AI progression in 1.1 is much better than in 1.0.The Eastern War seems to be raging in everyone's campaign and those steppes finally count Great work EB team !!!
yes there you say something, because with me the AS is kicking the ptolemai back to their deserts and are winning against other factions to!!I did never see this before!So is it not strange?!
That sounds nice Voice. Mmmh. Isn't it too easy on Medium?
Not if you play with historical,balanced armies(no uber-all-elites)and limit the number of men you field(only a state army comprosed of a few stacks,and some regional ones).I also think it's better for roleplaying,and you don't have to fight endless stacks.So battles become more decisive,like they were in history.
I chose med for baktria because it was the first time i had chosen a far eastern faction
ive also got a h/m casse and vh/m romani in progress too
and that poll you mentioned before, i misread it for battle difficulty
Romani campaign, EB on Alex.exe, VH/H

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

242BC
The stinking gauls are history. Tired of the puke-green Arverni in 248BC, I took their two remaining cities, made a "Caivs Gallivs" out of Caivs Avrelivs Cotta. The aedui marched two full-stacked armies along our borders, Caivus Gallivus made a fort, got besieged, kicked the aeduis butts and took their two only cities. End of the Gauls. I also sent an army through Illyria and conquered Dalmininion and Segestica. I'm currenly waiting for the Polybian reforms to happen before I attack any other faction.
Makedonia and KH are constantly attacking each other, staging sieges after sieges. Makedonia eventually managed to take Korinthos back and after numerous attempts finally captured Pergamon. KH has also got two new additions, Trapz-bla-bla and Karia who both rebelled from their former masters.
AS is still incredibly strong, and are managing all of their fronts pretty well. In the east, they have retaken all of their settlements from Pahvala, which by the way is down to one besieged (by AS of course) settlement.
Saka Rauka have taken back one settlement from Baktria, and also conquered the rebel settlement separating them from the sarmatians. Battle surely awaits the steppe factions. The Sarmatians have conquered one of the Crimean cities.
On the Iberian peninsula, heavy fighting between the Lusotanni and carthaginians have taken place, with neither gaining any real upper hand. The Lusotanni captured one city from the carthaginians, which was immediatly taken back. The carthaginians have also taken Cyrene from the ptolies.

Wow, very rarely do you see an AI faction go from almost one side of the map to the other. I think two provinces (one on each side) could make them link up both sides of the map.
Damn, that´s one big Yellow Death. And yeah, just two regions to go before they´ve united the entire map. Man, I do not envy you when you have to fight them.

I don't come here a lot any more. You know why? Because you suck. That's right, I'm talking to you. Your annoying attitude, bad grammar, illogical arguments, false beliefs and pathetic attempts at humour have driven me and many other nice people from this forum. You should feel ashamed. Report here at once to recieve your punishment. Scumbag.
Its got worse.
Dont ask me what the Lusitanians are doing they just drove straight through gaul splitting it in halve. Hopefully i can take iberia and isolate them there. i have no idea what four factions in that proximity with no where to expand is going to do.
Wow, that's one of the most interesting AI expansions I ever saw!
I also see the AS managed to survive by escaping in India :P

Wow, Ptomely wants to out do alexander, just the hellas and the homeland and they have Alexanders empire and more.
I suggest you build defencive armies to defend greece from the Yellow Death.
Then take Iberia and Gaul (the four factions will attack each other).
Then you have enough money to start to fight, though if you were in a dangerous mood, you could gift some iberian provinces to the Yellow death. As it is alex they may attack anyway.
The epeirots own byzantium and the gateway to the asia minor, its all they own. i have three legions on border defence with the Getai.
Of all the epansion the only factional casualty has been pontus who stupidly fought the maks to the west of them and were caught unaware by the ptoleys to the east.
For Logistical reasons im going to need the Marian reform to deal with the juggernaught

Spooky32, any chance you could upload that save game so the rest of us can take on the Ptolemys and the full stacks of panzers that they have obviously been using.
Why did the chicken cross the road?
So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli
gah! they completed my goal for my hayasdan v1.0 campaign before I did
currently playing as Hayasdan on EB v1.0
aiming to create a Indo-spanish empire before the Arabs do (900 years later)
grrr....found out that AI caused a yelow death and did it before I did it here:

I just started a campaign (266 BC), guess which faction:
Europe detailed:
Casse heroic victory (the AI managed that???):
What?! Sauromatae in Illirya?
I must admit it took me a while to find out the "missing faction" :P
Any more details about the campaign? It seems interesting!

See the save game thread (or my sig for details).
As for the journey:
- Take the Chersonessos
- Build fleet
- Scout and bribe any armies besieging Dalminion
- Sail to Illyria
- Land
- Attack
- Set capital to Dalminion
- Use add_population 1700 to Dalminion
- Very High taxes to original cities
- Original cities revolt
- All this time using add_money, auto_win to survive
- Return to a normal scenario situation
Aren't the units kinda mismatched? I mean, couldn't you use the KH or someone with a more similar recruitment roster?
Sarmatia seems to be the perfect choice really.Originally Posted by Reverend Gonzo
1-No one cares about Sarmatia
2-Ilyria has a pretty nice roster and access to lots of mercs.
3-No one cares about Sarmatia
4-Sarmatia usually becomes stagnant and bankrupt in the homelands.
5-Illryia is cool
6-See 1 and 4
Ok, actually the Sauromatae are awesome, its just that they usually stagnate and keep pwned the Armenians.
'Oh dear' is right...
Is that the remnant of Carthage down there in Gaetulia?
A big THANKS to all Total War modders
Heed the wisdom in Omanes Alexandropolites' signature!
That´s got the be the first transglobal (or well, trans EB map) AI faction I´ve ever seen. Incredible, and it´s only 190 BC.

Knowing the AI their next targets will be india, maybe the rest of africa, and you
Ptolemy in your campaign = Alexander reborn (for the AI)
Things arent going to well in Gaul either the Averni have been wiped out by the Lusitanians and the Aedui are down to two settlements one is under sige by the Lusitanians.
There has been a bit of a revival for the Karth-Hadast some settlements have rebelled back to them but its just delaying the inevitable.
It's funny they've gone east to west across the whole map but haven't managed to hold onto Axum yet.
