No no don't support the Seleucids, rather use this as an excuse to go on a rampage and reclaiming Asia from those eastern weaklings! Asia belongs to the true heirs of Alexandros empire: The Makedones!
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
BTW it would seem it will be some Machemoi reforms in EB II:
Units won't be recruited from barracks in EBII anyway (the majority won't anyways - some units, such as elephants or certain mercenaries, will need a specific building to help house them), and so this is not an issue.
Also, a machmoi reform will be available. However, it will be player-led. The player will need to choose how their land is divided up. Giving out smaller plots will mean the machimoi will only be light troops. By increasing the size of the plots of land that can be owned by farmers, the machimoi will be able to equip and train themselves in a heavier fashion. This will lead to small numbers of machimoi being available for recruitment, however. It will be on a province by province basis, and dependent on how the player wishes to play the game.

Man, gotta say the EB map looks nice in purple. And wow, 12 AD...that's 1136 turns. Kudos for the commitment. -M

Cool "Purple" empire!! Did you play all the battles yourself? If so then you deserve more than a baloon..
Of course not!!! I played the battles myself at the beginning of the game, you know..... when your faction only had 2 nomadic town at the coast of Caspia.... facing the great empire of Seleukiea.....no chance of winning If I auto-resolve the battle....
But after the empire growing steadily, more battles were auto-resolved. You know....avoiding CTD issues....
Yeah, if so he deserves a life. Just kidding Intifadanyz. -MIf so then you deserve more than a baloon..

I tried to take some screenshots from one of my games (not from this thread, my empire has just begun), but whether I PrntScrn or Ctrl+PrntScrn, it never sends the pic to my clipboard. I wonder if it's a Windows 7 thing...
Anti-Aliasing off - PrntScrn - back to desktop - open paint - ctrl + v

Many thanks to Hooahguy for this great sig.

G'day all
Just curious on what difficulty level that purple world was achieved? And apart from the final 'move stack' to take that last settlement were any cheats used?
Not much of an empire, more of a confederation:
Hey, it's a work in progress. Who are you allied with and at war with? -M

That one is very cool. Seems like all the major players are still around.

Getai, obviously. I've never seen a Getai AI go for Dalminion and Segestika. It's more likely that the Sab'yn have no text because he forgot about them! ;)
This space intentionally left blank.
Human players would probably be smart enough (no offence) to go for the riches of Hellas. Or at least finish off the Makedones. The campaign probably progressed a while already because Ptollies got ridiculously strong, that takes some time. You probably can't remain at peace with the Makedones and KH for that long.
Saka Rauka plays slow because the lack of cash. Sab'yn player would have Axum, also if you are Saba here you have probably lost.
Who could forget about Saba?

I didn't even think that my map will encourage discussion what faction I'm playing. I completely forgot to write where Saba is...
Yeah I'm Getai. Playing a slow and roleplaying game. Just recently unified the lands you see in my map and the year is 227BC I believe. At war with KH, who declared war on me just recently (about 2 turns before the pic was taken), allied with Sweboz, Carthage (because was fighting Rome) and Pontus.
My faction leader is defending southern border and ambushing greeks, while my best general (6 command stars +1 when attacking) is ravaging northern Italy.
Overall this campaign surprised me by faction expansion (look at Pontus, continuing Gallic wars, there was even Rome vs Carthage war in Iberia, which now ceased). The only faction destroyed is Epeiros, but I was partly responsible for that. The diplomacy is very nice too. I was constatly involved in Makedonia/KH/Epeiros struggle, alied with one of them all the time, but changing diplomatic stances depending on situation. Macedon used to be the most powerful of the three, then Epeiros and now it's KH. Romans started asking for peace once I was ravaging northern Italy too, really strange as I still shared a border with them, but crushed two major armies.
Very pleasant game so far. Once my general returns from Italy I'm going to burn Greece abit :D

"Against those who have incurred the wrath of God" - Genseric, King of the Vandals, ca455CE, replying to his helmsman whither he should steer. His fleets now yearly sailed from his new capital Karthadast. The whole of Africa, Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica and the Balearic Islands quickly fell in his hands. Then he sacked Rome. For 14 days and nights Genseric pillaged the city and returned to Karthadast, carrying much booty and many thousand captives, the empress and her two daughters. The city and the people were spared. Yet, they are the 'vandals'.
