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.
