212BC (previous update)


202BC


The last ten years have been very, very busy. In about 210BC the long anticipated World War between me and the Arche Seleucia finally broke out into full scale warfare, and unable to secure any ceasefire, I grabbed what I could and prepared for war.

Short after the last update, I defeated the Makedonians, rushing my faction leader to every battle and when I conquered their last city of Pergamon, the AS decided to challenge me.

Now, the western Anatolia is the scene of several huge battles every turn. As I have conquered a couple of AS cities, they are constantly besieging and me constantly sallying out to face them. Little by little, I gain land however.

The war against AS could have ended in disaster for me, had not the Marian Reforms kicked in summer 209BC. I held out with my Polybian armies in Anatolia, while recruiting fresh Marian armies in Italy and sent them by ship to the theatre of war. Their arrival really turned the tide, and as I'm sending two additional armies I expect to conquer all of Anatolia within the next 10 years.

In the northwest, my armies in Germany have been shipped over to Britain and is slowly eating the Casse Kingdom up from the south. The trip to Britain have not been an easy one, and the Casse are controlled by a fierce AI, much more clever than I anticipated.

Meanwhile the war between Rome and AS raged on in the east, three ambitious family members conquered all but one carthaginians settlemen in North Africa. Just recently, they have conquered their way east towards Egypt to finally get rid of the carthaginian nemesis. A dull but vigorous son is currently marching for the last carthaginian stronghold in west Africa.

In eastern Europe, the Getai was swept aside by my HA armies, now making the Sarmatians my neighbour, who is currently massing up armies along our border.

Arche Seleucia

This game has really become a powerstruggle between me and the Arche, and almost every faction is involved somehow, only the Casse is unaffected by the war, every other faction is either allied to me, or to AS.

AS is such a powerhouse, they conquered the Pahlava and is chasing the Baktrians into the mountains. They was however unexpectedly thrown out of both Egypt and India, but they have fully-stacked armies in nearby allied territory, ready to take them back. Although their expansion has slowed down, they are nowhere near exhaustion.
