By the way, Quintus, why did you give Byzantion to the Aedui?

By the way, Quintus, why did you give Byzantion to the Aedui?

I figured for the Thracian, Gallic and Gallo-Thracian tribes there, it made sense. Obviously not, given how fast it revolted.

Look what Pontos did in my current KH campaign. 233 BC



I am allied to Pontos, we never had a conflict and i did not trade regions.
Though, 10 years after the screen was taken, i threatened Pontos to attack them if they did not turn over Byzantinum and Olbia and they did (for 30.000 mnai).

I have a suggestion for you: How about you try conquering the territories of the Byzantine empire at it's height using Pontos? I always thought it would be an awesome challenge to achieve.

[Tyrfingr]

I'm going for something like that actually :)

The quest for recreating the Byzantine Empire is well under it's way, though I'm admitting that I have expanded alittle too far to the east. Just like in my previous games, the AS is incredibly strong, and the Ptolies are ridicously weak. For the moment I'm in the finishing steps of creating a Galatian Army (complete with a celtic general) to send westwards.

Cool progress. (Awfully nice how Pontos' colour is violet, reminds me of the good ol' MTW days... [and the indestructible kataphraktoi...])

And, hrmh, what era Byzantine empire you going for? Pre- or post-arab invasions?

After the arab invasions, the empire did stretch to Armenia too, under Basil II Boulgaroktonos's rule:
Two maps here.

Or do you intent to eventually follow Justinian's path with yer Pontos?
