Thanks. I restored some of the balance in Europe shortly after this battle, setting back the Romans and Sweboz and aiding the Aedui. The latter were pretty dead, I was just in time to save them. So no, on the maps you've seen so far, I haven't done anything except keep the Koinon Hellenon alive on the peninsula and keep Hayasdan out of the steppes.

Pergamon is Epeiros, of course, dedicated to QuintusSertorius. The main focus of the next half a dozen of updates, perhaps.

Nifty, so you'll be facing some Epeiros-as-Pergamon soon? Makes sense in a lot of ways to take them out of that already fraught contest in Greece and add some western Greek to the eastern in Anatolia.

I demanded cool photos and here they are. Cool. :smiley:

Actually, I'm just out to show you how to properly behave for a Pergamene king (read: Seleukid client ruler). :whip:

I'm sure now you're going to demand pictures of Seleukid armies marching through Wales or Scandinavia or battling Lusitanians or whatever.

Forget it.

A most impressive AAR, I've spent the last hour reading it along with QuintusSertorius "Epeiros-as-Pergamon", this is the coolest AAR on the block.

Did you use create_unit at all to give them more authentic looking armies? After all Pergamon weren't big on phalanxes or elephants. Used loads of mercs/regionals too.

So far, they haven't given me a chance to do so. Showed up with full stacks of hoplites on my doorstep only a few turns after I installed them in Pergamon.

Ha! Eager to show they won't be a pushover like your other client states. They're a proud Successor to Alexander after all!

Great update again, Swordmaster! I want to see those nasty elephantes trample the Ptolemaioi soon:evil:

Thanks, but unless the Ptolemaioi develop something resembling an army, the elephants are going to Asia Minor.

SUPER-KOOL !!! Seleucid-Maurya = EPIC !!! ^_^ ... btw those armoured pachyderms will be mighty helpful in the wild west :)

Very cool AAR, I've never even gotten to India :shame:

Anatolia it is then! Whereaver you send them, I'm sure they're going to cause SO much havoc!

great AAR! i love the battles especially - that 2.5 hour battle... wow - i would never even have ATTEMPTED that :) keep it up...

oh, and what difficulty level are you on?

Thanks! Playing on M/M to keep the AI a little sensible. On harder difficulties, it's almost impossible to leave all the factions alive - you need to destroy them if you want to have some durable peace.

Thanks everyone else for the comments, too. Stay tuned, I've had little time recently but I should produce some further updates soon enough.

Dont wanna pester, but this AAR is cool as, id love to see an update.

Gaivs, see what Swordmaster posted above.

Yeh nah thanks captain obvious, but if people dont reply at all then you think no one is interested.

Hmm, ok but maybe that means readers have patience? There are other AAR's out there worth your waiting time, you see...

Very interesting read, trully some amasing work.

Still I prefer silver colour for AS, but maybe because I got used to it.

Looking forward to the next chapter.

So little time, so many things to do! This will be continued once I clean the dust off my PC again, but it might take a little while.

I completely understand you, just take your time and we will have patience!

Swordmaster is like sex. The longer you go without it, the better it is when you get it.

Well, that's not only with sex :P

Swordmaster isn´t like sex. Sex is like Swordmaster.

When Swordmaster does Press-Ups, he doesn't push himself up, he pushes the Earth down.

Swordmaster once ate a 100oz steak in an hour, and he spent the first 45 minutes banging the waitress.

Swordmaster lost his virginity before his Dad did.

Swordmaster isn't worse than Chuck Norris in anything, but he isn't better than Chuck Norris in anything. In fact, Swordmaster IS Chuck Norris!

Would you please stop spamming this thread? :nospam:
I regularly check for an update, because it is marked for new posts and all i get are dispensable, thread-hijacking spam posts. This is so sad ~:(

We're sorry.

Incidently, what DO you keep under your helmet? Haha, sorry. but hey, it keeps this wonderfl AAR near the top, so new readers may come.

I´m really sorry for starting this spamming (though others made it a real nuisance) but now I just have to respond to this, and then, no more spamming, ever.
