Actually the map is wrong fortunately, I guess it was only in an older version of EB. In 1.1 you "only" need to restore the old Achameneaid Empire (except for Egypt), which means Iran, Mesopotamia, Syria, Anatolia and the Indus area :book2:
Romani H/M
Another campaign I started last year then picked up again recently. 100% of my Romani campaigns have fatal ctd. this was no different. But I finally managed to get teh entire Mediterranean.
Gave 1 million to Pontos, Hayasdan, Pahlava & Bactria. Odd, 2 turns after giving Pahlava 1 million, I was the richest faction at 200k.

Attachment 6390
The year is 232BCE. All is going well. My allies, the Aedui, Sweboz, Casse, and Ptolemaioi, are all proving themselves to be trustworthy allies. Rome however, betrayed us early on and have been a constant thorn in our side, constantly assaulting Alalia, Numantia, and Messana. Their efforts however are weak and easily rebuffed. We will deal with them in time but for now, our concerns lie elsewhere.
Iberia has been mostly conquered with little resistance. We tried to spare the Lusitanians annihilation by allowing them the honor of becoming my protectorates. Despite our generosity they betrayed our trust twice and were put down.
Elsewhere in the world, the Arche Seleukeia has for the most part maintained its alliances in the North but is fighting a war on three fronts as Pahlava, Koinon Hellenon and the Ptolemaioi have all been attacking its borders, like wolves biting at the heals of an ox. Most of the fighting has been restrained to the island of Salamis. The ownership of which chances every couple of years.
In the greek homeland things have been rather active. The Getai, not but ten years ago had nearly the entire peninsula to itself, having pushed back the Makedonians to asia minor, and reducing Konion Hellenon and Epirus to just a territory or two apiece. But like a tide that waxes and wanes, the combined forces of the greek states have pushed them back considerably.
We must be sure too keep our eyes on these foreign affairs. As power comes and goes, we never know who our next enemy will be.
Any idea why there is a fatal ctd? Has me a little worried as I'm playing as the Romans at the moment and don't want that to happen.Quote:

As soon as Iberia had been successfully taken the winds of fate began to change.
Rome continues it's relentless assault. Endlessly attacking Emporion, Alalia and Karali. They managed to take the city of Messana, despite a heroic effort by the garrison stationed there. Years of easy victories against halfhearted assaults lead our commanders to underestimate the strength of this new roman army. A force of whatever troops were available has been hastily thrown together to retake the city. If we can coax them into open battle the unbeatable force of our generals cavalry will surly crush them.
But the Roman scum is not our only threat at the moment. The Greek city of Syrakousai, long disgruntled with foreign rule has decided to revolt. This treachery has spread, as treachery often does and the city of Lixus on the opposite end of our glorious empire has also revolted. Though, unlike Syrakousai, whose dissatisfaction has been apparent for years, Lixus gave no warning and no significant force lay nearby to quell this uprising. Such treachery must be dealt with quickly before news spreads further emboldening other communities. Syrakousai and Lixus must be decimated. An example must be made to show that such ideas and actions will not be tolerated.
This however, will be easier said then done. The constant fighting has depleted our treasury and our glorious trading empire is now, for the first time ever slipping into debt. With the garrisons on our borders becoming dangerously small, our enemies on our doorstep, treachery from within, and no money, the future of Carthage is uncertain. But, the more difficult the endeavor, the more profitable. If we can manage to survive.

This is my Casse campaign after a fifty-year-long war with the Sweboz, and by the end it made me hate them so much that I never ever want to see them again.
Stupid Sweboz with your stupid fullstacks and your stupid pikemen and your stupid bodyguard that I have to completely surround to get rid of.
Nice mercenaries, though. :beam:
Also, Bactria took Babylon. Yaaaay.
Huth, those rebel fullstacks are the result of people moving into eburonum and trying to take it. The script spawns a big army to represent resistance.
Think of the brightside, this won't happen in EB2 because there is a new faction there instead of eleutheroi.

I suppose I should be thankful. If they'd expanded any further the war would have gone on a lot longer than fifty years, I feel.

Also, after this war, there'll only be one major superpower in western Europe.
So it's gonna be epic war :DQuote:

This was my Getai campaign that I started back in 2010. I've posted about it in the past twice, here and here.
These last 30 game years were spent at war with Baktria, the Carthaginians and the Greek Alliance - curiously named since they only held Italian settlements!
I could probably keep playing the campaign and go for a world conquest, but that seems to go against the spirit of the mod. I've sacked both Rome and Carthage within a year of each other (119 BC). I possess the only navy worth anything in the Mediterranean. My conquests spread from the North Sea to the Arabian Sea. And the Dacian-Thracian homeland is so secure and safe that no Daco-Thracian ever has to risk their life in war again. Why bother, when I have cities filled with Greeks, Arabs, Iranians and Celts all eager to die for their drunken Getic overlords?
And it was all done without having any of the benefits of having access to phalangites!
All in all, I'd say this a job well done! :yes:
For sure Saldunz, definitely well done. But how in heck do you win battles on VH? You sure you're not cheating or anything :-)? Don't think I'd even consider it; most I've tried was H/H as Romans and that was done more or less on a wing and a prayer. Anyway yeah, congratulations!Quote:

There's also a lot of little notes that go with this, like if the AI army is lead by a FM, you need to focus your efforts on killing him. If you have too many weak units on your side, you can fake a rout and get the AI to split up its forces to chase you, while your main units engage and terrify the fractured army one piece at a time. The only near-impossibility of VH is fighting against horse-archers without phangites. But even then, all you have to do to tip things back to your advantage is fight them on steep hills and wear them down with your archers and slingers while they get exhausted trying to reach you.
You'll lose battles, or be forced to run away more than you're used to, but I guarantee you that the first Heroic Victory you get on VH/VH will make you feel very, very heroic!
Yeah, those armored HA's and Noble Heavy Cav are really awesome. I read somewhere their armor wasn't iron or steel, but overlaid pieces of horses' hooves attached to leather. Quite ingenious. And it isn't always easy to find a steep hill when they're in the vicinity!Quote:

Hmmm. The cobwebs have gathered on this thread, gotta dust 'em off. So here's a couple thumbnails from my current Pahlava campaign, played on VH/H with BI exe and battle time limit ON. (BTW also posted at TWC, but with different commentary.)
There's a story behind the first shot. It was supposed to be a quick punitive raid on Alexandria, but nearly resulted in disaster when my troops refused to climb the siege towers. Turns out there's a bug specific to Alexandria, at least when assaulting from the eastern side. Fortunately a spy had opened the gates so it was possible to enter, although you'd expect heavy casualties from boiling oil poured on invaders passing through the gates plus wall towers firing frontwards and backwards.
Yet losses were relatively minor--15 or 20%--since the defending garrison acted lethargically (the two elite phalanxes just stumbled around without using their pikes at all), the tower guys seemed kinda sleepy, and the boiling oil fellas apparently didn't show up at all (no burn injuries far as I could tell). As I suggested at the TWC technical section in the thread "Siege towers not working" maybe it's not a bug, but a deliberate feature by the game designers to show the effects of that infamous Nile Delta parasite called schistosomiasis (bilharzia) on people who hang around that marshy, low-lying area.
Anyway after enslaving the populace I demolished just about anything trashable in Alexandria except for Alexander's Tomb (for obvious sentimental reasons) and the naval port (might need those transports later to invade the last Seleucid bastion on Cyprus), realizing about 65,000 mnai for my efforts. Plus most of the raiding force got away clean after leaving a token garrison behind to slow pursuit. Not too bad, eh?
Thanks for your kind attention and Happy Thanksgiving to Stateside EB fans!
Alexanders tomb is the first thing I destroy when I play as Parthia or Saka and reach Alexandria. Its obviously a good idea to keep it if your Hellenic faction.Quote:

I do the same when I play as Macedon or any western faction and get a chance to Sack Rome.
So it's over. Lotsa fun but I sure wish the victory conditions were clarified. The adviser, faction leader, and script all agreed Pahlava had to outlast the Hayasdan but at game's end they still had at least three cities remaining. Then again, what's life without a little mystery?:inquisitive:
Incidentally I'd like to thank the Ptolemies for wiping out the last Seleucid settlement on Cyprus, thus releasing me from the obligation.:bow: It's the least they could do after sending endless numbers of phalanx-studded stacks against me for the past quarter century!

A couple of months ago I had an Epeiros campaign. Sadly I had to wipe my PC and reinstall windows, and I lost all my game files.
Anyway, the interesting was that I encountered a KH general named Petraeus. I suppose that characters with that name appear all the time, but I had never noticed it before and it was just after that scandal in the USA.
I checked wether he had a biographer or mistress ancillary. He didn't.
Did the KH general retire in shame or something?Quote:

As I'm starting to feel the Ptolemaioi and the Seleukids breathing in my face and neck more and more, and with no other avaible options, I led an expedition towards Mleiha in the Maka province (East and North Oman). This after failing to get Gerrha revolting again. It did a few times in the past. The plan was to get revolting again, (which it was lready doing) I brought in spies and sabotaged some happiness buildings, but they didn't kick the Seleucids out anymore. Anyway it seems it is time to fight some Sabaeans, though I'm afraid one of the two hellenistic superpowers might attack when most of my forces are so far from home. And actually the Sabaean stacks look fearsome as well. Especially as there seems to be a small error in recruitment, providing the Sabaeans with cavalry archers to accompany their heavily (well to Arabian standards) armoured archer-spearmen.
which faction are you?
Looks like Nabataea (spelling likely butchered) to me.Quote:

for me since i hate the pants down position the best is probably to rush to the sabeans destroy them and build an empire in arabia aslong as the sabeans are alive you and them are pawns to be played and traded by the phaero and the archon
allinces with either numidia or kart hadast is a must particulary because you can´t appeal at the meroans or the axumites
with the archon is "easyer" to deal with there are many smaller kingdoms surrounding it wich will gladly join you in a treaty of all for one and one for all wich would close down the arche in a gridlock since they can´t be in too many places at once
the mikrA ASIA or to sum it up properly the messy asia is a plus since it allows you to play the hellenics hellenist against each other to keep them busy
depending on diplomacy
and as nabatea money is of litle use to you unlike the hellenic factions with their super heavy infantry and cavalery your units outisde of the desert/desertic areas are weak your only way to win is to harass raid and win trough atriction like the romans against hannibal cause in the field head on ... also depending on your siege warfare habilities
the way the society and economy are structered it doesn´t payoff to have a standing army so you´ll depend mostly on over expensive militias so when you go to conquer you must move swiftly since speed is your only ally before the army breaks down due to the lack of finantial power to sustain medium overpriçed troops
with this being said the free upkeep and the possible introduction of a garrison script combined with the desert bonus makes nabatea a strong faction on the defence aslong as you don´t get the full brunt of either the ptolemaioi or the seulekids
just my point of view on the viability of nabatea proper planing and hit and run tactics to tire up enemies and cross fire strategies to win both on the campaign and the batle front
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
As the Nabatu met up with the Sabaean army in the newly created desert (thanks Alin!), Almuqah's thundering hooves made it rain and thunder. But the arrows shot by the children of Al-Qaum would outnumber even the water drops. Our mighty cavalry force brought fear into the hearts of these effeminate city dwellers. Their shields and armour can't save them in the desert, nor can their petty gods or their perfume. Their riches made them soft, but they will not remain theirs for long. It's only five days travelling to the splendid city of Maryab according to our Bedouin brethren from the 'Amar tribe. There we will face the giant walls of the ancient city, behind which these cowards hide. Yes, we are not great besiegers. But how long can they last in there? The days of the palace of Salhin are numbered. Their damns will crumble and their temples burn. They will kneel before their new malek and never be worthy again to carry their knives and call themselves men. The sacred gold of the trees, treasure of the winged serpents will be ours!

Have Koinon Hellenon or their equivalent Greek faction taken Kyrenaia over there (by naval invasion)? Or did it revolt to them? They seem to have done an impressive job of taking over the islands of the central/eastern Mediterranean. Again I wonder whether they invaded or got them by revolt.Quote:

So I dug out a several years old Hayasdan savegame on H/M... I have just taken over the Seleucid heartlands, all the provinces between Tarsos and Charax. Now I have pushed the Ptolies back to Hierosolyma and they have to dealwith a carthie invasion, whereas my ally Pontos has just finished the AS in Asia minor and now apparently plans war against me.
So far, so much fun, economy is decent but I would like some peacetime, as I like some RP'ing and building up my provinces.
Can anyone explain, how do I exactly get these rather complex 'Rebuild-Persia'-reforms?
And that savegame seems to be highly unstable, extremely prone to after-battle ctds. What might this be linked to? I think, this was the reason why I had abandoned it 3 years ago. And fighting the Ptolies' stacks wice because the game crashed does not make it more fun.
(I might upload some pics tomorrow)
