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.

[General Appo]

Wow, that´s one heck of a war you got going there. Just 8 factions left after just 70 years. I wonder what will have happened after another 70 years.

[QuintusSertorius]

Totally augmented and tinkered with through lots of Force Diplomacy, console-added (and depleted) money and selective wars in defense of certain factions, but this is my H/M Romani game in 172BC:

Heh it's been a busy 20 years. I put the save up in the 1.1 game saves thread.

170 BC


160 BC


Casse: Nothing new

Averni: Dead

Aedui: Super Dead

Lusitannan: I still don't know how they did that. I've been looking at their armies, they are stacks of celtic and iberian levy troops, and that's it.

Sweboz: Welp, they fell fast didn't they?

Getai: Still Rome's bitch

Romans: Other then their first few attacks with decent armies, they are been strangly unagressive in our war. Took Rome and Capua from them on a whim after taking the islands.

Epeiros: A green Getai

Macedon: The last of the Greek Nations,*Epeiros doesn't count* annoying me with their full stack after stack of thracian, greek,and illyrian coastal levies, so I finished them off. No more pikemen to slaughter, huzza!

Carthage: Sent a few more, actually decent armies with elite and heavy troops, before stopping for most of 170-160. Took their island holdings from them.

Hai: Has continued their foreign policy of "Don't piss off your superpower neighbor that surrounds you on 3 sides" and live for it.

Sarmatians: Wasn't planning on attacking them, but when my war with the Romans broke out, they sided with the Romans. So I went and united my eastern Scythian brothers under my banner.

These last few years have been pretty meh. Both the roman and macedonians didn't give me too much resistance. In the winter of 160, the Romans offered a ceasefire but asked for 92k. I offered them 92k, Capua back, map info, and threatened to attack if they didn't become my protectorate. Funny enough they accepted. So I'm sending my Indian and my Greek army to take Africa from Carthage while my Nomad one watched the Roman boarder in Dacia. I don't know if I'm happy or sad that the Romans took up to Denmark, meaning the Iberians don't have a chance to go any further east. I'll find out when I take the rest of Europe and meet them in Gaul I guess then.
