[Romani AAR] It began on seven hills...

[QuintusSertorius]

Carthago Delenda Est

While Scaurs Africanus had destroyed their capital, some minor kingdoms allied to Qarthadast still continued the fight, even sheltering Qarthadastim nobles among them. All traces of those loyal to Rome's rival were eradicated in 143BC.

Meanwhile in the new balance of power in north Africa, many independent tribes had emerged, throwing off the Qarthadastim yoke and now trying to establish themselves. The Roman client kingdom of Numidia was attacked by one such tribe seeking to expand their sphere of influence.

King Massinissa marched to aid the Mauretanian general Karab.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Small%20Wars/NumidianBattleStart.jpg

Karab and his forces were all but done by the time Massinissa arrived. His men were at a serious disadvantage, having to climb a steep hill to get to grips with the Masylii.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Small%20Wars/NumidianBattle1.jpg

They were too late to save Karab, who was slain by the Maesylian archers.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Small%20Wars/NumidianBattle3.jpg

Having weathered their losses, the Numidians finally got to grips with the foe.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Small%20Wars/NumidianBattle4.jpg

In the swirling melee, it was often difficult to tell how the battle was going.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Small%20Wars/NumidianBattle5.jpg

Eventually Massinissa's own presence was the crucial factor, exhorting his men to stand in spite of casualties. The tide began to turn and his own cavalry crested the heights and denied the enemy that advantage. The king closed the battle by riding down the enemy commander.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Small%20Wars/NumidianBattle7.jpg

And thus Massinissa had thwarted the ambitions of the Maesylii.

143BC:

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/II153BC.jpg

After taking Garama, I let it rebel since I don't want it. I also helpfully caused Mashiliem to revolt, leaving the Sab'yn with little in Africa besides Gaetulia. Doubt Mauretania will revolt, they've got a massive stack there.

Getting attacked by the rebels was a result of a battle my allies, the Saba got me into. Fighting uphill with light skirmisher troops is almost impossible. They take heavy losses from enemy missiles and their own are ineffective. Plus no armour to resist the attack, nor the mass to push the enemy back. I nearly lost that one.

Had to deal with Kyrene/Epeiros suddenly deciding to expand into Egypt. For a time the Saba also threatened Alexandria. Seleukids are holding on, and even starting to expand which is not so good. Started slowing down the supply of money they get.

Baktria have fought back some, but Pahlava remain the other real superpower, besides myself.

Illyricum now has type II government, the first place outside Italy/Sicily/Sardinia/Corsica. Undecided when Spain should follow. Greece and Makedonia are all type III. Mytilene has no government type at all, since I shouldn't really have it yet.

Now I'm just playing down the minor wars to the Marian reforms. There's plenty of barbarian rebel stacks in the central European defense to borrow (largely because the rebels keep getting massive sums every turn, and build troops who no longer fit in their settlements). Got to take Celtiberia and Lusitania by 133BC. Also have to carve out Asia Province, finally reducing the Greeks to Rhodes alone.

Then it'll be all kinds of random little things, a war with the Arverni to create Transalpine Gaul in the 120s. Possibly some raids of their Thracian lands. A trip to bash the Getai wouldn't be amiss.

[QuintusSertorius]

Lusitanian War, 142BC

General Fabius Maximus, governor of Further Spain, marched out to the heart of Lusitanian territory to threaten their capital itself. The attack on Baikor had to be avenged, or Rome's allies would think about joining the Lusotanii in revolt. He caught a foraging party outside Oxtraca, bringing the whole tribe out to fight.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle8Start.jpg

Easily disposing of the foragers, Fabius marched out to offer battle on a small rise.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle8-1.jpg

Tetu Baelocoi led the combined cavalry to harass the Iberians on the Roman left.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle8-2.jpg

They fell upon the Roman left.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle8-3.jpg

Meanwhile their infantry and skirmishers came on.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle8-4.jpg

Baelocoi pulled away from the fight to observe, while his cavalry charged home again.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle8-5.jpg

The infantry closed to attack.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle8-6.jpg

Meanwhile the Right ala and Second Legion began an enveloping maneuver.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle8-7.jpg

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle8-8.jpg

Fierce fighting continued in the centre and on the left.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle8-9.jpg

The Right ala worked it's way around the back of the Iberians.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle8-10.jpg

Baelocoi charged into the fray once more, meeting resistance from the triarii.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle8-11.jpg

The allied cavalry was now operating behind the Iberian line, routing their skirmishers.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle8-12.jpg

Baelocoi fought his way clean through the Roman line.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle8-13.jpg

But perhaps now cognizant of how the battle was going, he took off.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle8-14.jpg

The triarii tried to stop him escaping, but he was too fast.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle8-15.jpg

Close by, some of his men lost heart.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle8-16.jpg

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle8-17.jpg

Fear spread throughout their ranks, and now they realised just how grievous their losses had been.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle8-18.jpg

The few survivors tried to flee.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle8-19.jpg

Baelocoi was one of the few to escape the rout.

Great stuff, shame it takes so long to load:yes:

[QuintusSertorius]

Lusitanian War, 141BC

In the summer of 141 governor Fabius fought two pitched battles with the Lusotanii and their kin. He'd heard reports of a large army marching down the coast to Oxtracam but hoped the activities of the army of Nearer Spain would stop them. The Lusotanii king marched out to aid those coming to his relief, and thus numbers were about even.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle9Start.jpg

On an open plain, the armies met, the ground allowing cavalry freedom of movement.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle9-1.jpg

Fabius' slingers whittled down the enemy light cavalry.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle9-2.jpg

Then the braver Iberians tested their mettle by attacking the Roman lines.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle9-3.jpg

Perhaps leading by example, Bilosban Segobricoi charged. In the background, king Baelocoi and his army arrived.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle9-4.jpg

He fought hard.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle9-5.jpg

But the extraordinarii gave no quarter and cut him down.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle9-6.jpg

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle9-7.jpg

The commander of the main force dealt with, Fabius ordered his eager troops forward.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle9-8.jpg

Baelocoi made for the Roman left.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle9-9.jpg

His troops joined those already in the fight, and it became a desparate struggle for survival.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle9-10.jpg

Some levies wavered.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle9-11.jpg

Panic was infectious, even as some rallied, others fled.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle9-12.jpg

The allied cavalry was able to charge to the rear of the line formations.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle9-13.jpg

The king fought on regardless.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle9-14.jpg

But his people had lost the will to fight.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle9-15.jpg

He fled once again, evading all attempts to catch him.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle9-16.jpg

The first part of Fabius' strategy had succeeded.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle9End.jpg

However the commander of the army of Nearer Spain failed to prevent reinforcements arriving, and Fabius was trapped between Oxtraca and this new force, which outnumbered his own by some margin.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle10Start.jpg

He waited for them, urging his weary men on.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle10-1.jpg

The first move came from the enemy light cavalry.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle10-2.jpg

They were driven off by the infantry and allied cavalry working in concert.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle10-3.jpg

With a screaming warcry, the Iberians charged en masse.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle10-4.jpg

King Baelocoi arrived behind the Roman lines.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle10-5.jpg

He harrassed Romans lights, and not even the triarii sent to stop him could pin him down for long.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle10-6.jpg

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle10-7.jpg

The Spaniards fought on.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle10-8.jpg

Finally overcome by many wounds, Baelocoi fell.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle10-9.jpg

It came slowly at first, just a tremor.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle10-10.jpg

Then a full-scale rout.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle10-11.jpg

Vengeful Romans gave chase, killing all they could catch,

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle10End.jpg

Oxtraca surrendered and Fabius looted it before withdrawing his battered army.

[QuintusSertorius]

141BC:

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/II141BC.jpg

Had some really hard battles with the Lusotanii, they've put up a lot of fight. Makes me glad I didn't just steamroller them earlier, even though I could have done. It's a combination of all the AP weapons they have, along with so many units with very good morale. Some real touch and go fights where only by killing their general was I able to win. I was expecting a CTD after that second battle, seem to get a lot of them when I fight big battles on the AI turn (as that was).

I abandoned Oxtraca for now, I'll take it back again in a couple of years. The army of Nearer Spain is headed to Numantia which revolted thanks to my spy there. Which also neatly avoids a war with the Aedui who have been rather loyal allies. Going to long-siege it til 133BC. As in not take it, just repeatedly besiege then break off.

[QuintusSertorius]

139BC:

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/II139BC.jpg

Pretty hot war going on in Egypt between the Ptolemies and Kyrene/Epeiros. Kyrene started it for reasons that are beyond me, trying to take Ammonion (actually they did, but I gave it back to the Ptolemies). Now I've been spawning units to replenish their armies, but just enough so they won't be overrun, but not enough to let them start trying to conquer Egypt again.

Does annoy me that the AI with rtw.exe is incapable of combining all those pointless little stacks into something resembling a proper army.

Pahlava finally took Charax. Saba ragained Garrhae. Khiva rebelled, no doubt the idiot Saka let the garrison go walkies, so now they and Pahlava are at war. Still anything pulling more of Parthia's attentions east instead of west is a good thing.

Saba also took Pselkis, but they're under siege. I've got Numantia and Oxtraca under siege. The latter has an almost full stack of gold-experience, gold-equipment freed slaves. They should be interesting. Courtesy of it rebelling.

[QuintusSertorius]

Lusitanian War, 139BC

Appius Fabius Maximus had been recalled to Rome, and it fell to new men to finish the war with the Lusotanii. Tiberius Claudius Pulcher and his legate Servius Sergius Catalina were those men. They had cornered the last resistance in Oxtraca when their lines were attacked. The Iberians outnumbered the Romans, but most of their force was composed of recently freed slaves hastily armed for the defense of the capital.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle11Start.jpg

Tauro's band were summarily routed, and Zelicoi's mob arrived to find the Romans comfortably ensconced on a hilltop.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle11-1.jpg

The skirmishers took a heavy toll on the unarmoured ex-slaves.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle11-2.jpg

On they came, hurling rocks but staying out of close combat.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle11-3.jpg

Zelicoi made his presence known, charging the front line in an attempt to inspire his men.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle11-4.jpg

The legate Catalina led the Roman and allied cavalry in a charge to kill Zelicoi and his bodyguard.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle11-5.jpg

The impact was shuddering, screams of horses filling the air as man and beast were slain.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle11-6.jpg

They pulled out and prepared to charge again.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle11-7.jpg

Zelicoi fought on, heedless of the losses to his bodyguard.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle11-8.jpg

But one man could fight only so long unmolested, and he was pulled from his saddle.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle11-9.jpg

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle11-10.jpg

Pulcher pressed the moral advantage, ordering the advance.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle11-11.jpg

The enemy fell back, breaking into two groups. He was forced to split his army, sending the Iberian Left ala and First Legion in one direction, and the Second Legion and Latin Right ala in the other.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle11-12.jpg

When they finally got to grips with the enemy, the fight didn't last long.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle11-13.jpg

Many slaves were captured and put in chains once more.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/Iberian%20Wars/IberianBattle11End.jpg

137BC:

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/II137BC.jpg

The Seleukids realm, still under threat and shrunk a little bit more of late. Oxtraca is now mine, and there's peace with the Lusotanii. Numantia is still under siege. About time I started thinking about Asia Minor. My client ruler in Pergamon died so I'm now building a type III as it's been "bequested" to me. Which means Sardis, Ipsos and Side should also follow. Which means a fight with the Greeks once more.

Been trying to cause some rebellions but not having much success even with assassins sabotaging things.

That last was an annoying battle, because the freed slaves kept running. In the end I just had my cavalry charge to pin them down, then my infantry had to run to engage them and stop them slipping away again.

[Swordmaster]

Are you aiding the Seleucids or do they manage to ward off the Parthians on their own?

[General Appo]

He´s been aiding the Seleukids, and quite a lot. Or at least he was, he´s begun cutting down on the financial aid a bit, after they looked too strong. I´m guessing he might start giving them cash now again since they´re under threat again.

As General Appo says, the only reason they're still around is because I've been protecting them. Until recently they were getting 10-20k every turn and having their armies moved to convenient spots to defend their settlements. I also spawn extra units in any besieged settlement, and move threatening enemy stacks away. Now Pahlava are at war with both the Saka and Baktria, I'll port more of their stacks to that front and away from the Seleukids. Parthia have been getting hit with negative money most turns, too.

I'm talking about the last decades, actually.

[QuintusSertorius]

I'm talking about the last decades, actually.

There hasn't really been a time where I've not monitored and shepherded them. They did start expanding on their own in the last decade or so, Charax rebelled to them and they even besieged Seleukeia, so I stopped giving them money for a few turns. Now they're slowly losing ground to the Ptolemies again, and the Parthians are getting bolder, so back on the support.

[Swordmaster]

Alright, I was wondering whether they'd be more able if they could concentrate on defending Syria instead of an entire empire, hence why I asked. I've never seen them do that, since Syria is usually the first thing they lose, instead of the last. But I figure the Parthians are relentless in their onslaught, poor chaps.

Quite an enjoyable AAR, actually. I love your historical approach. To such an extent actually that I'm off playing another Romani campaign. :2thumbsup:

Glad you're enjoying it!

I'm in a quandry as to how to deal with Asia Minor now. KH have three provinces which should have been bequeathed to me in 133BC. I could just take them off them, but they're currently my protectorate.

I'm thinking when the time comes, I might just FD them to me, and give them Karia (after taking it off the Seleukids) so they've got Rhodes and Hallikarnassos. The Ptolemies could do with losing it anyway, they keep producing half-stacks who just sit on the coast like they don't know where they're going.

[QuintusSertorius]

I call this place, Deathmatch Island:

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/DeathmatchIsland.jpg

They're all at war with someone, so I was hoping they wouldn't just loiter about, but would kill each other. No such luck so far, they just seem to sit there. Still they're out of the way in any case.

135BC:

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/II135BC.jpg

No battles of late, but I have been having fun causing revolutions. As you can see, both Byzantion and Halikarnassos are now Rebel, and with big stacks in them too. I also caused Naissos to rebel, and now the Getai and Arverni are at war. However the Arverni don't seem to want to fight, even when I transport armies across to the region.

My next project is Augila, which I hope to make rebel. Got a spy and assassin at work already. Also working on Ipsos, the KH capital. Maybe before 133 rolls around I could have turned Asia Minor into a rebel fief.

[QuintusSertorius]

133BC:

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Kiero/EB%20screenshots/II133BC.jpg

This might be the last update if I can't get round the current problem, which is something naughty the Getai AI is doing. It was them before who nearly ended my game, and here they are once more.

If you have any ideas, by tech reports thread is here (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?p=1948964).

[QuintusSertorius]

Looking a lot like this is the end of my game. It's ironic that it's come at 133BC because that was very much a turning point for the Republic, with the actions of Tiberius Gracchus rousing the lower orders for the first time, and starting the chain of events that led to Marius, Sulla, proscriptions, Pompey, Caesar and the end of the Republic. In a lot of ways those were the very things I was looking forward to playing out, and I was so close.

But it's been fun, and I'll return to another Roman AAR like this when my other game, Epeiros-as-Pergamon is done. Hopefully the next game, with all the fixes in should be able to run right through to my intended end date, 31BC.

[Aaldaemon]

I can't believe this game is going to end. I could have bet my house on it you were going to finish this properly. :no: I gather there truly is no work around to your problem? :embarassed:

I still hope you find a workaround, but if not I'll check out your Pergamon game, that sounds promising. :yes:

[General Appo]

NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! *Refuses to believe it*

[QuintusSertorius]

Not looking like there is a solution. I've gone over 500 turns, which is a lot longer than most people play any single game, and I guess problems accumulate over that time. I also don't have all the fixes in, and have been swapping my script back and forth to get around the client ruler problems. I believe it's generals and client rulers that are the source of most of the problems, too, so they're linked. I make a lot of use of both, and I already had one brush with a near-fatal CTD with the Getai before.

[||Lz3||]

oh my god... tragedy!:drama1::fainting::drama2:

I'm so sorry Quintus , this AAR was one of the best I've read. I was actually checking it daily , I really hope this can be solved.

[Tyrfingr]

Have you tried to kill off the getai? ;)

[delra]

He can't. The game crashes when he tries to assault Buridava.
