By 200 in my campaign Carthage swallowed Italy right up to Bononia, further north several provinces were conquered by Epeiros. Rome has taken the place of the Aedui (who still resist! one small village hasn't been taken! seriously, reminds me of Asterix:beam: ), and they're getting thrashed by Lusotana, Sweboz and Epeiros. It's the first time Rome has ever been brought to its knees by the AI.
It looks like if Rome does get detroyed completely, those four will be thrashing each other and carnage would ensue. Skulls to the skull throne!

Carthage beating up the Roamns happens sometimes, Epeiros expanding northwards is rare though. Would you mind posting a screenshot?

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
If you like to know it exactly just have a look in the EBBS script (.../Rome - Total War/EB/data/scripts/show me), it's written down in the "2c: Roman Reforms" section (search the file for "2c:" or "Marian")
IIRC it's something like a 6 percent chance after a specific date if they have 20 settlements.
Nice campaign btw.
Oh, and welcome to this forum. ~:)
Thanks, although I didn't find the AI conditions (Just an seemingly endless procedure to count the latifundiae) it's great to know that there is a chance to fight against proper roman legions one day. And thanks for the welcome.
Want to know it exactly?
Just open the spoiler. ~:)
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
This is the complete script used to trigger Marian reforms for the AI (red lines):
;Unconditional AI Reforms
monitor_event FactionTurnEnd FactionType seleucid
This is just to make sure the script checks at the end of every player turn (when you hit "end turn") if the following conditions are met
and not FactionIsLocal
This mean the AI is controlling the Romani (the local faction is always the one you play)
and I_CompareCounter Romanii_Reform = 1
This just means that the polybian reforms have already taken place
and I_NumberOfSettlements seleucid > 20
The AI romani has to control at least 21 settlements. To change the settlement requirement just replace the "20" with the number of settlements you wish. The higher the number the more unlikely the AI will manage to have te reform. I would however not recommend to set it too low since the AI needs to meet the same requirements as the player to get the Polybian reforms. So setting the number to (for example) 5 would be below the requirements of the Polybian reforms. This will mess up the script! I would recommend to set the settlement number not below at least 15.
But if you change the percentage chance (see below) you can also leave the "20" untouched. It's up to you.
if RandomPercent < 6
If conditions are met, a random number between 1 and 100 is generated. If the number is below 6, the reforms happen at the begin of the next AI Romani turn. Once again, you can change this easily by replacing the 6 with for example 100 to make sure the reform happens in any case if the AI has had Polybian reforms and controls the required number of settlements.
set_counter Romanii_Reform 2
terminate_monitor
end_if
end_monitor
The last three lines just make sure that the check is finished so that it can start again every turn until the reform happens or you end the game.
Important: before ever editing any of the game files make sure you have a backup of the file!
And don't open the files with editor (this sometimes doesn't work). Use WordPad or Word (or the adequate OpenOffice application).
That's the situation at the end of Lusitanian war.
Aedui and Sweboz are desperately trying to take Massilia and Aventicos respectively, but without any success.
Getae and Epiros are fighting each other and aren't moving anywhere although Getae appear to have the upper hand.
KH are locked by me in Greece, but they still get and lose a town by rebellion here and there on AS territory.
Hai are fighting the Sauros with unclear result.
Bactria are besieging the last town of Pahlava.
The AS is a monster, they rule undisputed in the East and now invaded Egypt. They seem to have trouble holding on some Asia Minor settlements, but they reconquer them without problem because there's no one who can pose any military challenge to them. Maks are dead and Pontos are dead.
Carthage has eaten up all of available rebel territory and it'll be interesting to see where will they go now - invade Iberia or move eastwards to finish off already stretched Ptolies.
This is the most northerly expansion of the Saba I've ever seen (it's 239 BC). I didn't help them in any possible way, I didn't even have contact with them so far. They managed it on their own.

VH/VH. I usually play on M/M but I thought this would be a nice change of pace. I was doing OK until I blew two field battles against the Pahlava which cost me both my eastern armies, after which I sent one of my western armies to go save Persia. The Ptolemies then bribed my remaining western army and left me with 1 army with which to defend some 20 odd provinces. And then the KH and Hayasdan attacked. I fought (and lost) five city sieges in a single turn at one point.
I've been holding the Pahlava and Ptolemies off for a while now by abusing the rivers at Seleukeia, but my economy's collapsed and I can't afford to retrain any of my soldiers so I am thinking of destroying all my buildings in order to finance a boat with which I can try to escape to India.

Will do, but I have to remember where I backed up the default EDU&EDB because I've changed them for my current Baktrian campaign.
This is the most northerly expansion of the Saba I've ever seen (it's 239 BC). I didn't help them in any possible way, I didn't even have contact with them so far. They managed it on their own.
Same here, although with me they've also managed to take the southern settlements and make progress against the Ptollies there. But, seeing as I was the AS, the Ptollies might've been too focused on me.

My current campaign, Baktria 241BC (it's been more or less tough). https://img132.imageshack.us/img132/...bakt241zo5.jpg
Everything seems to be going in completely random ways, but as a general rule, as this is the third campaign, I'm almost sure that the AI actualy handles diplomacy pretty well if it doesn't involve the player-controlled faction. It does not have any random moves like before, but instead tries immediately to ally itself with its enemy's enemy, etc.
I'm being defensive and chasing enemies away from cities with my MG42 teamsPersian archers.
The AS won Antiocheia back and captured Sidon, but hasn't made any further progress, instead preferring to concentrate on Pahlava (and me). The Ptolemaioi, as you see, have noticed that Carthage was currently in a state of suck (seriously, it's the second campaign where they can't even take rebel cities in Sicily) and have begun a major offensive there.
Romans seem to be crushing the gauls, but things are quite mixed up around there.
The best thing ever happened in Greece though. KH, through wars and persuasion, managed to get Makedonia, Epeiros AND Pontos as Protectorates!

I finally kicked Epiros out of there homeland, but they established a nice south-italien kingdom.
I once saw a game when I was playing as the Maks, kicked Epeiros out of Italy, and the Epeirotes suddenly went into Overdrive, and conquered all of sudden Italy, and almost took Rome. SPQR then counterattacked, as did the Epeirotes, and the resulting stalemate left SPQR with all of Italy West of the Appenines, and Epeiros had all of Italy East of the Appenines. Italy was split straight down the middle :beam:

It was too cool for me to attack. Instead, I got attacked by the Grey Fog and was smothered by waves of Pants.
The Pahlava and Saba are dividing the eastern reaches of the Ptolemaic empire between them.
The Romani failed on Euboea, lost the Baleares and Sardim to the Karthadastim and several provinces to the Aedui, but made a foray into Iberia.
The Averni lost Gergovia to the Aedui and have almost no military remaining, apart from two stranded stacks of remnant Averno-Galatians at the Bosporus.
The Lusotannan awoke from their slumber and are besieging Gader.
Both Baktria and the Sauromatae are now protectorates to the Saka, who have been the richest faction more often than not.

I've been hoping for the last 70 years that Lusotannan would attack me, but they haven't done so far.
Looks like I'll have to start a war myself if I want to expand more.

Re: 1.x AI Faction Progression Thread
It does that all the time in my campaigns. They captured Asia Minor all by themselves. They are in the Levant because I pillaged the Ptolemaic holdings because they were becoming too much a threat to the Seleucids and Pahlava.
Apart from that I only helped the KH (moved them from Euboea which Epeiros took to Byzantion), the Arverni (gave them that province while pushing the Sweboz back over the Alps and Casse, by giving them one Belgian province I took from the Sweboz.
Well this is my Aedui campaign on VH/M ... It's preety interesting... The Arverni don't dare to attack me because they would face war with Lusotana, who is my ally and the arverni are under their protectorate... I had a long war with them, but i never tried to exterminate them... On the West the Germano-Roman alliance keeps giving me headaches, but i'm managing to stop them with no problem, and now the time of soldiers has come, to help me. I tried to play as historicaly as possible, not conquering any settlements unless i really needed them for money. I conquered the belgae and helvetti cities only fot them to be buffer states. I also conquered lemonum a few years ago, becouse of the chariots, but it seems i will not be able to use them now since the reforms have come.
Seleucia was destroyed a year ago, while the romans seem to be in trouble with carthage slowly making stronghold in south italy.
It's really a very interesting campaign... I struggled for money till few years ago, when i decided i had to conquer a few more provinces in order to stop the arverno-romano-germanic attacks. Thankfully my long term allies of Lusotanna are helping me now.
The most interesting part was a Koinon Hellenon kingdom in southern gaul. Since massalia rebelled to them, they've managed to conquer Tolosa and Emporion as well and they had become a powerfull regional power. Unfortunatly they were destroyed by rebelions ( tolosa rebelled to me) and lusottana.
Carthage was kicked out of the Iberian pennisula a few years ago and are now involved in a on/off war with the romans for Corscia and Sardinia.
The KH was sitting cooped up in greece untill about 30 years ago when Messana revolted to them, they conquered the rest of sicilly pretty quickly after that. They are now happly shipping troops to there building up for a invasion of italy.
After a intial rush the Pahlava have been making a slow steady push into the Seleukid lands.
Baktria has form a lovley indogreek kingdom and been at war with the saka for ages but neither seem to be getting anywhere.
Eprios is starting to recover from my devastating invasion of hellas that wiped out the maks and left them nearly dead by capturing segestica from the aedui.
As for the others the Gauls are fighting each other and Rome, the Sweboz are trying to capture the central european cities without much luck, the Hay and the Sauromatae are fighting it out on the steppes with the sauro only still in the fight due to repeated rebellions and the getae are busy building a nice balkan empire.
A few years after this pic was taken the ptolemies started a war with me, me and my saba alllies have driven the back into egypt and i'm just about to assault alexandreia.:egypt:
my Romani campaign.
The first faction that died were the ptolemaioi. Then Hayasdan and The Maks were killed. All by AS. And I finished Lusotana and Eiperos.
I was allieds with AS but then they took Byzantium and started pouring full stacks of phalanxes and other elites into my lands. But I had no problem holding them of thanks to the Rhomompodoroi (it's writen something like that I think) that I used as flanking troops. Then a few years ago AS came to beg for peace. We had a few years of peace but then I bribed a city that revolted from AS to Eleutheroi, you can see it in the East between Pahlava, Bactria and AS. They immediately started besieging the city but I was capable of keeping it.
Now again every turn they assault me with a couple of full stacks. it get's a bit boring. I'm waiting for the Marian reforms. I have 4 possible reformers but they didn't become consul yet, it's a bit early so maybe it's for the best. One is already 40, then two around 35 and one is 25 I believe. So there are still 80 turns of fighting full stack AS armies before the reforms can kick in.:skull:

Okay, so I'm playing the Sweboz, H/M. It's just 245BC and I recently got around to capturing Iuvavoaeta and Eburonum. (God, I hate those scripted defenders.)
I initially thought they used troops from Petra when it went over to them but on further inspection their faction leader was hanging around with a small army and must have been able to catch the Ptolemaoi off guard, they nearly took Paratonion as well but at Ptolemaoi stack turned up and ruined their day.

Epeiros: looks like its fighting viciously with Makedon, they just got the 2 southern Italia provinces because of me.
Getai: Sexy lil empire it looks like
Asia minor in general: Seleukia looks to have fallen, with every dick with an army taking some of it, Pahavla didn't do so well though. Looks like the KH have a few City states going for them. (Including Sinope if you didn't notice)

Pahlava have now full conquered the persian gulf and are heading toward india, they are allied with the Ptolemaioi and have Baktria as a protectorate.
Baktria has lost Baktra to the Saka and have now become a indo-greek kingdom, which is nice.
Also notice the Pontic expansion in the crimea, with the pounding their reciving from the Ptolemaioi I'm hoping they'll form their own version of the bosphorian kingdom once they lose anatolia.
Apart from that not much else to report, captured Ak-Ink and gave it to the getai (the first time i've done that in this game as i like to leave the factions to do their own thing).

The long war in Asia is complicated and the campaing in Hispania has just started. The situation in Asia Minor is hard too, with Makedonians, Pontos, Hayasdan and some well defended Ptolemaioi cities. But Mesopotamia is open.
Suevi are allies too but I have already fortified the Rhin front hehe.

I think It was the Seleucid fault hehe, they were destroyed really too fast by Ptolemei in the first decades. And well the Ptolomei became weak since they are fighting me in a long war, so Pahalava had "free field".

Hai H/N bi.exe (just exe, no formations) with gold and silver modded to 4 and 2 respectively.
Early on Pontos took Mazaka and Ptolemaioi too Antioch, but AS took them back plus Tarsus and Side. AS and Ptolemaioi then declared peace and have remained that way since about 250bc.
From 240 to 230 AS and Pahlava have had a sort of armed truce, at war but not attacking each other.
Saka beat up Baktria early on, but didn't follow up their victories, although Baktria's recover by their insistance on repeatedly attacking the Saka rather than going for India.
Arverni and KH expansion quite interesting, although now that the Romani have taken Sicilia I'm not sure I fancy their chances.
Sauromatae took Kabalaka and Phraapsa early on, but the latter rebelled to me almost immediately.

Looks Makedon.
Also, is that Seleukia in Kyrene?

Yep, Makedon in Rhodos. Kyrene rebelled from KartHadast to Selukid. Krete is still Elutheroi despite having large stacks of both Makedon and KH wandering the island for years (without attacking each other).
