Province family ownership

[SpaceBallzz]

Hown does this work?

I'm playing as Cornelia and I used Scipio to conquer all of Africa but when I look at the family ownership map it says papiria are the dominant family there.

If a civil war starts with papiria does that mean all of Africa turns against me?

It's something that's confused me for a long time as well. In my most recent campaign which is largely abanndoned as I got bored, I had something like 88% of the senate with my family and every other family with 0 gravitas and a single family member. They still owned 70% of the map despite having no influence and barely token military capabilities.

Basically the regions and provinces a party owns are based on their influence. The more influence a party has, the more regions and provinces it will own. The game tends to try and give parties whole provinces if possible, and keep party's lands close together.

Influence is affected by various things, including the actions of you generals. So in your case while Scipio taking those lands won't directly give his part those lands, it will probably increase his gravitas, and thus his party's influence, which means his party will control more regions/provinces.

For more information, I highly recommend this guide, which I've found very useful.

Ok thanks for that.

Cornelius Scipio has almost 800 gravitas but he's almost 70 years old now and although I have lots of other Cornelia family members they're mostly useless politicians I keep for diplomatic missions or generals that have sat in a town for years because I don't have the resources to back them up for an invasion.

When Scipio dies the Cornelia are going to be in trouble. The papiria have 50% of the senate but they are not hostile towards me, the junia are more hostile and most likely to seceed but they only have 1 general and only 1 province in Spain (tarraconensis).

I'm busy with the Seleucid empire and the arverni now but once that calms down I'll try provoking the junia secession. I assume that would increase the Cornelia influence in the senate.

So in that case if the junia seceed will it only be tarraconensis that I lose to them? I don't want 10 armies outside Rome.
