Looks Makedon.

Also, is that Seleukia in Kyrene?

[Ravenfeeder]

Yep, Makedon in Rhodos. Kyrene rebelled from KartHadast to Selukid. Krete is still Elutheroi despite having large stacks of both Makedon and KH wandering the island for years (without attacking each other).

Romanoi 245 BC, normally would wait for 200ish before I posted a map but the eastern faction expansion is quite interesting.

Not to mention the Greek Triumvirate in Greece (and extending in to Asia Minor)

[Ravenfeeder]

It's nice that AS and Ptolemaioi are both still along old borders (apart from Tarsus). Are they still at war?

[Rilder]

As far as I know, haven't been paying much attention.

Epeiros is on the move north though, The Getai have been pushed north east, but Makedonia is on the move north too, Ambrakia got taken.

The marian reforms have happened! Now it's time to take Spain and after that, time to start the Mithridatic Wars!

217 BC, my Macedonian campaign

Lusos are ready to kick Quart-hadasht out of Iberia (as usual).
Aedui are creating an impressive western empire.
Romans are strangely quite. They are stuck in the war with Epiros, although they should have kicked them out of Italy long time ago. Even more strange is that they went north-east instead of northe west and appear to be stuck fighting huge multi-chevroned rebel armies, giving Aedui a chance to grow stronger. The future doesn't look bright for them at all.
Getae are trying to get their homeland back from me, but without any success.
Pahlava are fighting Bactria and AS and appear to be stuck.
AS are driven deep into Asia by my glorious phalanxes. They've even stopped trying to attack me and are doing something else elsewhere.
Bactria were on the receiving end of some heavy beating from Saka and now are fighting Saka, AS and Pahlava.
Saba are doing better than usual, but it's most likely because I've dealt with the Grey Death and the Yellow death.
Ptolies are fighting me. They've lost Syria and Judea. Soon they'll lose Palmira and the naval expedition to Alexandria in it's final stages of preparation.

Romanoi 245

Update:

238 BC, A tenuous peace dawns upon the Res Republica, in 240ish, with the Carthaginian fleet broken and the Roman fleet getting stronger every day Kart-Hadast abandons trying to Reclaim Corsica, ending the Punic war, this brings about the first peace in many years, in Cisalpine Gaul, the Aedui Confederacy make several attempts to take Segesta but fail and lose one of there best generals in a Pyhrric victory. (haha I lost a bridge defense) They soon agree to peace and turn back attention to removing the Averni Threat.

Greece:

Epeiros meets setbacks against Makedon and Pontos, losing Byzantion and Ambrakia, in response it signs an alliance with the Illyrian tribes at sword point and begins pushing north into Dacia in an attempt to gain more troops and profit from the north for its war against the Other Greek Nations.

In the north the Getai are driven north by the Epeirots and march against the Saurmotae, driving as far as Bosporion

Makedon holds her lines tight and even makes ground against Epeiros, but looses Rhodios.

The Koinon Hellenon also hold strong, and push against Makedon Phalanx and regains Rhodios, but the Ptolemaioi exploit the instability in the region and marches on Rhodios.

Pontos Drives west, marching against Epeiros and taking Byzantion.

In the East, Pahlava unites Bactria and the Hai against Seleukeia, The Anti-Seleukid pact drives forward as Babylon and Seleukeia falls.

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

Res Publica, public matter.

[Rilder]

I was elected to lead not to read >_>

Res Republica sounds better though, but look at the map not the text :p

238BC

Update:

220BC

West to east:

In the Far west the Lusotannon battle fiercely with Kart-Hadast colonies, Though neither make much headway, probably because of the Romani's domination of the Seas

Emporion is attempted to be brought under Iberian Rule, but fail and the colony signs on with Sparta.

In Gaul an apparent change in leadership brings new wind to the Struggling Averni who go on the Offensive, even making incursions on Roman soil.

Casse fights the various tribes in Briton without success.

Roma fights feircly with Kart-Hadast across the waves, on land not much Expansion. Besides Mediolanium.


Massive Wars are fought in Greece, Makedon marches on the Koinon Hellenon, leaving only Sparte Free. Pontos Marches north against Epeiros and divides the land, Epeiros takes Byzantion, cutting off Pella from the Pontos homelands.

The Getai move west against the Independent tribes, but looses her Bosphorian Holdings.

In Asia Minor the Makedons push east ward, while Seleukia fights for her survival, every battle a seemingly last stand.

The Ptolmies move north Splitting the already fractured Seleukia in half.

The Hai push north in her campaigns against the Sauromatae.

Bactria, no longer needing Pahlava in its war against Seleukia, abandons the Anti-Seleukid pact, and together with the Saka Rauka, decimate the Near-Empire Pahlava, leaving it a position rapidly approaching the position the Remaining Seleukids are in.

[Rilder]

Update:

220BC

2 Years later, Bactria still continues her brutal massacre of the Pahlava, Makedon makes war on the Ptolmies,(pushing east) and Epeiros, Sparte is taken leaving the KH with Emporion and 1 family member stuck in Illyria.

Kart-Hadast marches against the Lusostannon, being unable to get troops to Corisca.

Pontos marches east from pella to reunite her lands.

The Averni attempted invasion is met by the Consular legion, it is also cut off from being able to get home by the 4th Legion, The Averni toops starving they march against the legion over a stone bridge, pushing through the roman lines with fierce desperation and rage, the legions tribune at some point attempts to flank the attackers but is merciously cut down with the rest of the Roman Calvary. Spurius Cornerius Blasio, the legate is forced to retreat and marches the survivors back to Rome.


EDIT:

215BC, Epeiros is no longer a threat to anybody, Makedon and Pontos kicked them out of greece and Illyria.

Pahlava is now even smaller then the 2 province Seleukids, its not being sieged yet but One strong Bactrian Army could end them. Bactria making war with Saba too.

Greece and Asia minor are Divided in half by Makedon and Pontos, right now their friends but if they break into war it could be an epic fight.
