1.x AI Faction Progression Thread

[General Appo]

Here is an edited map reflecting the AI expansion in my current Makedonian campaign. I haven't used FD at all yet, but I've been giving big amounts of mnai to the Eleutheroi and occasionally to the Parthians. The year is 258BC.

Faction colors aren't the real ones, but you get the idea.

Bah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Things are finaly looking better.

I have FINALY, after maybe five stacks, a stronghold in Greece. Those Macs and and Epiros were touger than I thought. :P But now things are goin better. I once held both pella and the city under it, but lost them both before I could regroup in the south and receive lots of reinforcements.




How it happened:

After conquering Italy I concentrated on Greece.

At first I was only meant to attack Epiros. So I build two armies, with heavy siege equipment and elephants, so they were quit expensive even though I had few elite units.

I attacked Epiros homeland and all was well. When both cities where taken, one army marched north against the illyrian towns (owned by epiros), the other stayed.

This is when the macs attacked and things went crazy.

It became a two way war. My army that marched north was attacked by a strong epiros army of twice the size, I lost the battle and retreated to my boats. The army that was left in Epiros was attacked by a strong Mac army. But I won the battle, and decided to march against Pella (attack is the best defence lol:P).

During the time I was shipping reinforcements to my army that lost in the north. And soon the army could continue against the epiros towns. But the epiros fought bravely and I took heavy casualties while only managing to to take one town(the one direcly north of epiros homeland). I tried to march against Pella to help my other army, but the general went sick. Slowing me alot. After many turns I got to the city NORTH of Pella, attacked it, got my general killed in the battled, but managed to take the city, only to get stuck there. My army was too small at this point to do anything.

During the time my army who marched against Pella got in trouble. I was able to conquer Pella fairly easy. But two black stacks emerged. We fought, they won, I ran south, sacked the city north of Pella, continued south, captured Athen, got stuck there too.

At this point in time I had managed to get the war machine goin, and armies where being produced everywhere. My italic cites, my Iberian towns and my African holdings, everyone contributed.

But thanks to assassinations, lost fleets and battles, bad luck and tons of enemies, it isnt until now I feel I have a chance of winning.

Most epic game ever :D
