Correct fluvius. The Hai are the 5th most powerful faction. Interestingly though the Getai are in spot 5 when only looking at military power. Could be interesting, currently they are at peace with everyone (and a protectorate of the epirotes).
Will keep up with more news if anything interesting happens.

Not a lot to say here other than 'Bye Hai'.
This was a simultaneous double attack. They have also taken almost all of Egypt and the Makedones have been wiped out.
On my front I have triggered the marian reforms (by a slight edit to remove the minimum year limit). I consider having a large number of latifundae and the right general and a sufficient number of territories all that should be required. On a sad note I badly bungled a sally and had this very same general killed not 3 turns after he triggered them. Up north Britain is mine and the last Irish town is under seige. This will be the limit of my rushed expansion for the forseeable future. This game was meant to be slow and gentle but I had to speed things up in order to have the marians before the AS attacked me.
Let me know if you guys are still interested in hearing how this goes. If there is no interest I'll stop I'll stop bumping my thread with new pics and just play by myself more. I'll also upload the save one day. Perhaps.
Please continue, I am sure I am not the only one who likes this mini-AAR a lot!~D
Man that Grey death is sick, Saba got massacred I see, soon it will wipe the Qarthies, Hay and Epeirotes off the face of the earth. Play it!
I see the Suebi are still doing fine. Even if you lose the inevetable war, keep fighting on, even if you get kicked back to Ireland, keep on fighting!
Would be funny to see an AAR where the AI conquers the world!~D Or where you epically destroy the Grey Goliath/Alexandros' united empire!
EDIT: If the AI wipes out the Hai and takes Kyrene, they fulfill the AS victory conditions! OMG!
~Fluvius
Carthage was destined to lose that battle over Egypt. All they can recruit there are Hellenic levies and Machimoi. AS has great recruitment options however.
Keep this up! I love to see powerful Seleukid Empires! Maybe you can snoop around with some spies to check on their army compositions. I'm interested though guessing lots and lots of Argryaspides.
@Fluvius, Well, never consiered it a mini AAR. It kinda turned out that way a bit.
As for the suebi....its hard to see but that is the Aedui in germany. The Germans have one territory right next to me, the continent part of denmark and the town just north of the Boii rebels. They are also losing badly, all their fullstacks are now minimal garrisons. Pure luck has kept them alive.
As for victory conditions, bugger. Does the game continue after I lose?
@BBSir Robin: yeah, I'd have hoped that carthage could have won some more land but they sent most of their stacks down to Meroe. Then the AS stomped them and cut them off. I've been playing the last 20 turns with no fog of war so I can watch the AI. Doesn't mean anything since I have ceased expanding for the tiome being. If the uber Ptolemy MIC's weren't around I doubt the AS conquest would have been so fast though.
I dont think youve got much time, epirus may be your last hope as a buffer. If i were you id strike egypt and Anatolia right nwo
Nope, this whole game was going to be my attempt at nice measured roleplaying. And I didn't even get out of Italy until it was time for my Polybian reforms. But then I was forced to grow and trigger my early modded Marians. I'm going to build up and let them keep expanding for now. I am not worried about losing but the AS is my ally for the time being so I can't really justify declaring war. We will see how things go in a few more decades.
Going to keep playing for now. Will post more screenies if anything else interesting happens.
