Re: 1.x AI Faction Progression Thread
Well Olaf, you can take comfort in the fact that those smelly not-really-Sweboz half-breeds that revolted from the Sauromatae kept your faction going. They have now officially outlasted the Aedui because apparently they were *green* with envy *nyuk nyuk nyuk*. Once I deal with the Carthage Issue (as you can see, by giving their turf to the Romans) I intend to engage in the final battle against the Casse and become Lord of the Riverdan....err...Gauls. I'll eventually have to head east and tangle with the Getai, freeing my Boii cousins from Getic dominion, plus I'll have to venture into super-Eleutheroi lands for more unique units.
My spy + war campaign against the Carthies is starting to yield fruit. They had gotten thr Romans down to Arminium and were besieging it when I decided to go on the offensive. As you can see, I've taken Rome, this time for good, and have smacked their primary armies around, killing many high-experience FMs. This has allowed me to trigger a revolt in Messana and Syracuse, while the KH's abiding desire for Taras has led them to siege and conquer it. As it stands I'm hoping to get a new dynamic going with Rome vs KH vs Carthage, but I admit that will be hard to do. I also hope to be able to convince the Romans to move their capital onto Africa so i can buy their mainland stuff, then I will conquer and give them Carthie and Ptolie lands until they pass the magic 20 mark and can hopefully get the Marians.
The AS continues to fall slowly, though they hang on in Sidon and actually lost then retook Palmyra, so it seems like they are going to fight until the bitter end as they are steadily losing their more distant settlements. Hai/Pontus continues to be inconclusive, though its been the Hai pressing the assault and Pontus lifting sieges. The Getai and Epeiros are now at war and I'm rooting for the brown dudes. KH is wearing down the Maks, prolly since the Romans managed to get the March of Time off before things went to total pot for them.
On a side note, I edited the EBBS such that Pahlava will now get govparthian in appropriate territories (plus some bonus ones in Baktria and Asia Minor) when they conquer the settlements. Maybe now we'll get to see some real Parthian armies assuming they take another city, which they should. Would be nice to see those beautiful Persian hoplites in action by the AI.
