Insta annexation in Rome

[T'pek]

After quite having enough of the "conquer the entire empire, defeat all of it's armies and navies, only to be forced to send a messenger to beg for some few measly territories" kind of deal, I got wondering if it was possible to mod a faster way to annex nations into the game.

Apart from the added realism (just imagine Caesar marching into Gaul, conquering it all, only to have to beg the different tribes for territory and have them refuse), it would make the game a bit more fun than it already is (well, at least for me).

I know in EU3 one could modify all the religions and add an "annex = yes" line that would allow insta-annexation (and also territory grabbing without diplomacy at all), is there such a possibility in Rome?

Thanks for any help.

Not sure, however you could make an event that fires allmost instantly (4-20 days) that gives a controller of a province (what happens when you besiege it) ownership (fully owns it, like after a peace treaty). Also since the gallic tribes are 1 province minors (at the start anyway) you can annex them, and since they 20 civ or more less then you you can do so with no badboy. If one of them has grown to two provinces you can't though

I've been thinking of adding such events as Decisions. My plan was to make it by region, though, so once you control an entire region that an enemy owns, you gain access to a previously hidden Decision which you can click to add that whole region to your empire with significant BB and Stability hits.

I have seen the AI annex civilized countries with more than 1 province, without it being a defected region. For instance, somewhere between the Gaius Marius bookmark and the Gallic Wars bookmar, Pontus is at war with Rome and a 2 province-large Bithynia, wich is occupied by the former. Pontus ends up with 2 new provinces as soon as the game starts. I have never been able to pull it off though :S

yes, i have seen it too. In my last game, the seleucids signed a peace treaty with the asetolian league with these terms:
a. The aetolian league gave 2 provinces to the seleucids
b.The aetolian league had to pay tribute.

The funny thing is that those two provinces were the only provinces the aetolians had, so the aetolian league ceased to exist.

A way to maximise province gains after a "total" war is to write a series of events which temporarily lower the civ level of occupied provinces. This reduces their "importance", so the defeated nation is less resistant to giving them to the victor.

Personally, i use a slighty modified version of the "looter" events...(one of the first mods to be created for Rome, i didn't make them)
