    Even though that's exactly how the Ptolemaioi should expand.

    By the way, how did the Aedui capture Southern Ireland?

    Because they are controlled by the human player.

    If you look carefully though, you can see that the southern Irish province has Aedui as "founder" faction. This is highlighted by the fact that the Eleutheroi AI (if given time) will build an Aedui governmental system as well as paved roads there! Nice exploit if you play the Casse slowly (or if you play expansionist Swêboz/Lusotannan), because of all Barbarian faction, only the Gauls can build paved roads.

    That's strange, I thought they'd be based off the Lusotannii, as Ireland is entirely within the Luso expansion regions....

    Shouldn't be too bad, once I get into the Balkans i'll have access to all those lovely falx units which should make pretty short work of any Ptolemaio army.

    Pretty nice isn't it.

    A year later 192bc


    I finished my conquest of Ireland and am now training a small army to make sure the Casse don't try anything.
    A Sweboz attack was fought off and I now intend to capture their cities west of the Elbe to use as a bargining chip for peace. Captured Numantia to further my ambitions in Iberia, I plan to build up the MIC's to get the amazing Dunaminaca for the backbone of my new Iberian army.

    Elsewhere the Ptolemaioi continue their push into greek lands but are having problems in some areas. Baktria seems to be on its last legs and is down to its last city which is surrounded by enemies. Rome faces danger from the Qarthadasti but might get some respite due to revolts on Sicily.

    Except falxmen are crap against both archers and phalanx units, which the Ptollies will have abundances of...
