    KH is quite popular faction I see...

    This is my old(I think I started it in January!) KH campaign I recently picked up.


    I have to add that Epeiros was my ally from the start until they backstabbed me couple turns ago. I have fought many wars against Makedonia and just recently sided with them only because I wanted them to keep Epeiros busy. So much for that idea... I should have burned Demetrias when I had the chance! Now Makedonia recruits it's Peltastai Makedonikoi and Pezhetairoi and it's a bit difficult to fight against them with ... Hoplitai Haploi!
    AS is a pain in the ***. They just keep on sending their small armies against me but then again what armies they are. Argyraspidai, Pezhetairoi and the like!! NB! Never trust AS and sack Antiocheia as soon as possible!
    And to make thing even more interesting I have to fight against Pontus too!
    And you people say that RTW AI is stupid!

Antiochus II (Theodorus) now rules in all but name - keeping the father stuck in Antiocheia, and am starting to re-assert Syrian influence (taken Damaskos and Galatia). Looking forward to progressing with this campaign
    Now at 248bc in that campaign



    Theodorus has been busy!

    Well this is what happens when you leave a huge power vacuum in the east

    Pahlava, Baktria, Hayasdan, and the Saka - Pahlava, Baktria and Hayasdan were quick to gobble up all of the former AS territories, i'm currently engaged in a guerrilla war with Hayasdan around Assyrie - they seem content to maul themselves attacking me over the bridge in the south of the province.

    Ptolemaioi - was at peace with them until the mid 260's or so when they decided to send a halfstack to besiege antiocheia, it's taken until now to push them out of anatolia completely and further south in egypt (though they could undo all my hard work in egypt quite quickly because my mostly machimoi army is fairly depleted and i'm low on cash)

    Asia Minor - Used my Galatian client king and his army to secure most of the 'spare' rebel towns, the Galatikoi during the Ptolemaioi war. The KH, in their infinite wisdom, decided to attack me on Krete, the turn after my 3/4 stack landed back in Lydia - ended up taking Sparte from the KH and RPing it as an independent allied city state to the AS.

    Hellas - Epeiros (in blue) are dominant, although the Makedones have several fullstacks maintaining the current status quo. The Makedones (my long time allies) also own Rhodos and have a stack of crap sitting around there.

    Elsewhere - The Sweboz are slowly massing stacks - as usual. My allies the Aedui are winning in Gaul and successfully holding off the Romani. The Carthies are expanding in Africa, and declaring war/ceasefiring with the Romani every other turn

    Right. I think i should shut up now

    I didn't help them.

    I have a theory regarding how they were able to take it...
    The Swezboz didn't have to deal with the Aedui/Arverni as they were too busy with themselves, my Italian armies, and the Lusotann (whom Gaul eventually fell to). They've built up a large amount of stacks that just walk around picking off random independent settlements in their path.

    Previous Update :195bc
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 


    Pontos 183bc

    Continued my invasion of egypt, hoping to take the rest of their settlements in the south and leave the western ones as a buffer state. After that i plan to raise an army in ethiopia and launch a punitive expedition against the Saba who have been attacking my cities in the Levant.
    Currently also at war with the Arche, who seem content with fighting the Pahlava (with neither getting anywhere) and have left me alone and the Sewboz who sent a stack from Gawjam Bastarnoz to attack Kallatis, my army form Chersonesos responded quickly and those silly unarmoured northmen were slaughtered by my massed Bosphorian archers. I am currently marching north to capture the city teach them a lesson.

    The only other thing of note is the Lusotann who are tearing into the Romanoi at a frightening pace. Not looking forward to confronting them.

    Good description, Mediolanicus.


    Here my first attempt at playing Makedonia (RTW exe, H/M, 232 BC):


    The Romaioi are behaving in a totally retarded way. So far I've been very lenient with them, but I'm getting angry (guess who had to trigger the March of Time reforms himself instead of having to wait for the Romaioi who were busy losing to Epeiros)...
    I've bribed Sparte (including a Spartan governor), Pantikapaion (from the Eleutheroi because I had too much money), Kallatis (the denizens were in constant upheaval against their Getai overlords, so I stepped in), Roma+Capua from Epeiros (to give them back to the Retardoi).
    Really like the black colour theme I'm the centerpiece of an obscenely powerful alliance which includes Lusotana, Qart-Hadast, Aedui, Casse, Sauromatae, Sab'yn, Pahlava and Baktria.

    Edit: I'm sorry, couldn't figure out how to make the pictures larger except by clicking at them.

    The Limes is constantly assaulted by Germani (I like these historical accuracies but It is a bit tiring play as defender siege after siege each turn )

    Aegyptus is almost subjugated. Ptolemaic Empire is divided in two pieces and it is no more a danger.

    Dacia is also almost pacified. (the area required to roman conditions, I have no interest in the rest).

    But there are still problems in Iberia, a long swap war that I think is going now in roman favour, anyway Carthago and Lussotana are defending well his territories.

    Saba is knocking in the back door also, I need a campaign to solve it.

    About the rest, I think Pahlava will be a hard enemy , fear the pink death. Also Hayasdan is hard. They both have his own empire in the East. I like this "2 worlds" perspective in the game.

    The years between 220-200 were really fun. Epeiros first chased the Romans out of Italy, only to chased out (and exterminated!) by Carthage. Other tendencies, the smelly Brown Death is at it again, with little signs of slowing down. I have had a living hell against the AS, who has been sending full stacks after stack towards my indian provinces, despite my efforts to maintain a peace. I have been trying to break AS alliances to the Ptolies, Makedones and Pontos, but with little or no effect.

    When the coffers are running low, I usually send out a fleet with an army to plunder coastal cities. All of Arabia has been visited, along with the Ptolemaioi coast and AS settlements.

    Makedonian Campaign 200 BC :
    (H/M) RTW.exe



    Makedonia (Me): Since my last update in 255 BC, I kicked Epeiros out of Italy, began a long and bloody war with the AS over Asia Minor and Syria, and pushed the Northern border up to the Danube. I think I might soon invade Italy now that Rome is so weakened.

    Lusotannan: They seemed to be going into the brown-death mode until they started a war with Carthage and lost some of their Iberian holdings.

    Aedui/Arverni: Aedui seemed to have the upper hand in Gaul, but then the Arverni came back. Now it seems like Gaul is about equally divided between Rome, Carthage, Luso's and them.

    Casse: Standard expansion

    Sweboz: Standard expansion, though I was surprised they managed to take those two heavily gaurded Alpine towns.

    Carthage: This is the strongest AI Carthage I have ever seen. Despite being kicked out of Sicily, the conquered all of their side of Africa, half of Spain, the French coastline and are now in the process of conquering Italy.

    Rome: At one point they controlled all of Italy plus most of Gaul, but have since declined due to a combination of Luso's, Aedui, Arverni, Carthage, and Epeiros. They seem to be doomed now.

    Getai: I just recently concluded a war with them, taking their territories south of the Danube. They must have tried to take that Sauromatae coastal town at least 20 times by now, but they keep constantly failing.

    KH: I have been really impressed by the KH. After Trapezous rebelled to them, they launched an invasion on the Crimea and took it! They did not take it with rebellions at all.

    Epeiros: After being kicked out of Greece, they set up a new kingdom in Sicily (with no help from me) and have been involved in an on-again, off-again war with Rome, at one point holding all of Magna Graecia plus Capua and Arpi.

    Ptolemaioi: First time I have seen them NOT go into yellow death mode.

    AS: First time I have seen them go into gray-death mode, until I took Asia Minor and Syria from them. Then they launched a semi-successful campaign against Hayasdan. They are still doing quite well in the East though.

    Saba: Standard expansion.

    Hayasdan: They seem to be interested in nothing more than conquering the Steppes, even leaving that Seleukid settlement right in the middle of their territory undisturbed.

    Sauromatae: I was surprised to see them expand all the way down the Black Sea coast. Other than that, standard expansion

    Pahlava: After being kicked out of their homeland, they went north and became a Steppe faction, switching places to some degree with the Saka. But now that India has rebelled to them and they lost one of their steppe territories, they are divided into 3 mini-kingdoms.

    Saka: They went south and conquered Pahlava and Baktria, lost their northern territories to Pahlava and recently lost their southeastern territories to a resurgent Baktria.

    Baktria: Once on the verge of annihilation, they have come back to become the most powerful kingdom in the east.

    Due to a recurring CTD I've had to start my SPQR campaign again, so here it is
    222bc


    Currently at war with the Lusotana and holding the line of the river Erbo in defence, not sure if I'm going to invade them now or wait to see if Carthage will move against them as well.

    In gaul it seems my allies the Arverni are losing but they are not out of the fight yet and still have a lot of full stacks milling around.

    The Sweboz and Casse don't seem to be up to much.

    The Getai have carved out a nice kingdom for themselves and are currently fighting the Sauromatae for the northern Black sea coast whilst maintaining peace with Epiros who have been busy fighting Makedon and Pontos (another of my allies).

    The KH were kicked out of hellas pretty early on but have now managed to grab a foothold in asia minor at the expense for the Ptolemaioi who have nearly the whole eastern med basin as their own.

    The AS has collapsed fairly spectaculary and now only hold their core cities and a couple of distant outposts, it remains to be seen if they can survive.

    The Pahlava and Baktrains after forming their formidable empires are now feeling the heat from the Saka expansion and have formed an alliance against them, but are still losing ground.

    Saba has been quietly taking over the arabian peninsula and apart from the occasional spat with the Ptolemaioi have been peacable.

    Here's my Pontos campaign (with BI.exe)when i stopped playing it at 157BC. I stopped playing it becouse although i gave rome a lot of land they still played retarted. They had all of their armies at the north doing nothing while macedonia slowly attacked them, and they've even left some home provinces rebel to rebels like Mediolanum. They also got the augustan reform a long time ago, making my Mithridatic wars just a dream. Lusotanna and the Ptolemies became monsters, while macedon was a medium power. The game just wasn't fun anymore.

    And here's my new campaign with my old love the Seleucids. I love the fact that rome is doing so awesome without any of my help. The KH really annoys me since it attacks my cities in micra asia all the time, while in the East Parthia besieges my frontier cities every turn. I keep holding them off, but i don't know for how long i will manage to do that

    I was absolutly delighted when saba took from me jerusalem. Now i have a buffer between me and the ptolies, however, they still don't want peace.

    Thank you . Here's an update:

    219 BC



    213 BC



    210 BC




    I've lost patience with several factions, including the insolent Getai and of course the Romaioi. Qarthadast attacked me so I seized the opportunity to take all their provinces in Sikelia plus Sardin and Korsim. ATM I'm besieging Barbaropolis (for the third time, in order to upgrade the Governor's palace and the city walls; then I'll perhaps leave it again so that the Romaioi can build their highways in Latium...) and moving in to take Bocchoris (on Mallorca).

    The Lusotannan, Aedui and Swêboz are the dominating "Barbarian" powers now and have forced Rome and Carthage out of their respective zones of influence. The Arverni meanwhile refuse to die and occasionally even take a settlement from the Swêboz (and lose it again afterwards).
    The Casse are apparently hibernating, as they are wont to.

    The East is divided between the two other-than-me superpowers: Pahlava and Ptolemaioi. The pathetic rest of the AS struggles in Mikra Asia against an alliance of Pontos and KH. I've recently attacked Pontos by lifting their siege on the last AS settlement.

    I've also sent my best army on a rescue mission to prevent the destruction of the Indo-Hellenic Kingdom of Sattagydia, formerly Baktria. On the way to India I pillaged Memphis (because my fleet wouldn't have been able to pass by otherwise).

    The siege of Patala:

    Getai; VH campaign, M battle; 210 B.C.

    Just a few comments:

    Qarthadastim - wow. They blitzed their way through the Italic Peninsula in a matter of a few years. Currently they have quite a few full-stacks sitting in the Po Valley.

    Romani - where are they, you might ask.

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 


    The first faction to suffer this fate, I might add. Pushed out of their homelands by the Qarthadastim, then mauled by the Lusotannan (who took their three last settlements in Gaul).

    Epeiros - strange place to find them, you would think. Indeed, another AI blitz, this time by KH, who appeared to be hellbent on destroying Epeiros. I and the KH were at peace for more than 10 years (while sharing a border of 4 provinces) with nary a word between us as KH poured all of its troops north.

    AS - they appeared to be winning decisively in the war against the Ptollies, but then the Ptollies somehow made a comeback and beat back the AS to a small foothold.

    Overall, a rather bizarre (and enjoyable) campaign.

    Here's my Seleucid update, playing VH/M, BI.exe, year 227 BC


    The major differences in my empire were the conquering of Mytilene, Pergamon, Zadrakata, Asaak and Baktra. I Installed client rulers in the first two for roleplaying reasons... Also, when i allied with pontos again a few years back, i got a ceasfire with Parthia and Baktria, so i stopped my conquest of those two kingdoms, and they haven't attacked me yet.

    Western Mediteranean
    Romani: They are figting the punic wars by land and see, and are currently suffering against the Swebo-Arverni alliance.
    Carthage: Is trying to regain and controll sicily, corsica and sardinia all the time.
    Aedui have become a bretnian tribe
    Lusotana are doing nothing special either.

    Eastern Mediteranean.
    Macedonia: they were pushed to have only 4 settlements by the Epirotes, but practically destroyed them once they conquered Sparta. Now they started to invade Asia Minor, and have taken Byzantion and Nicomedia from Pontos. They are also allied with rome
    Epirus. They only live becouse Taras rebelled to them
    Ptolemaics: keep having a war with them for the Levant and Cyprus.
    Saba. Same as ptolemaics
    Pontos: They became quite a strong kingdom, but now are getting they're asses kicked, even though they have 2 full stacks in Amaseia. So i guess Macedonia will have a really hard time conquering it.
    Armenia is at war with the sarmatians with mixed fortunes.

    I haven't really payed attention with what other factions are doing

    Hayasdan 265 B.C.

    I know this is very early in the game, but I still posted the picture because I've never seen such rapid Lusotannan expansion! They have most of Iberia, and the game is only on turn 28!



    Oh, and Arche Seleukia made peace with the Ptolemaioi on turn four. I suppose they really want to kill me...

    1. Senatus Populusque Romanus
      Consulares:


      Military not the strongest consuls in the history of Rome, but they are good planners. Currently planning invasion in Aegyptos and the quelling of loyalist uprisings in former Pontic territory.
      .
    2. Mauri and Berber tribes
      They just roam freely in their dry and outstreched territories, not much to tell about.
      .
    3. Garamantine Kingdom
      King:

      A smart King, as he knows to leave the Romans alone. Expansion is not on his mind.
      .
    4. Kingdom of Aegyptos
      Basileus - Pharao:

      The Ptolemaic linage has long lost power over Aegyptos. Losing the war against Pontos and the sacking of Lower Aegyptos and the Levant by Roman armies made the army try a coup. It succeeded. Two Pharaos of the Peleusias family followed, but military succes did not come again. Thus the army decided to pick another Pharao.
      .
    5. Kingdom of Saba
      King:

      A strong King: has been able to gain a foothold in the levant and is trying to keep the Arabian peninsular for himself.
      .
    6. Kingdom of Palmyra-Assyria
      Basileus:

      Part of the defeated Pontic Empire. Currently to busy with internal struggles to have any military significance.
      .
    7. Kingdom of Kappadokia
      Placeholder - missing screenshot
      .
    8. City-State of Seleukeia
      Strategos:

      Has been able to survive constant Parthian and Pontic attacks. Is the creator of the best and most professional city militia in the world.

      .

    Man, what a really cool Casse expansion in that game!!

    Did that happen independently, or was that influenced by you?
    "You must know, then, that there are two methods of fight, the one by law, the other by force: the first method is that of men, the second of beasts; but as the first method is often insufficient, one must have recourse to the second. It is therefore necessary for a prince to know well how to use both the beast and the man.

    No, it's Saba actually. The "Faction Leader" is a rebel general - ex-Carthage.

    I gave the Casse 1 province in Belgica in ~220BC. Apparently they developed a slightly negative disposition towards the Sweboz after that...

    The Levant, Lower Egypt and Kyrene are now secured. I'm now building up the infrastructure there and then I'll have to decide between conquering further into Egypt, starting to conquer Gallia or taking the last Pontic settlements and risking a massive war with the Parthian Empire.
