Getai, 186 BC, VH/M

Pretty insane Qarthadastim expansion... they finished conquering the Romani in 213. I've spent more than a decade hurling 1-2 full-stacks (often comprised of their numerous elites) back every turn on the bridge just west of Patavium.

In 191 I launched a blitz campaign in Asia Minor, taking four settlements within three seasons. Of course, this brought me to war with the Yellow Fever and its 11 idle fullstacks (as well as Pontus), but with so many border settlements, I have been able to wipe out several fullstacks at a time.

I also raised a 3/4 stack of elites (Ischyroi Agema, Komatai Epilektoi, Ktistai, Tarabostes and a promising young general) as well as a fleet of Lemboi (commanded by a four-star admiral) to attack the heartlands of the Ptolemaioi and Qarthadastim and raze their major cities (troop production centers).
