Has anybody else seen the Sweboz expand in huge amounts? In 20 years they have almost quadrupled their empire. In about 255 BC they were confined to their orginal provinces, now they are north of the alps and east of the alps moving east and south. They are also expanding east fighting the Averni. As Rome they are starting to scare me. Makedon just attack and I have to deal with them as well as a rebellion in Iberia.
Thanks for making this game hell guys! :laugh4:
I believe that would make them the 1st Reich...
All factions have the possiblity of expanding in huge amounts save the Yuezhi, Sumoratae, and Casse.
So it's not out of the ordinary. If the Casse spread to the mainland by 1 province, by means of conquest or if Carthage attacked Rome- then I'd be floored.
Funny you mention that, in my game as Baktria (haven't gotten to play in about a week), the Carthaginians sent a full stack against Rome before either got to E. Sicily. Bypassed Syracuse and Messana and Bruttium, headed straight for Capua. Next time I play I'll have to load, so who knows what that'll do to the Carthaginian army.
prepare to be floored!Quote:

This is one of the games from the saved games thread I'm playing around with.
The casse landed a full stack on the mainland and finally took Bratosporios from the aedui after several tries.
Well I never! I've played multiple campaigns and this is the first time I've seen the Casse expand offshore.
One of the reasons we quickly provided the .73a patch was the discovery that we accidentally gave the Casse - as their cheap, starter vessel - the Poeni Penterai in v.73. They absolutely annihilated every other vessel in the north atlantic, baltic, and anywhere else they cared to sail. The coastlines of all Europe were their oyster.
(So aside from the "complete fantasy" problem, this would very likely have increased the number of their invasions) :laugh4:
Something appears to have happened to the Sweboz in my Hayasdan campaign
They haven't moved by 227BC
Quite a surprise, because in my .72 Aedui campaign, they were attacking four of my cities with full stacks simultaneously at 234.
The Sweboz in my campaign have 2 cities, tiny armies and their capital is under constant siege from 3 full stacks of rebels. The year is about 215BC right now, they once had a 3rd city but it rebelled and went to the Gauls who also got a free 20 unit stack from it.
ORB, check to see if they became another factions protectorate. This may account for their passive game play.
I just ran an AI campaign for a hundred years or so, and once the Casse took over all of their isles they definitely tried to come ashore at Bratisporos, but the romans kept funnelling good sized armies up there and they were never able to take it. THey would send over full stacks and still they never were able to grab a foothold - but at least they were trying consisitantly.
Was that my Roman game that i posted? I remember before i abandoned it that the Casse landed an army there, sieged the town and then left, went back to Britain.Quote:

Yeah i got tired of just wading through army after army and never getting anywhere because another army would take its place... Plus the new traits file came out and it wasn't SG compatible so i quit... How are my family members doing!?
The Sweboz aren't anyone's protectorate but have now, in the space of four years taken another 4 towns, and are about to take a sixth. They have Romans on their southern border, whom they are allied to. They have gauls on their west, whom they are not allied to.
pretty fast expansion here.
The Sweboz took Segesta (but it rebeled) and they are starting to cross into Macedon and into the Getai citys. It is quite insane. All in the span of 20 years, they went from nothing to a massive empire.
Is Sweboz recruitment still being worked on? I can't recruit anything in the Amber Route towns, nor anything in those Eleutheroi towns to the south (the ones that have Aedui Type 4 gov't's in them already).
my main motivation to register on this board was this thread.
i know that this was not intentional, but reading this stuff is causing some bad feelings in german souls (at last in mine). this unspeakable period of 12 years is a pain in german asses which makes it almost impossible to be proud of our country and our history again and dreaming about earlier times, when our ancestors were still s****ing in the forest (actually english ancestors too) is some kind of escape from this horrible historical picture. hence i don't like to see that the swéboz and other germanic groups are interlinked with those ignorant murderers in whichever way. having a closer look, one realises that national socialism as an ideology and lifestyle is totally 'ungermanic' (which is a very relieving cognition). i know that was just a funny worplay or whatever, but i needed to say something to it though. :shame:
