    I'm Getai in this campaign...265 B.C.

    Yes, I know I blitzed. Increased movement a bit, I admit, I just can't handle slow games. So my own expansion is a bit cheap...

    Anyways...AI expansion has been very interesting...as you can see, the Sauromatae have expanded across the entire steppe, I expect them to be fighting the Sweboz within ten turns! The Aedui are also massive; in addition to the fact that they control all of Gaul, northern Italy, and Vellika, they are also sieging a couple of Alpine cities with forgettable names and Emporion, and have the Arveni vassalized. Carthage also looks like it is going through decent expansion in North Africa, but the Romans have started up the Punic Wars in Sicily by laying siege to Messana.

    On the rest of the world: Hayasdan and Sweboz have decent expansion, but are of course dwarfed by the Sauromatae. The Konion Hellion are confined to Rhodes, my attempts to teleport their armies from Rhodes/Crete to Lydia all failed miserably (they insisted on trying to walk back to Athens...) so I gave them up as a lost cause. Makedon is destroyed. No other factions seem to be doing especially well....

    On my own campaigns: I started out by defeating all the rebels in the surrounding area, which wasn't that hard. Makedon declared war on me, I quickly defeated their field armies and won a few heroic victories while waiting for reinforcements to arrive from the Crimea. With a reinforced army and a consistent stream of units from Buridava and Sarmiszgethusa, I pounded Makedon into the dust. KH backstabbed me, I defeated them too, they did not have much of an army. Epeiros was even easier, their forces were very scattered. However, I noted that the AI behaved in a smarter manner than usual--when it became obvious that the war in Greece was lost, it loaded Phyrros and a good half-stack into a ship and sailed for Taras, where Phyrros won several auto-resolved siege assualts against various Roman captains thanks to his ten stars, ensuring the survival of the faction...as a Roman vassal. After Hellas fell, I invaded Anatolia, kicked Selekeia out of the peninsula, was backstabbed by my Ptolemaioi allies, took Side, and then captured Antioch/Damaskos, burned everything to the ground, and traded them with Seleukeia for peace and Mazaka. Arche Seleukeia is now severely weakened, leaving the Ptolemaioi with an opportunity...

    As long as they have a nice war, I'll be happy...

    Oops, I forgot to mention the modded increased movement. Edited the orginal post. Talk about a dumb mistake, lol. But other than that, no cheating at all.

    Even the increased movement isn't THAT bad, it does make the AI build empires faster...look at the Aedui or Sauromatae.

    Nice game! I like Carthage...and especially the Romani, lol. Where the Aedui ever powerful? Judging by the spread of their remaining provinces, they once occupied a considerable area. Epeiros and Sweboz expansions, although large, are more regular, if I recall correctly?

    Yeah, Carthage rocks! They were extremely passive for the first 20years or so; i play with toggle_fow and i haven't see their armies at all (only the little ones)...and then, in one turn, fullstacks came out of nowhere (then i realised they were in ambush untill then) and in few years Italy was occupied with Carthaginian fullstacks, taking city after city, and now they ead Aedui.

    Aedui were going pretty well: they beat Arverni and made them protectorate. Then the Romans came and almost destoyed them (they destroyed Arverni), but Carthies did their job in Italy so Aedui recaptured some cities.

    Nice carthage expansion, white death? Getai look like a mini iberia and the romans are over 9000...

    lol But still it's pretty amazing they got that far apart. I guess the carthies went really bad.

    I could be wrong but it looks like the Romans conquered big pieces of gaul and Boii lands but were drained from war, so Carthage, which was allied with Aedui swept in and smashed them.

    My empire expanding even further. My allies, Hayasdan and Pontos, are attacking the remains of collapsed Seleucid empire in Asia Minor (Hayasdan is sending fullstacks through Pontos lands trying to take Nikaia. I was surprised because Hayasdan is not attacking me although we share borders, but instead they (Hayasdan) try to capture cities from AS which are far away from their homeland. I appreciate that so i give them tons of money.

    Furthermore:

    Romans:were almost destroyed, now they are beating Aedui.
    Carthage: was holding entire Italy, but Epeirotes are invading from the north, and Italy will soon be Helenic. Carthaginian fullstacks are just standing in Africa, traveling nowhere. I wonder where will they strike next.
    KH: Declared war on Ptolies and they took two provinces in Asia Minor. Right now they are attacking Cyprus via sea.
    Saka Rauka: i love to fight against them (two catatanks armies clash is hell of a fun)
    Saba: i wipe them out while they try to take Damaskos and Gerrha from me. Those poor fellows just ain't have answer for my mighty, victorious and unbeatable parthian-hellenic armies with horse archers reinforcements.
    Lousitanna: doing good: expanding into Gaul.
    Casse: they just sleep, man
    Sweboz: fighting eleutheroi armies mostly
    Ptolies: doing nothing, they sleep too. I plan to invade them in the future.


    EDIT: sory for my bad english; but i'm a warroir, not linguist
