1.x AI Faction Progression Thread

[Dayve]

This is 237BC. I am Casse. 1.1, playing with RTW.exe, absolutely no changes made to the EB files whatsoever. No formation mods, no nothing. This is pure EB.

I should think tough times lay ahead... I had to push the Sweboz back as they were expanding into Gaul, which served 2 purposes. I wanted to expand onto the mainland for trade purposes but i also wanted to keep the Aedui in the game. Averni have no hope, they have no troops and the Romans surround them with enough armies to conquer them 100 times over.

I'm not looking forward to fighting the Romans... When i play as them, Hastati seem crap. But even the best Casse soldiers are only just slightly better than Hastati, and Principes trump anything i can make. Don't even want to talk about Triarii and the Hastati Samniciti that the Romans are using in abundance.

It´s good to see the Romans are finally doing something in someones campaign. Nice to see that Hiero is still free.

I'm in the process of setting up client kingdoms in North Africa. I took Ambraikia from Makedon but gave it to my protectorate of Epirus. Pontos went very quickly, even with an 100k mnai influx from me. No sign of Casse invasion.

I completely love that Pahlava progression, Ravenfeeder. It is almost exactly as history had it when Mithradates began his great campaign, by carving out the very centre of Iran, that distinctive plunge right to the south once they get hold of Parthia proper and Hyrcania; Key areas such as Medea, Gabiene, Persis, Carmania... Lovely. Afterwards the detour to the East, covering the back against the Graeco-Bactrians, as far as Zariaspa... And then a storm to the West, capturing what's left of Elymaïs, and Mesopotamia. Wow. This really got me satisfied (Well, except for the Ptolemaioi... They are the odd man out for technical reasons).

Keep reporting, I live for this stuff

You're going to go mad once I show you what the Armenians did in my campaign :)

This is the second time I see Epeiros surviving as an alpine faction... I congratulate the EB-team to their stunning achievements. AI-progression seems to have made a giant leap forward since 1.0.
