Yeah, they're becoming a pain in the ass (I mean my rearguard, is too expose I think)

[WinsingtonIII]

Wow jerjes78, you better hope that the Getai can hold back that Lusotanian storm! I would not want to go up against that.

I would.

Lusos fall easily to Syrian, Persian and Kretan bows.

Hi guys

No, it is not that much as hell as expected. Actually it's quite fun. As the Romans I am extremely rich and therefore can support a good army. As you can see, I already have taken Egypt from them and several fullstacks defend the river-crossings between Africa and Near East ... which is necessary, because the Ptolemaioi armies are great and strong. Thanks to the Marian reforms I can recruit new legions almost everywhere. ATM I am invading Mikra Asia with 2 fullstacks and 3 more fullstacks are in their ships, heading for Ioudaia. I am curious if this will suffice to conquer the eastern shores of the Mediterranean. I never reload a lost battle, and I have suffered some real devastating defeats against the endless Phalangitai-armies of the Ptolemaioi. The conquest of the Ptolemaic holdings in Egypt has cost me 30'000 men ! (yes 1:1). But now the Ptolies seem to run out of their silver and gold chevron (!) elite-units which they had bred in their wars against the Seleukids, Pahlava and Baktria.

The Saka are at war with the Sauromatae and the Sweboz, but not yet with the Ptolies. Not sure if they are even allies, I'll check, when I am home.

Makedonia campaign

It's great to see someone playing on huge unit size.
IMO you should field more regular cavalry, and less FMs. The latter tend to get killed in hilarious ways against phalanxes, even if you attack correctly. More assault infantry (Thracians, some kind of axemen) wouldn't hurt either, especially if you're up against the Agema-happy Ptolies.

I have never ever seen anything quite like that. It's....monstrous.

EDIT: I'm also liking your expansion (Apart from the Roman thing). Very plausible

Jesus!

Now fighting that Indo-Syro-Ptoleamic Empire must be hell

I don't think hell is the word to describe it it's 1000 times worse than hell look at that beast. May the gods protect SwissBarbar

[anubis88]

The Saka also look extremly dangerous. Tell me Swissbar, are they at war with the Ptolies?

mind posting a save game?

Look at Carthage, Epeiros and the Sweboz

[Alexokrat]

Here is my Saba Game in 236BC, quite similar to the one in the post before.
Attacking the Ptolemai seems to be the best to do, I will continue that.

For the AI my newbie eye cant see any special activities.
