Continuing Kart-Hadast Game from #467 above

All Gallic gains against the Sweboz are courtesy of yours truly who sent an entirely Gallic force (mainly Nietos and Geasatae led by a Lesser King) against them.

AS almost gone. Pontic expansion is great but they are at war with Maks and Ptolemaioi so I don't fancy their chances.

Sapmi revolted from Hai to Sweboz control. Sabyn continue to be a thorn in the Pharoh's side.

Epic expansions Ravenfeeder. Lets just hope Ptolemoi dont get to strong now.

Any Casse invasion yet?

Ravenfeeder , what did you do to get such an extraordinary AI expansion in the east?

[The Persian Cataphract]

Okay, this much has been established:

* Pahlava has a great expansion routine which appears quite faithful to historicity.

* Pontos does also seem quite capable of expanding quite well; sometimes they end up as far as the Bosphorus.

* Sauromatae, from selected reports are aptly strong.

* Hayasdan has fine expansion possibilities, but usually ends up in the northern steppes, which must be addressed.

* Baktria seems aptly down-toned; still some traces of awkward expansion into the southern parts of Greater Iran, as far as Persis, but may be capable of properly expanding into India.

* The Seleucids are literally sodomized... Some might think it's apt, but it should be a 50/50 outcome and not arbitrary. For instance they should be strong around Syria.

* Ptolemaioi. The Yellow Fever. This may be the primary cause of the downfall of AS, and historically out of the two powers, it was actually the Ptolies who got the shorter end of the stick. They are clearly over-powered.

Ideally all these factions should have some substance of reasonable proportion to them as far as the AI is concerned.
