1.x AI Faction Progression Thread

[Dyabedes of Aphrodisias]

Just got EB 1.2 and started up a Sweboz campaign. All good so far, but this picture isn't current (I'm at about 216BC now, the picture is 230BC) but the only big differences involve my own expansion.



The AI expansion in this version has improved excessively! The Lusotannan, Sab'yn, Getai and Casse grew a pair, and the BI.exe has provided some interesting foreign wars. The Ptolemies are effectively extinct; they've been driven into the desert and it won't be long before the Macedonians, Seleucids and Saba are fighting over the booty. The Arche Seleukeia has become formidable only because of the downfall of Ptolemaic Egypt; they're being tempered by Makedonia and Epeiros at the west and the various colors of the east. The Saba seem like more of a serious pest than a serious power; they just keep taking and losing various minor territories of the the Ptolemaioi and Seleukids.

The Romani have produced an interesting expansion as well; going west because Carthago won't let them have Sicily. These two factions are constantly at war, sissy-fighting and trading back and forth various Mediterranean islands. Carthage could do some damage of they landed their stacks in Italia rather than Sicilia. The Romani made an attempt at eastern expansion by landing a stack in the heart of Epeiros, but they failed to send support after them. They somehow let the Gauls get all the way to Serdike, choosing to attack the Lusotanna instead, making some headway there.

The Getai are making some awesome progress (since this picture I've "inherited" Gawjam-Bastarnoz from their clumsy governing). Also currently the Arverni are extinct at my hand, the Aedui have been significantly damaged by my invasion and my raids after they foolishly decided upon an attack into modern-day Belgium and by the Romans to the south (my allies), and the Romani should be preparing for a German invasion after betraying me (they decided to go for an unguarded but totally pillaged and raped Viennos before it got to rebel back to the Aedui).
