a monarchy and have decimated Rome (Money wise). I have cheesed like 10 wars with them and they were last i checked almost 25k in debt but they are still expanding, i'm afraid that by the migration period there wont be any barbarians to contest them. It is 286 and i can beat them with my navy, that's the reason i can beat them. Do i just need to be patient? or what are my options? I don't want to watch the Romans conquer the world. Parthia it looks like is almost into china now as well. I thought early game you couldn't blob easily with that mechanic, or does it only work with players?
