232BC:



The Hai are constantly trying to take Aghvan, while they "civilized" Uspe.
The Getai are my allies and act as my buffer against the Sarmatians, constantly warring them since ever.
The Sarmatians have an incredibly strong HA-army in Bastarnolandam. Early in the game they took the Crimea. I had an army underway to "liberate" the Hellenes there, but decided I needed the soldiers more in Pontos instead.
I wiped Pontos out cause they were simply in the way.
The AS betrayed me and decided to make peace with the Ptolemaioi instead, after I bought Nikaia, Sardeis and at last Ankyra from them. They are on the offense against the Parthians.
The Ptolemaioi have control of all of Syria and Babylonia except Antiocheia.
Baktria is under constant pressure.
The Carthaginians finally got it going, the Lusos are almost destroyed.
Arverni are allied to Rome and I must say they impress me the most of all AI-factions in my game.
The Romans are constantly warring the Aedui and I must take care that they do not pour into Gaul and build the famous Roman bloodknot. They just conquered Messana and the Punic war started. I hope for action.

My Koinon Hellenon Campaign.

237BC.

Nothing too exciting except for

EPEIROTS IN ROME.

They must of got off there asses after I pretty much threw them out of the greek peninsula and beat rome to hell.

Its amazing how good there doing since they have like 3 full stacks just buggering about in north Illyria.

Also Apparently a Bosphorian province rebelled to me, the Saurmotte (I can't spell there name) are sieging it though so I'm just gonna let them have it.

Also is it just me or is the Bactrian Empire starting to look like the head of a cow?

[Dumbass]

Hah, if Baktria captures that Alexandreia_blahblah settlement, it will look like the Dairy lee cow.

Rilder, don't be too exited about Epeiros' performance in your campaign


Hayasdan, 225 BC.
(not the same campaign as the one I posted a few pages back, started a new one on 1.1)



Epeiros destroyed the Romani in 258BC

At first my Hayasdan empire expanded really fast, but I'm now facing strong opposition on all sides
The Ptolemaioi aren't a threat anymore, but the Saba have several full stacks in the area, and keep besieging Petra & Damaskos.
The Arche Seleukeia is slowly making a comeback in the east, while the Macedonians recently declared war on me in the west.
In the north the Sauromatae are becoming more aggressive, but nothing too serious so far. I lost Uspe, and they besieged Kotais several times with small armies.

Damn...

[johnhughthom]

That is some crazy Epirote expansion.

[Tyrfingr]

Bat shit crazy epirotes, and how satisfying to see the Lusotanna reduces to a brown smudge on the tip of the Iberian peninsula.

I just started a Romani campaign (VH/M), and I'm going to track the AI's progress. So, being a programmer, I made a program that when I press print screen, gets a screenshot, cuts out the map, saves it to a file, figures out the season + date, sticks that on the image, and saves it as a gif. Then I can stick them together later and make an animation out of it.

When I get further into the campaign i'll link to it.

[V.T. Marvin]

That looks very nice indeed, Chris.
You may wish to upload your program to a mirror and post a link to it somewhere on the forum (EB Unofficial Modding Projects, maybe?) for others to use it too.

[Chris_]

I will, just need to make some UI improvements, and test it for a bit, to see if any bugs turn up.

Iberia: It was all Luso, but then the Carthies steamrolled the country and brought troops like elite phalangitai to Iberia, brought the Lusitani to the verge of extinction, but these turned the tide again and now there's only one Carthaginian stronghold in the central area left besides the coast.

Eastern Europe: The Getai are the perfect buffer between me and the Sarmatae. Especially since the Greek of the Crimea "begged me for help" against the nomads. They don't make attempts to retake the region, I guess it's because of their constant feud with the Getai and Hay.

Greater Iran: The Seleukides are slowly expanding eastward while losing ground in the west. Baktria is slowly conquering former satrapies.

Italy and Gaul: A political masterpiece of me. The Romans had attacked me in Dalminion after having made their way through Gallia Omnia unto the very Oceanus. I conquered Segestica from them, and levied an allied army, consisting of Greeks from the South, Celts and Thracians from my allies in the north, declared a crusade for the liberation of Gaul from the Romans, and sent them to northern Italy where they occupied the towns of Cisalpine Gaul. I gave them to the Arverni who were on their road to winning the civil war. I gave Arretium to the Getai which were allied to the Romans (they were my allies previously), and two turns later it rebelled and the beautiful alliance between the two is a victim of my sabotage... Now the Getai are my allies again. However, my allied army got slowly annihilated, and so I withdraw. The Arverni than made peace with the Aedui and attacked their old ally Rome! They took two settlements, and even the Aedui took Bratosporios, but the Romans are tough cookies, they made their way back, even besieging Rhegion, after the Carthaginians were close to making their way through Italy for a short time. It seems that I have to annihilate the Romans rather sooner than later. The only problem is I don't want to get into confrontation with Carthage because I don't want a Kyrenaian sand war...
