The year 195 BC. I am the Scippii. I control 32 territories. I have not however finished off the last Numidian city. Suddenly, I am imformed that the Brutii have won! They have only 16 territories. They control the Britons (as a protectorate) and they have 12 territories. So how can I have lost? The Greeks and Macedonians were gone. Do you have to satisfy the small campaign conditions first as well in the imperial campaign?
Needless to say, losing ticked me off! I was given the option of continuing but if I don't get to see the victory video once I get Rome and 50 territories, I would take the fun out of it. Any ideas here?

No, I thought that might be it but my victory conditions in the faction screen was the conquer Rome and 50 provinces bit not the conquer Carthage and Numidia before the other families beat their enemies. I wonder if it is a bug or a condition for the imperial campaign that I didn't know about?

It wasn't the short campaign. I just wonder considering the slow pace the "other" families take when they are AI if it is rare that in the big campaign that they beat you to the victory conditions in the short campaign (when you are playing the big campaign). The only reason I didn't take Numidia out quicker is that I didn't think I needed to. I wonder if I should continue with the game and see if I can "win" when I get to 50 and Rome or not? Hmmm.....

Stupid question, but who has Rome?

Yes, the Senate has Rome. Has anyone out there ever lost the short campaign and continued playing? Is that possible? Does it turn into the imperial campaign? I think I will continue on with the game and see what happens.
