I've just finished my Pahlavan campaign (H/M, large units) by 138 bc, 82 regions, 864 battles won, 20 lost and 82 familly members, Baktria, Hayasdan, Arche Seleukia, Ptolemaioi, Saka and Sarmatae destroyed by me. It's the first time I achieve victory in EB.
But I don't feel like resigning now and I need some more goals. Sacking (Carthage owned) Rome and Carthage herself is obvious (though far away). Does someone has an idea what stupid move I could do now?
Well delete your saved game, that is a nice stupid move:beam:
Cheers.
Hey that's a good idea. But I've just got another one: land an army on the EB islands on the bottom right end of the map.
Well, friend, I was ahead of you with this idea; See, in that other thread where you discuss the victory conditions, I mention that those obligatory conditions are just a first step in establishing an Iranian empire out-performing its historicity in order to give the player a sense of sincere, unrestrained accomplishment. These included conquest of Egypt, consolidation of Arabia, expansion into India, the submission of Hellene nations, Thracians and pesky nomads... And actually, if I wanted to take it all to a stretch, even include Carthage, Nubia and Ethiopia due to Cambyses' ambitions in extending his Egyptian campaign in these stages.
However such ideas will have to wait for later. In lieu of not being able to go through the hassle of sculpting the East, we have made it more inclusive.
Well, I´d say that taking Ireland is as good a goal as any, so you should start with that. If you still have anything left to conquer after that, you can always hunt down all traces of Greeks (Just look at the RV where you can recruit Hellenistic Mercenary Generals and then take those areas), or just set taxes at Very High in all your cities and see what happens.
Taking Hibernia? This requires naval domination. And naval domination is a true challenge when you can't buld anything but Transport boats.
Enough transport boats will eventually put a dent in a Deceres. Really.
Yeah, it only takes about 4 full stacks of Teransport Boats to take down a single Deceres. Besides, you wanted a stupid move.
