1.x AI Faction Progression Thread

[XSamatan]

An AS-Campaign is not easy, but you can't compare that to something like Hayasdan or Parthya, the difficulty is that you have from beginning on at least two fronts, against the Parhians in the east and against the Ptolemaio to the west and south. If the Hay and Baktrix attack you too, it will be your nightmare.

In my campaign (s. below) I have the luck that I have only two enemies, Parthia and Ptolemaio, so I can concentrate my troops.




UPDATE from my AS campaing 270BC


Europe:
Carthies&Lusos: typicall prgression so far, nothing extraordinary
Aedui&Arverni: many small battles between them, but no winner in sight
sweboz:normal expansion
romans: Whoa, they are blitzing through Italy and already have massalia and north dalmatia
Maks&KH&Getia&Epirus: cool Epirote expansion, but nothing far
Sauros:on their way to a local superpower
:took their kilikian holdings, captured Sidon and Hierosolyma, last turn I took Salamis from them, some fierce and large battles around Hierosolyma
Hay&saka: nothing to see, some saka armies wandering around my exklave, but no attacks
baktrix:damn, they will take the northest indian town the next turns, strong armies, and I have onlx levies in the east
parthia:currently sieging their last city, it will fall the next turn, bye bye, then I will reorganise the east, get a real army against baktria on the move, against saka I will remain in the defense as long I am not abel to recruit good HA

I had some serious trouble with spawning rebel armie, wha attacked my nearly undefended cities in the heartland of my empire, lost two cities and had to recapture them only with levy spearmen.

Treasery is always low, I make around 7-8000 bonus every turn, enough to build up my economy and recruit levy phalangites but not enough to build a miliary recruit centre in the east to begin with my expansion.

Next goals I want to achive is that I plan to raze Alexandria to weaken the Ptolemaio, attac kthe Hai and build up the defense in the east.

My young heir is at the moment in Asia minor, he will capture city after city, maybe i have to attack Byzantium, to get a good stand at my left flank.

I'm truly sorry for all of you who read this text, my english is not that good,


So long,
