Sweboz Campaign with Alex and Minimod, 1.1, 172 B.C.



First, I'd like to say that I fixed all the inaccuracies in the map (territory control, etc.) in paint, in case you notice something weird.

Sweboz - well, I bribed the middle province in India once, but later lost it to amazing Baktrian generalship ( mofo had his armored elephants walk through the men sent to distract them and they LITERALLY RAN UP THROUGH THE SIDE OF MY LINE AND KILLED 15,000 PANTODAPOI). I had conquered Sind/Patala so oh well.
I have razed all cities in France and Patavium + Mediolanium at least once. Currently moving into Iberia. I took a province from the Arverni and it rebelled to Lusotana, which you can see
The two provinces bordering the steppe rebelled to me from Sauromatae, they came with full stacks of trip gold chev, gold weapon elite inf and HA, **** was so cash!!!

Casse - I ****** with them a bit a few decades ago by razing their capital and bribing Scotland after it rebelled from them

Epirus - was smashed by KH juggernaut and had 2 provinces left that were defended by fullstacks of golden supermen and 10-star generals; that's been the situation for like 50 years or something

Ptolemaioi - after some time of fighting Carthage over Kyrene and Paratoinon, they got raped around 200 BC and only had Eritrea and Megale Oasis left. Eritrea was taken by the burgeoning Kingdom of Axum (Saba) and after some years of heroic defence by some super FMs, Megale Oasis too fell; all they have left is Kypros

Saba - lost Gerhaia Arabia to Pahlava and have Nabataia through rebellion; also, Axum
At one point, their homeland rebelled from them

Sauromatae - they were nerfed by KH and the two rebellions to me

KH - holy ****! The KH want revenge on me for overwriting their savegame!

Getai - getting slowly and periodically raped by KH

Lusotana - had an empire but lost it

Arverni - were getting screwed by Rome + Aedui so they migrated into Iberia and obliterated Lusotana's large empire; unbelievable

Aedui - they've been slaugthered by me countless times

Romani - they once had all of Southern Gaul and northern Iberia AND much of central Gaul, but they just rebelled over many years, one by one; they've been completely inactive for at least 20 years, they have like 5 fullstacks sitting near Bononia doing nothing, even though they are at war with everyone

Pontus - nothing much, took part in the recent Pergamon land grab

Hayasdan - were blitzed by Pahlava in ONE YEAR; Caucasus my ass-us

Baktria - were doing well, had Taksashila, lost Baktria to Saka in 180 BC, somehow repeating history; very good friends with Pahlava, I saw some FMs near Persepolis that had apparently been exiled or something, lol

Saka - bastards are really messing up Pahlava's groove; lost Margiana, which they had owned for 50 years, to Pahlava recently (it might not be shown on the map)

Carthage - mastered Ptolemies, took Phoenecia and had lots of parties; are currently raping Pahlava
Their Capital is Still Carthage

Pahlava - these guys were KINGS! but they took Antioch, and sometime around 175 the Carthaginians declared war on them and they suddenly went all French!. They lost Antioch, Assyria, and Babylon in short order; they also lost Aria to Saka soon after fall of Baktria and have been unable to retake it, although they just took Margiana

Makedonia - were driven out of Greece by the KH bulldozer and became Pergamon, and recently got blitzed by Seleukia and Pontus; it was really funny, they allied to Pahlava and within 2 years they lost everything; their last city, Lesbos, rebelled to Eleutheroi, guess they got what was coming to them :P

Seleukia - after desperate fighting, they lost Antioch to Pahlava; they had southern Anatolia, but got Pergamon and Kappadocia in the Pergamon land grab\


PS: In case it wasn't clear, yes the Seleukids have all of southern Anatolia, and the KH ARE in Central Europe
