First some history of my empire.I am Macedon.I took all of greece over.And then crete and rhodes.I then took kicked the romans out of all 3 of their balkan settlements.I fought a war against both thracia and dacia.I took over all 6 of their provinces and establies a new northern frontier but I had an unreliable peace with sythia.I have fortified all mountain passes and bridges with border forts along the border of scythia.Next I attacked Italy and sent a small fleet to explore north africa.
Sounds normal right?Well this is whem things got a little bit strange.I saw that the julii had not taken patavium or mendalorium in northern italy.As a matter of fact the GAULS were beating the julii!The bruttii faction had mysteriously disappeared too.I attacked northern italy only just to find that all of their cities were under the control of the scipii.Strange thing is that I looked up their faction adn found out that it was DESTROYED!Maybe the scipii launched a civil war....
The gauls have taken all of britain and spain and parts of Germany and are now the great super power to the north.My fleet landed near Carthage.Did the scipii control the city asd usual?No.Instead I found out taht the scipii controlled all of southern Italy and Sicily....6 provinces...By the way this is 160 turns after I began the game...
I found Carthage controlling ALL of north africa west of cyrene.I also saw an army of GAULS attacking the city of carthage itself!Sure enough an army of Carthaginian soldiers attacked the gauls in the rear and annihlated them.Pontus now controls of all turkey as well as tarsus and antioch!
Now this is what I find strange.It seems that the 3 factions that always suck:Gaul,Carthage,and Pontus are now 3 SUPER POWERS!Carthage and Gaul were destroying the romans.This is 160 turns after the game started..........
Anything out of teh ordinary like this ever happen to you guys?
