I am playing as Carthage. The year is 239, I have been at war with the Romans for years and have finally been able to push them out of Italy only to be attacked by the Aeudi slowing my inevitable conquer on the two divided Roman halves remaining. The Yellow Death had been harassing me in Tripoli and with all my elite troops tide up in Italy with the new Gaul danger i can only field local units against the Yellow Death's mighty phalanxes so i began to raid his coastal cities from recently conquered Crete but with it's superior navy i have no choice but to raid territories on the edges of its empire or face disaster.
Iberians are my allies... for now, they still have a good deal of territory left to take in the north so im not too worried.
Aeudi signed a peace treaty with Roma upon my invasion of Italy giving them a free hand to expand and kick some Arveni butt. However, the Arveni quickly sign a Vassal agreement with the Aeudi. After a peace treaty with the Germans the Aeudi turn to besiege my newly taken city of Segesta a year ago.
Arveni havnt taken a single province all game and they are just barley hanging on against the Germans in the east.
Sweboz have been gaining momentum, conquering all the way to the alps in short order and commands MASSIVE stacks.
Romans are split with three territories south of Gergovia and two in Illyria. They have slowly been expanding outwards from Italy ever since i took Capua somehow.
Epieros spans from Athens in the south to far north in territory which is usually held by the Getai in all my games, not only that but since they removed KH from Greece theyve been at peace with all their neighbors even the Makedonians and Romans. They also seem to be completely forgetting about Aetolia as they have yet to even besiege it.
Macedon had a rough start but came back to retake the southern part of Greece. Now they're allied with Epieros and attempting to take Pergamon from Pontus.
KH had held Athens for years even against several armies of Macedon and Epieros but eventually fell. Not alot else going on with them except the recent rebellion in thr southern tip of Anatolia.
Getai, being too slow to seize territory before Epieros, had no choice but to expand into the steppe and had some early success but now their stacks stand mostly idle in the north for some reason.
Sauro have been getting roughed up between the Getai and the Hayasdan.
Hayasdan had been expanding north in Sauro territory reaping the rewards of the Getai-Sauro Conflict in the West and had split the Horse lords in half for a time. But upon losing Uspe in 243 it was the Hayasdan who had become split.
Pontus was a slow start but eventually it declared war on Arche and began slowly taking cities. Its now at war with Macedon but its main line of expansion still appears to be Arche in Anatolia.
Arche atlast seems to be losing in Anatolia after the combined pressure from the Yellow Death and Pontus. Its Capital is also underseige in Mesopotamia by a Yellow Death army that crossed the desert. It's armies are still in the East eventhough Pahlava is just one tiny provence away from defeat and stands no threat. It has yet another army standing around in southern Mesopotamia appearing ready to invade eastern Arabia. If only they turned towards Syria and Anatolia the Yellow Death could be put in its place.
*Sigh*
Yellow Death this Campaign went right at it, attacking me as soon as we had a border with eachother and pouring troops into Tripoli that normally conquer the southern nile and Nabataea. Strangely it still has a full stack bordering Nabataea that sits there year round and it only moves towards me when i besiege one of their cities.
Saba hasnt done much of anything i can see
Saka hasnt moved south towards Baktria in awhile instead it fights small battles against Arche forces without much territory gained on either side.
Baktria is going to make waves soon, they are on the verge of taking the Indian territories to their South and with that cash flow under their controll the saka wont stand a chance unless they make some moves soon.
Pahlava had been doing good up until a few dozen turns ago when Arche decided to send almost all its elite troops against them now they hold a small village south of the Caspian.


I was going to add a picture of the map but unfortuantly i need atleast three posts to do so :/
