Anyways, here's my Parthian Empire at 118 BC:
I further attacked Baktria, and conquered some land from them, which i made vassal kingdoms. I made the mistake of capturing Samarkand and letting it rebel, since it rebelled to my allies the Saka, which are now at war with me.
Baktria is no more then a petty province nowdays.
the AS are just incredible. They still have huge armies. And they kicked Ptoly asses, kicked the KH from cyrene and Augila, and are giving me a hard time. They get to war with Pontos every turn, but then declare a ceasfire the same turn.
Pontos has gone crazy. They practicaly destroyed the KH mainland, despite KH being the second or third power in the world for most of the game, at some time holding the entire starting positions of Eperios and Makedonia, + the wester part of Micra Asia.
Rome is still trying to put down the "rebellions" in Spain, but they can't quite finish them off. Velika is a real stronghold. They are going back and forth with Carthage in Africa, and if they had a competent commander there, they would destroy them by now.
Epeiros is a regional power, not letting the Romans invade a greece.
I attacked a few AS holdings, but managed only to get Damascus and gave it to the Ptolys, + Pork hayk (or whateva) and gave it back to the Hai.
Hayasdan can't get Armavir back to them. IMHO when they succed, the entire AS power may diminish, since Hayasdan will be a worthy adversary once more.
Oh, and sorry for the white crap at the bottom, but my MPaint skills really suck![]()

Romani 195bc
Currently fighting the Lusotann and have seized all their Gallic holdings, I'm hoping to make peace with them at some point as I have no desire to involve myself in Iberia right now.
The Getai have also attacked me but have been halted by the presence of one of my armies camped out on the only bridge into my territory, they seem hesitant to attack now only having a few small armies hovering nearby doing nothing.
My next move is strengthen my position in Gaul by conquering the Aedui who are weak and ripe for the taking as well as absorbing the Sweboz enclave. As for the Arverni I shall leave them be as they have been faithful allies for many years and will serve as a strong buffer against any Sweboz attacks.
In other parts of the map, the Pahlava are attacking Pontos who has cleverly established a foothold in the Crimea as a safe haven, it remains to be seen if the Pahlava can capture and hold any settlements so far from thier centres of power.
The Ptolemaioi are embroiled in a war with the Saba but whilst besting them in almost every battle they are not making much headway due to the remote and rebellious nature of the Saba cities.
The Seleukids having nearly completed their miraculous recovery from complete defeat are poised to capture the last Makedonian city and a reinforce their postion as a strong regional power.
Greece is a complete warzone but the Eporites seem to have the upper hand now.
I love your map Hax! Nice idea and beautiful done!

Well here it is... My first game to go beyond 100BC...
My Pahlava campaign at 95BC.
.
It took ages for me to help Rome to get Utica. I bribed a Carthaginian general, and made a full stack of mercenaries and after about 10 years i managed to conquer the City, and give it to Rome. Now there's no more worries of their Republic to brake down in Africa.
On the Eastern part:
The Ptolies were about to be destroyed, having only Damascus left, so i started an invasion in Syria, captured Antiochia, Palmyra and Sidon, in gave them with money to the Ptolies, just so i don't have to fight an extremly rich Seleucid Empire.
I just attacked my long term allies, Hayasdan, since i was really starting to get bored, and i decided to capture Arbela and Phraaspa.
I also helped Rome a bit, on their eastern front, and they finaly managed to destroy what was left of Epeiros. Now the war with Pontos will probably start.
SPQR has like 8 full stacks patrolling W Gaul and Spain, and they still let their provinces rebel!!.
I will probably have to move those armies myself, in order to give them a chance in the following Mithridatic wars.
P.S. Notice the irony, with the Seleucids having Egypt, and Ptolies Syria.
Oh, and i forgot to mention the KH creating a Bosphoran kingdom by now... I forgot to write it on the picture... Oh well

VH.
But i'm using Force diplomacy to steer the Romans in the right way. Other then that i help the Ptolies(without FD, they're more like my vassals in syria) but noone alse. It is indeed remarkable how long some factions are alive.
Lusotana for one, just wont go away. Iberian Cities keep rebelling to them. Also the Getai are protectorates of Pontos for about 50 years, so they are safe. KH was once a great empire, but now they live only on Crete and the Bosphoran kingdom, which are pretty secure. (Altough the Ptolies have 2 huge stacks on crete, but neverming.
I recommend you try using FD. But use it only to help the stupid AI.
