    You appear to have stabilized Aegean powers well enough, but it looks like the Ptolemies have captured Antioch which does not bode well for the AS, or you for that matter...

    True enough, I may have to start transporting AS stacks from the east to try and win Syria back. Especially since I'm just about to take Sardis and it's rich mines off them.

    Perhaps it's the right time for me to snatch Cyprus, and all the vast wealth that brings to Egypt.

    What I usually do when Rome heads north to early is use FD and move_character on a diplomat to gift the provinces to either the Adeui, Averni, or the Casse.

    Why aren't the Arverni ever moving in my games? They seem to lose Viennos around 255 and then stagnate.

    252BC in my Pergamon game (note I'm now purple, not green):



    I recently "helped" the Romans take Alalia and Messana, courtesy of Force Diplomacy and a raid with move_character. Hoping that'll pull them into Sicily rather than keep trying to take Gaul.

    Hai are doing little, Pontos the same. Both have tried a few times to take rebel settlements near them, then given up. Makedonia are getting pasted in Greece, just lost Chalkis. I bribed a Greek army to join me, which should hopefully weaken them a bit.

    Taking Kypros seems to have weakened the Ptolemies a little, but they're still broadly holding in Syria.

    Otherwise everyone's progress is nice and slow, courtesy of all the money I'm pumping into the Eleutheroi, plus selective spawning of units in their garrisons.

    Arche Seleukeia 63BC:


    I have to note that I haven't done much after 100 BC. I'm at war with Carthage. Saka, Sauromatae and Saba are too weak to attack me. Getai, Sweboz and Epeiros are protectorates of Rome.
    I just keep that campaign in case I want to fight some marian legions.

    Baktria 174BC:



    Note the Lusotanni and Carthage. I've played this campaign in a rather defensive manner since I always loose interest in Baktria after expanding too far westward. Exactly this is what happend shortly after I took the pic...
    The Lusotanni have gone totally amok in this one. They have even taken Korsika from Carthage but lost it due to rebellion. Later on they destroyed Sweboz and pushed Epeiros back into Greece. AS is also still very active, they destroyed Pontos and Makedonia shortly after this pic was taken. BTW, Makedonia had conquered Krete after being reduced to Mytilene and Pergamon.

    PS: both campaigns are VH/M, EB 1.1 on RTW.exe

    252BC

    Same campaign:

    242BC:




    232BC:



    The Hai are constantly trying to take Aghvan, while they "civilized" Uspe.
    The Getai are my allies and act as my buffer against the Sarmatians, constantly warring them since ever.
    The Sarmatians have an incredibly strong HA-army in Bastarnolandam. Early in the game they took the Crimea. I had an army underway to "liberate" the Hellenes there, but decided I needed the soldiers more in Pontos instead.
    I wiped Pontos out cause they were simply in the way.
    The AS betrayed me and decided to make peace with the Ptolemaioi instead, after I bought Nikaia, Sardeis and at last Ankyra from them. They are on the offense against the Parthians.
    The Ptolemaioi have control of all of Syria and Babylonia except Antiocheia.
    Baktria is under constant pressure.
    The Carthaginians finally got it going, the Lusos are almost destroyed.
    Arverni are allied to Rome and I must say they impress me the most of all AI-factions in my game.
    The Romans are constantly warring the Aedui and I must take care that they do not pour into Gaul and build the famous Roman bloodknot. They just conquered Messana and the Punic war started. I hope for action.

    My Koinon Hellenon Campaign.

    237BC.

    Nothing too exciting except for

    EPEIROTS IN ROME.

    They must of got off there asses after I pretty much threw them out of the greek peninsula and beat rome to hell.

    Its amazing how good there doing since they have like 3 full stacks just buggering about in north Illyria.

    Also Apparently a Bosphorian province rebelled to me, the Saurmotte (I can't spell there name) are sieging it though so I'm just gonna let them have it.

    Also is it just me or is the Bactrian Empire starting to look like the head of a cow?

    Rilder, don't be too exited about Epeiros' performance in your campaign


    Hayasdan, 225 BC.
    (not the same campaign as the one I posted a few pages back, started a new one on 1.1)



    Epeiros destroyed the Romani in 258BC

    At first my Hayasdan empire expanded really fast, but I'm now facing strong opposition on all sides
    The Ptolemaioi aren't a threat anymore, but the Saba have several full stacks in the area, and keep besieging Petra & Damaskos.
    The Arche Seleukeia is slowly making a comeback in the east, while the Macedonians recently declared war on me in the west.
    In the north the Sauromatae are becoming more aggressive, but nothing too serious so far. I lost Uspe, and they besieged Kotais several times with small armies.

    Iberia: It was all Luso, but then the Carthies steamrolled the country and brought troops like elite phalangitai to Iberia, brought the Lusitani to the verge of extinction, but these turned the tide again and now there's only one Carthaginian stronghold in the central area left besides the coast.

    Eastern Europe: The Getai are the perfect buffer between me and the Sarmatae. Especially since the Greek of the Crimea "begged me for help" against the nomads. They don't make attempts to retake the region, I guess it's because of their constant feud with the Getai and Hay.

    Greater Iran: The Seleukides are slowly expanding eastward while losing ground in the west. Baktria is slowly conquering former satrapies.

    Italy and Gaul: A political masterpiece of me. The Romans had attacked me in Dalminion after having made their way through Gallia Omnia unto the very Oceanus. I conquered Segestica from them, and levied an allied army, consisting of Greeks from the South, Celts and Thracians from my allies in the north, declared a crusade for the liberation of Gaul from the Romans, and sent them to northern Italy where they occupied the towns of Cisalpine Gaul. I gave them to the Arverni who were on their road to winning the civil war. I gave Arretium to the Getai which were allied to the Romans (they were my allies previously), and two turns later it rebelled and the beautiful alliance between the two is a victim of my sabotage... Now the Getai are my allies again. However, my allied army got slowly annihilated, and so I withdraw. The Arverni than made peace with the Aedui and attacked their old ally Rome! They took two settlements, and even the Aedui took Bratosporios, but the Romans are tough cookies, they made their way back, even besieging Rhegion, after the Carthaginians were close to making their way through Italy for a short time. It seems that I have to annihilate the Romans rather sooner than later. The only problem is I don't want to get into confrontation with Carthage because I don't want a Kyrenaian sand war...
