Pahlava, 222BC, M/M, Alex.exe

AS- moved to the west as i took their eastern provinces. they feed my armies with fresh new fullstacks. I fill Hades with their souls.
Baktria- i helped those buddhists to reach nirvana somewhere around 260BC; feeling good there, i guess. pure utopia.
Romans- doing good, but now brave Carthaginian and Epirote allies will eat them alive: if not, i'll erase them personally via sea (yeah, it's personal).
Ptolies- surprisingly inactive, yellow as the sun.
Aedui and Arverni- eating each other from the start. Arverni finally destroyed by the Romans
Makedonia- destroyed by Epeirotes
KH- have only Rhodos left, now they are making some naval invasions into Asia Minor: trying to conquer Asia Minor with akontistai
Saka Rauka- declared war on me, were pushed back: extremely inactive.
Getai- became Epeirotes protectorate, fighting Sarmaritians for some villages
Casse- feeling lazy on their island, sleeping naked in the forests.
Carthage- inactive until now: since 230bc conquering Italy
Saba- only revolt expands their empire, they just eat some sand in their desert and walking around
Lusos- live in ambush and fighting Carthies
Sweboz: loosing every fullstack trying to beat respawning rebel armies
Pontos- AS would destroyed them but i gave them ALOT of money (my own, without console command) so they could defend them selves. I've personally re-took some cities form AS for them. My allies.
Hayasdan: few fullstacks sleeping in the mainland. Fighting Sauros pointlessly. My allies
Pahlava- FTW !! :-))

When you play with alex.exe you need to make some small changes in the files. Otherwise all your generals become immortals. I don't remember what changes tough. :/ Do a search.

Romani Campaign (Got bored kicking ass as Makedonia for once)

249 BCE

The map of the year just before Makedonia, seeking glory as Greeks will, stabbed me in the back.
As you can see, I had already secured Sicily and Italy. I struck against Epirus on the first turn, and captured Taras by the skin of my teeth on the second. After that, I retrained the southern consular army, then bypassed both Rhegion and Messena to attack the Carthaginians in Sicily.

I won, after a siege and battles with a marine landing by Carthage's ships.
I then went on to capture Corsica and Sardinia, which earned a triumph.

After that, it was boring fights against independent city states in the North, which went well except for a pretty bad defeat at Massalia. The same turn, Makedonia attacked Segestica unsuccessfully, prompting invasion by myself.

240 BCE

As you can see, the invasion of Greece is pretty well advanced.
I've made peace with Carthage for the moment, so I can concentrate on the Greek front.
I also wish to see if Carthage holds up in Iberia before I start my expeditions there.

The Macedonians send mostly levy and skirmisher armies against me, which I defeat utterly with only 5-10% casualty rates each time. The problem is that they send them at an incredibly quick rate, meaning that I have to send armies back to Italy every year or so to retrain back up.

I apologise for the fog of war, but I can't use the console commands due to Vista...
