1.x AI Faction Progression Thread

PS: They have walked all the way from Spain. :) How sad when they finally arrives in Africa only to find Carthage enslaved and conquered. ;) I really like the AI-expansion in this campagin. There is lots of action everywhere, still all factions remains. No one is too powerful, except maybe the Ptolemoi(sp). But they are being attacked from several directions. Saba in the North, Cartage(or the desert dwellers) from the west - and a war between them and the Pavhlan seems inescapable. Asia minor, turkey, is just a complete mess. Gaul is reallyyyy strong, I like how they conquered parts of Spain. The war between Aedui and me will be epic! ;)

Have you checked their name? It could be a bribed army.

I know they are not bribed, its full of iberian units and I first spotted them in the alps. Back then a faction leader, Gisgo, was leading the army. Since then I have followed them all the way. Pretty fun to watch actually.

Thank you all for your comments.

must have been a pleasure to get all the ideas for that and to get it to reality...

Yes, the best part of the game if you ask me. This is what keeps you interested in the campaign.

Consorting with barbarians is only ever a temporary measure, crush them or you are not a true Hellene.

I have crushed the Lugians and my army and Faction heir barely survived. Many did not survive. But I don't want Lugia, really. Would not have been realistic, and realism is all the campaign is about.

Next to be conquered: Noricum, Albion, Hibernia, Persia, Baktria. More or less.

By the way, do I see the Lusotannioi in Ireland?

Goidils switch sides to a Lusitanian expedition corps, Albionoi (Casse) invade Belgica (both FDed)

3 characters, blah blah blah...

Also, why is Ireland on the Lusotannioi expansion zone?

I see more than a little inspiration from MAA ;)

There is a theory that, shortly before or during EB's time-frame, an Iberian warlord with a large number of followers migrated to Ireland. IIRC this theory is very much disputed, though.
