If Jolt's going to keep taking so long, I think he should first post a map, then edit the write-up in the post. I'm very anxious.
I don't really want him to do that, I think it will just make it worse because then we'll all be like "why the **** is my province gone? WHY!? I NEED TO KNOW NOW!"
I do prefer seeing the map only after reading the write-up.
In that case, nothing to worry about this turn. :bow:

Got back from college an hour ago. Been playing NFS: MW for a little bit. Now I'm gonna go out with a friend of mine for a cup of coffee, then I'm gonna go shopping for dinner, then cook it then eat it, then back on the computer to do the turn.
That sounds suspeciously like I'll have to look at the turn tomorrow (20.33 here xD)

Always disagreed with patience being any sort of virtue ;)
But normally I wouldn't care much, just gonna be away for a while, so It'd be nice getting to do my turn first :p
Well, yesterday as I was actually starting to do the turn, the net went down again. Using logic, I wouldn't put it past me that the same would happen tonight again.
But it won't matter regardless, as I got back a while ago and I'm gonna go have a dinner with some friends and I'll only be coming back in high night hours. Depending on whether I'm sleepy and if the net is actually working, I might finally start doing the turn (As I don't have classes tomorrow).
I understand this sucks a lot for all of you, but these have been busy days, and the time of the day when I have time to do the turn is when I don't have the interwebs.

No offence, but if you don't keep a game rolling on schedule sometimes spam is all that keeps it alive. Not having a go, but extended phases are why most of these games don't last.

Posting off-topic in this thread just shows that we like your game. :smiley:
And that we are eager for more. How's about this for on-topic discussion: post your expectations for this round's results. I expect that...
Nabataea will make a move for Meroe.
The Bosporan Kingdom will make a move for Getae.
Rome will take Massalia.
Pergamon and Pontus will finally do something, possibly both of them invading Galatia at the same time, producing crazy results.
The Suebi will fail another invasion. :laugh4: Just kidding, Beskar. I hope you succeed.
Carthage will continue to do nothing.
The Seleucid Empire will come to a timely end. :rifle:

I would not approve of it. They have shown to be less than helpful, also, their time zone is crazy.

I'm not attacking the Illyrians. Furthermore, I have no wish to destroy them, a simple tribute to Rome will preserve them and their lands.
And, um, how would you break my "Etruscan origins?" Romans are descended from Anaeas of Troy, you fool, and our glorious city was founded by Romulus and Remus!
Until augustan period, they weren't that self-glorious. They still hold their etruscan memory. It is in fact only about 200 years since the occupation of Rome by etruscans ended.

I had predicted you would attack Massalia, not Illyria. Perhaps I spelled it wrong, but that would be the region northwest of your borders. Also, I wonder if Jolt will allow for things like tribute from NPC factions. I doubt it, based on his previous comments. I sure wish someone had taken control of the Illyrians, though. They're in a very interesting position. What exactly are your ambitions, Double A? I don't see why the ruler of the Roman Republic would sit back and watch the seasons change. You're in a position to do some powerful stuff. This isn't Civilization, where you can aim for a "cultural victory". This is Total War! You win via war!

1) Demanding things and not accepting compromise is not a form of diplomacy. Speaking diplomatically (ie, neutral) and diplomacy aren't the same thing, and you did neither.
2) Turtles aren't elephants.
Just got back to the college dorm (5:37 AM), and am not feeling too sleepy, adding that the interwebs is working (For now at least), I guess I'll get to making the turn change happen.

Now it is done. Gonna do the map now, and start the write-up. As it's 1:30 AM, and I've been on this for quite some hours, and since you're all very eager to see what has actually happened, I shall only simply describe the action and its result, and not roleplay it. Entertainment value shall drop, but the turn shall be here sooner.

If you feel like it you could always rewrite them later, but right now action-->result would be best.
240 B.C.
- The Roman Senate mandated Consul Lucius Decimus Manius to invade Liguria. He was successful in his endeavour and submitted the region not with a few casualties.
- Rome builds defences
- Carthage improves its defences
- A larger Illyrian navy attempts to raid Rome but fails to win the upper hand in the ensuing naval battles and retreats with higher losses than the Roman navy.
- The Hellenic city-states allow the ever victorious Akrotatos to attack their recent allies of Macedonia. They invade the Macedonian hinterland from Epirus and strike a large victory with few casualties.
- At the same time, the Aetolian League to their own invasion of Thessaly, under general Herakleios Thebaios. The debilitated Macedonian army, having fought off an invasion from Epirus at a cost, and still recently suffered from a coup d'etat, could not defend its territory properly from two invasions. So Thessaly was swiftly conquered by the Aetolians, with few casualties as well. And so little more than 50 years after its King controlled everything from Epirus to the Indus, the Kingdom of Macedonia was obliterated under a combined invasion by the ever-hostile Greeks.
- Pergamum and Cappadocia joined forces and invaded Galatia under a vast combined army. The Galatians, true to their fame, caused horrific casualties on both combined armies, and only the genius of Ariabazanes managed to win the day and subdue the Galatians, but not before most of their combined large armies perished in the fanatic resistence the Galatians put. In the end, Pergamum allowed Cappadocia to occupy the region.
- The Armenian King Samus I continued on the warpath as he invaded Atropatene, and this time he succeded in conquering the region for Armenia, with moderate losses.
- The Seleucids continued being pressured. This time, the Ptolemaics attacked the Syrian coastal region, only access of the Seleucids to the Mediterranean. Under Pharaoh Ptolemios, the Egyptians fell short and suffered great losses as the Pharaoh himself died.
- In the Far East, the giant Mauryan army under Vice-Roy Ashoka invaded. With the Seleucid army spread out also defending the Ptolemaic attack, resistence wasn't enough to prevent the Indians from occupying the heartland of the Persian Empire, once again with very few casualties.
- Accompanying the invasion, by water the Mauryan navy attempts once again to raid the Seleucid coast, this time facing the full Seleucid navy. Both navies fought over the Persian Gulf, with the Seleucid navy winning a decisive battle near Hormouz island, and sending the Indian navy scurrying back into the Indus mouth.
- With sponsorship of the Nabataeans the Jewish peoples rose in revolt and expelled the provincial governors there, proclaiming their independence.
- Not only that, but King Yada ibn Murthid invaded Sinai at the head of a large army and defeated the Ptolemaics with large casualties, as the King himself died.
- The death of Pharaoh Ptolemios led to a succession crisis. Militarymen and bureaucrats of the Empire supported a very popular General who was from Cyprus island named Ophellias, and with such support he proceeded to do a bloodless coup d'etat, killing the minor Ptolemaios and installing himself as Pharaoh. Thus the Ptolemaics came to an end and the Ophellid dynasty replaced it.
- Another succession crisis also happened in Nabataea, as the succession of the minor Hutar ibn Yada to the throne was contested by a great deal of nobles. As sides polarized, the Kingdom fell into civil war, between supporters and enemies of the young king.
- In Iberia, the Celtiberi under Melman Vaccaekum repeat the invasion of the Asturias and this time the Celtiberi leader is successful in conquering the region.
- In Britain, the newly arrived Belgae attempt to invade Cornwall and Wales, but fall short as the Bythonics resist the invasion and push them back.
- In Germania, Balthaz invades Pomerania once again, but fails again to subdue the Pomeranian tribes.
- In Getae the Cimmerian Greeks respond in force and invade the region with Pairisades at the head of the army. Like the previous Getae invasion, they too fail to go far, and suffer great casualties, as the King himself perishes in battle.
- A Mauryan assassin tries to assassinate King Lasthenes I Syriakos of the Seleucids but fails and is caught.
- A Macedonian assassin tried to assassinate Aetolian leader Alexarchos Lamia but failed and was caught.
Special Event:
- In Mauryan Taxila, after the conquest of Persis, a huge event happened: The new Mauryan Emperor in India and son of Ashoka's recently deceased elder brother and Mauryan Emperor Susima, frightful of Ashoka's rapid expansion and power, ordered him to step down and return to India. As soon as Ashoka refused, the Mauryan Emperor sent a huge army to subdue and destroy the rebellious vice-roy. The battles were huge but in the end Ashoka was successful in repelling the Mauryan forces. The losses were very heavy. But Ashoka gained his independence in a treaty with the Mauryan Emperor. On the downside, the Mauryan Taxila could no longer count on the large resource help from India, and would have to make do with what it had already conquered.
Family Matters:
Quite a few people died (Especially Nation leaders) and few people were born.

So you sent an assassin to kill my friend? Truly the seleucids cannot be trusted, even when they only helped get his puppet on reign? Well, I am glad I came down and put your men to the sword.
As for the seleucids, we will be eagerly awaiting them on our shores.
Rest assured, the land of greece no longer will have any war anymore. The waters, that is another matter.
And the hellenic league will prosper.

Yeah, me too. It seemed from the start the macedonians would not survive. He would have lived for 1 more turn if I hadn't attacked him, but rather defended the aetolians from their assassination attempt.

Can't wait for the PMs to come out.
There's a little problem now. See I just came back home from Lisbon where I study. I found out a while ago that my router is broken and wireless internet isn't working. Adding up that my brothers are here too (And they also need the interwebs) and we only got one computer with interwebs, AND that my game files are on my laptop, makes it for a bad turn of events.
Since it's Easter break, and I'm gonna be here in my hometown for the whole week, we'll have to put the game on hiatus either until my wireless internet is fixed or I get back to Lisbon. Either way, I'll see about getting a pen to bring the files here to the house's computer and PMing you guys your nation's resources.
Cool. This has been an exciting turn, thanks for putting up the results Jolt!

I'd like to brag about my amazing skills of prognostication. 5 out of 7 predictions came true!
How's about this for on-topic discussion: post your expectations for this round's results. I expect that...
Nabataea will make a move for Meroe.
The Bosporan Kingdom will make a move for Getae.
Rome will take Massalia. {{I misidentified the province of Liguria as Massalia, but it was actually the region I meant}}
Pergamon and Pontus will finally do something, possibly both of them invading Galatia at the same time, producing crazy results. {{I really can't believe this one happened so precisely}}
The Suebi will fail another invasion. :laugh4: Just kidding, Beskar. I hope you succeed.
Carthage will continue to do nothing.
The Seleucid Empire will come to a timely end. :rifle:
Interesting developments in Greece and Judea. Goes to show just how little the Greeks can be trusted. I wonder how the Aetolian League will handle being surrounded by the Greek League. They may be the next Macedonia.
Also, Jolt, I noticed there was no mention of my naval raid on the Euphrates. Perhaps it was just considered of relative unimportance in the interest of saving time, but I do hope it was successful.

Oops, I forgot to write about it. I just updated the post. Your navy was defeated by the Seleucid navy. :P
Plop. Thanks anyway Jolt. :)
LocalGod, what faction do you think you'll pick up now? The Illyrians and Nabataeans look like the most interesting to me.
Speaking of the Nabataeans, I noticed that there's still just a single Nabataean faction listed, though their domain on the map seems to indicate two. So I'm curious if Jolt might share some aspects of how civil wars work. I assume the two different sides will make decisions as if they were two different factions, and whenever one loses all its military, they take control of all the provinces in question?

I can roleplay that he sent the assassin on the year 251 and we invaded them in 252 because of that :tongue:
Also, as long as there is no conflict between us, the Aetolian league and the Hellenic league will not have any more greek deaths.

seeing this map:
https://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu150/Joltie/Rome240.png
1) The Hellenic League saying they'll have peaceful time with Aetolian League, and as there is no Makedonia and Epeiros to check the balance in Hellas proper, I think the Spartan minds will soon take over and invade Aetolia anyway, we all knew well about Spartan bloodlusts.
2) Opphelids Pharaoh (sucessor of Ptolemaioi) will have bad times with the revolt in Judea, looks like the Seleukeia will soon take advantage of the situation, and looking at several minor factions nearby, their possessions will attract more carrion birds.
3) Rome - Arvernii or Illyrian wars or both, will be almost inevitable sooner or later
4) Armenia will continue to either pressure Seleucids, or attack Cappadoceia. I hope the Cappadoceia-Armenia border is safe, or they should face severe consequences.
5) Numidia will raid Kart-Hadast regions, but there will be nothing spectacular in the rest of areas, maybe some Barbarian tribes will mount invasions to independent regions, but that's all

Good of you to join! :beam: Be warned that this game has been on delay for some time now. As far as identifying provinces, I would recommend going to www.europabarbarorum.com, click Features, then Map. Those regions closely correspond to this game's map. You can also just reference them based on their position relative to your own territories. For instance: "I invade the region northwest of my northern province."

Indeed. I'm well versed in ancient history, so names or directions will do either way. :P
Btw, I'd recommend you chosing Getae. I feel (Because I have no idea of the current resources that each nation currently has) that you have a lot more breathing space and expansion choices then with Illyria, where you are bordered by mighty Rome and the victorious Hellenic League. Besides the Cimmerian Bosphorus probably only attacked Getae because they as an NPC, do not do diplomacy. Now if you can convince the Cimmerian Bosphorus to be good friends with you, then you can expand to wherever you like, as you can't be attacked by anyone but the Cimmerian Bosphorus. In Illyria's case, the threat of Roman or Greek invasion will probably be always present, which might deter you from committing forces to invade other provinces, for the sake of leaving your home provinces poorly guarded. But that's just my opinion.
You know, you could take up Bactria...

I can only say that it's highly unlikely that the hunger of Rome will be satisfied with some Adriatic provinces. Sooner or later, it will turn west, and it will be even stronger if it's allowed to take Kingdom of Illyria.

The "hunger of Rome" will be satisfied by crushing its enemies, with either its Legions or their willing submission. So far, only the Illyrian pirates have proven themselves to be enemies of Rome through their attempts to raid Italy's shores. Rome has bordered the Arveni for years, yet has seen no cause for aggression. The Carthaginians are a very peaceful people, and Rome sees no reason why they would now or ever invade our shores. You have brought this upon yourselves.

Illyrians wish to say that those pirate attacks were made under a previous administrations and current one does not hold itself responsible for that. King Pleuratos also reminds consul that he offered non agression pact to Rome, as he has no desire for Roman lands. :)
Now when this is cleared, the fight can begin. If the Romans want to fight, we'll be prepared. The fields of Illyria will be soaked in Roman blood when this war ends.

As Chieftain of the Arveni, I will note that Illyria and Rome has been at war with each other for decades now, and as I remember it Illyria were the aggressors as much as the Romans were. For this reason I will say that, while I support peace and a stability in the region, I do not wish to get militarily involved at this moment.
The great king Pleuratos was under influence of bad advisors when he ordered those pirate attacks. They all rot in cells now.
I'm very excited to see that the remaining faction slots are filling up! This game keeps getting more interesting.
...only sending a naval tribute will show Rome that you are sincere in your offers of peace.
Don't do it, Stark! If you give up naval power now, you'll have nothing to prevent Rome from raiding your coasts, where your land forces will be unable to prevent them from looting. You're best off sticking to your guns, which for Illyrians would mean piracy.
P.S. Just to clarify, I have absolutely no game reason to invade provinces without resources (except roleplaying)?
I'm not sure if a definitive answer has been given by our gracious host, Jolt, but he did comment on the white provinces earlier. I think that at the moment they provide no benefits, so... yeah, not much reason to take them. Personally, I think it would be great if each white province was made to give +5 of some resource so they'd have some value.

I'll start doing the turn change in a moment. The white provinces (Depends on whether you are talking about the resource map or the political map) do give off resources (Unless they are white in the resource map). That is how you expand as countries. You conquer more provinces and they give you more resources. -_-'

Not only that, but both battles managed to get special events (In one of the battles, there was two special events. One for either side). Random.org is probably biased towards high numbers right now. To get a special event, you usually need to score 98, 99 or 100 in a roll.

Most probably today. Most of the turn is done. All I have to do is roll a few battles remaining, do the resources changes, roll deaths/births/events, and then write the write-up.
As a sidenote, I've changed the mechanic of the births. Now newborns can either be aged 0 or 10.
Good to hear :) Looking forward to it! Thanks for your work, man...
I just came back to Lisbon. That means full internet all time of the day (Except when I'm not in the computer).
Gonna watch Real Madrid vs F.C. Divers, and I'll get back on the turn after that.

Sorry to disappoint you guys but I don't think the write-up is coming today. The main problem comes from me rolling game events the rolled event will shake Greece to the core. It appears this turn, the dice has been either of extreme luck and extreme unluck. I blame random.org.
That said, I had the idea of an epic write-up. Which I haven't even began. And now this event happens, which means the write-up will grow even larger. Ughhh...

230 B.C.
There was a large rally in Campus Martius, Rome. Thousands of Roman legions had there gathered on the Senate's command, who had mandated Consul Kaeso Gnaeus Appius to submit the Illyrian tribes and put an end to the piracy. Confident that they were secure from either a Carthaginian or Gaulish attack, the entire army was ordered to join the invasion. As ranks had finished forming, the Consul cried, "Who shall be victorious???" replied by a thundering roar by the thousands of men "Roma! Roma! Roma!". The roar echoed through the nine hills of Rome, and so did the mighty army of Rome and it's Italian armies depart to subdue the Illyrians. Likewise, the entire Roman navy had been given orders to make war by sea, seeking and destroying the Illyrian fleet. The Roman army stretched for miles like a serpent, adding each passing day more men who were stationed along the way.
On the other hand, due to the recent Roman saber rattling, Pleuratos phreaps had thought it wise to remain on the defensive, expecting a Roman attack. So his foresight payed off, and before long Illyrian scouts in Venetae hurried home with reports of a massive Roman army on its way to Pannonia Illyrica. Not before long, ships hurried back to the coast with reports that the Roman navy was laying waste to all Illyrian ships, regardless of purpose. Pleuratos immediately ordered its entire navy once again to beat back the Roman naval offensive while at the same time he gathered his men in Dalminion. A very large army had also been gathered, and Pleuratos said to them all “The Romans come to destroy our houses, burn our crops and take our women. Are we as Illyrians, going to let them? Or ARE WE GOING TO FIGHT AND MAKE SURE THE ROMANS COWER IN FEAR AND NEVER FORGET WHAT IS TO FACE ILLYRIANS IN BATTLE???” A roar of approval was followed by the large Illyrian army. “Very well then! Let us show these Romans why we do not fear no one!” Having organized the large army, Pleuratos went to the encounter of the Romans.
*Elsewhere*
Newly crowned Pharaoh Ophellias had decided that the Meroe were a threat that he couldn’t afford to keep. They threatened Egypt from the rear and if his reign was ever to be secured, then the Meroes had to be defeated and expelled from Nubia. So he gathered a very large army, and left little of garrison and departed from Alexandria to the South. Ophellias was known to be a Military Expert, but on the other side there was Amanasen Apedemak, son of the late Meroitic King and half-brother of the current one.
Meroe too looked into its own situation as rather bleak. Egypt was clearly wealthier, but had more enemies. The loss of Sinai and the coup d’etat had shown a fragmented political situation. So the King ordered his half-brother who was also extremely talented in military affairs, to take practically the entire army and attempt once again to take Upper Egypt. Not only that, but the King also ordered the Naval forces to raid the Egyptian navy.
As the armies unknowningly headed towards each other, and wanting to deal a surprise, Nastasen sent the river fleet up ahead to scout for defences. Unfortunately, while the fleet sighted Pharaoh Ophellias and his large army, the Egyptian ruler also saw the large foreign navy moving deep into Egyptian territory. Such a strong fleet could only mean that Meroe was invading like they had done before, so betraying the intentions of the Meroitic Prince. Thus Ophellias sent a runner downstream to call for the River Navy to deal with foreign ships.
Ophellias also immediately thought of outmaneuvering their enemy to utterly destroy them without having to fight. The problem lied that Nastasen thought of the same thing. Using the Nile river as anchor, both armies divided their armies evenly in both sides of the river. The war basically turned into a maneuvering war as both sides tried to outflank the other. With a larger army, Nastasen was more incisive and direct with his maneuvers, and after a while he consistently began to manage outmaneuvering Ophellias at the expense of his manpower, as Ophellias frequently left ambushes behind his army positions which were taking a large toll in the Meroe army.
In the river, things were different. Owing to the numerical superiority of the Egyptian navy, the Ophellids quickly brushed off the Naval Meroitic offensive and from that point onwards, assumed naval surpremacy as the two armies battled along the river.
Soon enough, superior maneuvering by Nastasen had left half of the Ophelid army trapped and surrounded in the Eastern side of the Nile river. With victory in their grasp, as the Meroitic army moved to wipe out half of the Egyptian army, the Egyptian navy arrived on mass and transported the Egyptian army to the other margin, joining both armies together.
With the Eastern shore lost, it was apparent that Ophellias needed to retreat North and reposition itself. With a superior army now on the Western shore, Ophellias could easily provide against encirclements and did attack the Meroitic left army head-on, as the latter prepared for another envelopment. Having routed the Meroitics, who retreated quickly as they realized they had no hope of victory, Ophellias began marching North. But in a shock, large numbers of Egyptian native cities, including Thebes and Memphis had willingly surrendered to a more culturally similar Meroe, shedding their Hellenic garnments and overlords. Plenty of native Egyptian troops and a small sized navy had joined the Eastern Meroitic army and ferried them to the Western shore.
Ophellias was thus surprised attack from the North and then attacked again from the South.
In a stroke of luck, provided by the Egyptian’s defections, Meroe had successfully outmaneuvered and surrounded the Egyptian Pharaoh, who barricaded himself in a city near the Nile.
The Ophellid navy immediately departed to destroy the small Meroe-Egyptian navy blocking the path in the North, so they could then ferry back the army little by little, North into friendly territory.
But that was an utopia as day after day, the Meroe army pummeled the city, without regard to casualties, simply to force the surrender of practically the whole Ophellid army.
It was in this dire situation that a priest of Osiris approached the Pharaoh and said. “I have been noticing that the wind is unusually very humid, and the sky is clear at dawn while very cloudy at sunset. Since we are close to the beginning of the flood season, this means that there will be a sudden flood in the flood plains at tomorrow at setsen.
It immediately struck Ophellias. Having immediately sent a group of men on horseback towards a few Ophellid ships stationed in the river next to the city where the entire army was, the men were sent with a message to call the entire navy. Fortunately, the Egyptian navy had just defeated the rebellious Egyptian navy thanks to the arrival of the Mediterranean Ophellid ships.
In the next day, Ophellias forced his way out of the city with his whole army through the weakest direction: East, towards the river. Nastasen was perplexed with the decision of Ophellias to trap himself, but nevertheless. Throughout the day, the Meroitic army attacked and attacked, and finally the army looked very close to breaking formation, when near sunset, Ophellias ordered to the men to chaotically board the ships. From the Meroitic perspective, it looked as if the enemy had been broken and were fleeing to the ships as they could. As the Meroitic army eagerly moved in for the kill once again, up came a giant flood wave which swept the whole frontline of the Meroitic army, plus the few unfortunate Ophellid soldiers who stayed behind covering from their comrades to board.
Nastasen had just lost as many men in that in that wave as throughout the whole campaign. He was incredibly upset at the events. Ophellias still thought of sailing downstream and attack the deserted cities, but his army was not in any shape to do so, having just escaped certain destruction. The phyrric Meroe army was then greeted by the Egyptians as liberators.
*Returning to Illyria*
As the naval battles raged in the Adriatic, Pleuratos attempted to stop the Roman army right at its tracks, before they could take Segesta. In the ensuing battle, the larger and more disciplined Roman army was simply too much for the Illyrians, and the latter ones were defeated decisively and sent back to Dalmatia.
As the Roman army gained momentum, the Roman navy faltered and was beaten back practically everywhere by the hardy sea Illyrian pirates. Consul Kaeso thought of all the glory he could gain if he conquered all of Illyria in one campaign and exterminated all pirates in one go. He would get a triumph for sure and be inscribed in the annals of Roman history. Dreams of grandiouse began installing themselves in his mind. Even though pointed out that the territory to be conquered by the Senate had already been annexed and that without a naval logistical support, supplying his army that deep into Illyria, especially the whole army of Rome would be nigh impossible. Nevertheless, inspired by his successes, Consul Kaeso ordered his army once again the army forward, into the Illyrian home province of Dalmatia. There he met once again Pleuratos and very soon after the armies vans met, the Illyrian army broke and began fleeing. Kaeso, ordered his army to press forward, but soon fell into a large scale ambush and large bodies of troops appeared from the forests on the sides of the Roman army, and fully routed the Roman legions.
The losses were catastrophic. In the Adriatic, the news were not heart-warming for the Romans either. The Roman navy had been defeated and any hopes of winning or even mildly losing had been shattered. Most of the Roman navy had been sunk
The Roman army, hardly pressed by the Illyrian one, under orders from the Consul, had encamped on the margins of a river near Segestica. When pointed out the tactical mistake by a Centurion, he had the Centurion demoted. Shortly afterwards, out of nowhere the still inferior Illyrian army attacked from all sides, and the Romans began fleeing in anyway possible. However, instead of finishing off the Roman army, Pleuratos and his elite companions went after the Consul. Yet, he persued too deeply and soon he and his companions were outnumbered by the Romans who suddenly turned from fleeing and captured Pleuratos. Not far behind was coming the Illyrian army, who was beaten back by the Roman forces and avoided the whole Roman army’s destruction. Thus the Romans retreated from Illyria with devastating casualties.
A face-saving action was the capture of the Illyrian King, which prevented the Consul from being looked at with deep hostility and regarded as a complete imcompetent. The Illyrians managed to retain their lands, but lost their King.
Short version:
- Rome invades Illyria and raids is, and is pwned hard in both, suffering high losses.
- Ophellids and Meroe invade each other, Meroe raids Ophellids. Meroe defeats Ophellids with high losses while Ophellids suffer few losses. Meroe is defeated in its raid.
- On the aftermath of the invasion, and already on former orders of King Pleuratos, Illyria improved roads and garrisons, improving its defence.
- Elections happen in Rome, and two new Consuls are elected. One of them is a strangely familiar Maximus Decimus Meridius [age 40, Mil 10]...Wasn't he a slave?
- The Hellenic region once again improved its roads and established a fast vessel to be sent to the Island Member-States if they need help from the mainland or to ask help to the island member-states. Overall, it improved their defence.
- Cooperation between Pergamum and Cappadocia continues as both Kings invade and personally lead their armies Bithynia. Their combined armies suffered low losses, and as Galatia had fallen to the Cappadocians, Bithynia fell under the domain of Pergamum.
- King Akamenos Spartiates of the Cimmerian Bosphoros invaded the land of the Bastarnae. By playing some tribes against the others, he quickly secured the loyalty of the most important tribes and defeated his opponents with minimal casualties.
- However, the Getae, commanded by Zyraxes, in turn invaded the Cimmerian Mikra Scythia with their whole army. Contrary to past invasions, the Getae brushed through the Cimmerian defences and inflicted great casualties on them, not before taking heavy casualties themselves from the stubborn Cimmerian defences.
- To the general surprise of the gods, for the first time, Armenian King Samus I trades war for peace, and does not invade anyone, staying at home playing with his cat Nyan.
- The Nabataean civil war comes to an end as the opposers to the King’s rule was defeated and swiftly executed.
- Former Mauryan Vice-roy of Taxila and later the first King of Gandhara, Ashoka, dies at the age of 70. Seleucids from USA all the way to China cheer and applaud.
- Celtiberi warchief, Melman Vaccaekum, after conquering the Gallaecia, moves Southward and defeats the Lusitanians, bringing them into the Iberian fold with moderate casualties. Only the Iberian tribes and Greek colonies of the Eastern Iberian coast remain independent.
- Likewise, Arveni warchief too attacks the land of the Aedui, and succeeds in conquering it with low casualties.
- The Arveni also invested in a network of roads, which allows better movement in defence of their country.
- The Belgae, furious that the Brythonics of Cornwall and Wales continuously repel every invasion, send an invasion with practically their whole army and finally manage to conquer it, with low casualties. However, their only General, Bogduanos dies in the campaign. Luckily, the remaining chieftains agree on a proper successor to become chief of the Belgae.
- In Germania. Failed invader Balthaz dies of old age triggering a succession crisis which is also peacefully disarmed as Germanic tribal chieftains agree on a new leader.
- In Arachrosia, the new King Timarchos, inspired by Gandharan successes, too attempts to conquer Seleucid land, and invades Gabienne. But the Seleucid defences were already expecting movements in the East, and moved swiftly to defend the region. After a couple of battles, the Arachrosians withdrew with moderate casualties.
- Bactria woke up as well, as its King Andragoras attempted to attack Sogdiane, who had given Alexandros extreme problems in being conquered. Phreaps as poetic justice, and facing an inferior army, the Bactrian army suffered absolutely catastrophic casualties, with very few men of the invading army returning back. King Andragoras himself died in the fighting.
Major event:
- In the city of Thesalonike, a plague started which quickly spread throughout mainland Greece. Thousands fell ill on the streets and died, scared people left the cities for the more sparsely populated field. The victorious Greek leaders were no different. Of the leaders of the Hellenic and Aetolian Leagues, all those with probability of succeeding, died shortly after the plague began. Both leagues immediately erupted into internal bickering as to who would be the leaders that would succeed and lead the leagues. As the plague intensified, so did the tensions. Soon Sparta and Athens were again at war for control of the league. As cities choosed sides in Greece proper, a wealthy men from Pydna, Macedonia, bought some mercenaries from Thrace along with several émigrés from Bithynia and took control of Macedonia. With the Hellenic League collapsing from internal warfare, he quickly gained the alliegance of the main Macedonian cities and their garrisons. With the far-away power centers in shambles, he quickly moved into Epirus and gained the support of the region as well. From a plague started in Macedonia, so the Kingdom was reborn.
- In the Aetolian League, the “Three heroes” as they were called in Aetolia, quickly died from plague, a powerful strongman with influences in Aetolia, quickly mustered his own mercenaries and took over the Aetolian League, declaring himself a tyrant. Those who resisted him either murdered, fled or were exiled. In recently conquered Thessaly, a reaction was the reestablishment of the Thessalian League, refusing to submit to the Aetolian League. Before long, many proeminent exiled members of the Aetolian League who had survived based themselves on the Thesalian League, who established its capital in Larisa. Thus, in a couple of years, the apparently unified Greece under two leagues broke down into the usual internal bickering as old consensual leaders died off and there was no one agreed upon or with the prestige to replace them. So Greece lies once again divided.
Short version:
- Hellenic League has a succession crisis and falls into a civil war with Macedonia seceeding.
- Aetolian League has a succession crisis and also falls into a civil war + regime change (To Monarchy) + Thessaly seceeding.
Familly Affairs: Loads of people (Especially old men) died. Not that many born.

Double A and Stark must attempt to agree to some deal for Pleuratos. If Stark doesn't want any deal/no deal is made until the end of the turn, then Pleuratos will be executed.

Didn't they dominate your lands whilst steamrolling rome?
~Jirisys ()
I suggest you lay off the 'fun stuff' for a while, Greek, for it's clearly affecting your mental capacities. The Carthaginians have never even set foot in my lands, and they wouldn't dare do so now or in the future.
It seems to the illyrians who their true friends are. I hope they survive, from the time Bardilys killed the macedonian king, it is time to show them once again who their masters are.
While I am in no condition to defend the brave Illyrians from the onslaught of the Romaioi Barbaroi, I will do my best to help them in any way I can; as they can now see what beast is the truly evil one. One that says peace and makes war.
I propose an alliance with the Illyrian kingdom, recognizing them as a brave and noble tribe. One that will be respected by all men of hellas. I propose mutual help, and cooperation.
May Niké grant us her deeds.

Holy crap, that was an awesome turn! Lots of exciting stuff, epic warfare, plenty of tactical details, and a leader captured! :gossip: I'm singing your praise, Jolt.
So the number of factions in Greece increased from 2 to 5 in a single turn? Looks like jirisys and crysis (whose names rhyme) have their work cut out for them. Rome's legions got royally spanked, but they nabbed a royal in the process. I hadn't guessed that hostage situations could even arise in this game, so that's quite interesting. Egypt and Meroe clash in a crazy series of battles, culminating with Egypt's forces being saved by mother nature's intervention (truly a "deus ex machina" moment) but losing a province. Pergamon and Pontus, who shall henceforth be known as the Powerful "P" Pair, continue tag-teaming Asian Minor. And in a shocking turn of events, Armenia doesn't try to kill anyone. I love it! :laugh2:
Say, the Celtiberians are becoming quite a power over in Hispania. I assume they'll be invading the east coast next, but then what?

Btw, to avoid confusion, that plague is totally random. I just picked Double A's reference and decided (Simply for write-up purposes, with no mechanical impact whatsoever) the plague would start in Thessalonica. It could have been in the Far-East or it could have been in Egypt or Italy or Carthage or Iberia or anywhere else really.
Btw B_Ray, that capturing King thing was one the three battle events. The other was Ophellid getting battle event of retreating with little casualties (Flood plains-almost being captured drama-epic nature save action) and Meroe gaining volunteers (Which I turned into cities surrendering for write-up purposes.)

Quick question I noticed my income is the same as it was during at the start of the game shouldn't it be higher now since I have two provinces under my control?
BTW very nice write up my invasion of the Ophellids was nerve wracking and intense :laugh4:
Agreed. Still not certain if I should consider that a victory or defeat...

No, seriously, I edited it.
I was under the impression the Getae was player controlled?
Anyways, i hope none of you all will be missing the Getae anyway, as now they're going down, I shall impale every single one of them to sticks!

1. Yes, they are
2. You can try
3. I have no struggle with anyone else but the Bosphorans at the moment, who have invaded our lands, have subdued free tribes and taken our wives and killed our men, without any cause, like barbaroi who they so detest. They are the aggressors and as long as there are free tribes of thracian, dacian or skythian blood in the balkans suppressed by foreign powers we, the Getae, will fight them, to the death.
They have tasted our blades twice now and they will taste them again, if they do not agree to leave all lands west of the bosphoran sea and seek subjects to their imperial minds elsewhere.
EDIT: resources PM? I need to know what to impale them on :devilish:

Congratulations to the King of Meroe on conquering the Egyptian usurper.
Illyria must respectfully decline all alliance offers, as it suffered serious Roman attack and it would be unwise to start some foreign adventure right now. Prince Aplis Pleuratos assures everyone that Illyria has no interest in its neighbours lands (Greece and Italy). May peace be restored in Mediterranean.
He also hopes that the destruction of both fleets and armies of invader should serve as a warning to all who might crave Illyrian lands.

While the Getae hold no interest in the lands currently held by the Illyrian tribes, we do watch closely what is happening to our west.
If it is not roman or greek lands you are craving, what are the lands you have set your eyes upon? I have to warn you, that we will not tolerate any advance east on your part.
Should you agree not to advance into these lands, we certainly have no fight with you. The tribes of the Balkans should not fight each other and thus probe an easy target for foreign threats.
Therefore I propose a non-aggression treaty to the Illyrians, andalso the Macedons and all the ever-changing greek leagues, if they accept the claims of the Getae tribe to the lands to our west up until the current lands of the Illyrian kingdom and the lands to our south, down to the end of Europa.
Illyria will not touch any civilised country. Barbarian lands to to north may be the target of Illyrian armies some day. If Getai tribes get there first, we will respect their territory. However, we don't see any reason to respect Getai claims to those lands, as their leader hasn't explained on which ground does he claim them. Just saying some territory is yours means nothing.
I accept your non-agression pact (if you want it on these terms) but I cannot promise not to invade barbarian lands north of me.
If those lands remain unpossesed by any central authority, we do not see any reason to hold our arms indefinitely.

meh, then those Barbarian Illyrians just shown us that they can't be trusted themselves. I choose to support Rome, and advise them to use the cruellest torture to be exacted on that Barbarian King

???????
How did we do that? I proclaimed that I won't attack anyone. I even specified that I mean both Greece and Italy, as they are my only neighbours. Where did the Illyrians show that they can't be trusted???

"barbarian" lands in front of you actually belongs to the Boii tribes, they are much more civilized than you, Illyrian pirates and cutthroats. Now, get out of my sight. May Roman boots crush your bones and cleanse your cities with fire. Ending the piracy in mediterrania
The Bosporan kingdom strongly advice against any diplomatic ties with the Getae for 2 reasons: A) they've proven themselves to be unreliable, and B) anyone found dealing with them, will be considered enemies of the Bosporan state, and no better than them. (E.g. your people will also be slaughtered and impaled).
Other than that, the Bosporan kingdom has no intention of meddling in other sovereign states affairs.

Have Illyrians ever done something to you? I can't understand what's behind all that anger.
Our ships have never ventured far out of Adriatic, and they certainly weren't even near Pontic coast. And even Adriatic piracy will stop. Prince Aplis has proclaimed Illyrian neutrality, and even that was met with attacks and insults.
I see no reason for all this slander and lies against Illyrian Kingdom.

Getae is controlled by TLD. It was under his orders that Mikra Scythia was invaded.
EDIT: resources PM? I need to know what to impale them on :devilish:
Resources PMs incoming.
oh i know, it was just listed as getae not being led by anyone ;)

Same here. I think my income values have been the same. The only thing I think was added was a Naval income after constructing ships, but that's it.

Don't forget you had a landlocked bonus in Gold, which you lost when you conquered a coastal province. Since it was also a Gold province, you didn't end up losing Gold but only on the Wood.
In the case of Chuchip, he's right as I hadn't added Upper Egypt's bonus.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyways, PMs sent. As always please search it for errors I might have committed.
I'd like to advise Beskar and crysis7, who didn't send any Turn orders last turn, to do so for this turn. If they miss another turn, I might have to replace them (I don't think that will happen with Beskar, but I'm not so sure about crysis7.)
Also, Getae has a new general, that I forgotten to create.
