1.x AI Faction Progression Thread

[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

Gotta be Sweboz though I agree its odd to see Pahlava attack Baktria instead of AS. I think that greenish blue color in Pergamum and Macedon is Makedonia. Thats pretty typical expansion for a black wave.

nah. Rahl is right, I'm Epiros. I was pretty stunned by the AI expansion, was just toy'ing around with the SPQA (Arretium) to train my young FM's and recognized this monster that will be called Sweboz. I think i have to secure at least AM to counter them off in the Alps.

Saba campaign, 243 BC:


Casse are doing the usual, slowly taking over Britain. Nothing special there.
Sweboz are moving west, and are now finally in touch with some other factions.
Aedui are close to destroying the Arverni and have been fighting against Rome since the beginning and doing pretty well.
Rome hasn't taken Mediolanum yet. Segesta has apparently rebelled.
Lusos are running around in Spain taking the odd town. At some point they'll probably explode and take over everything.
Carthage have finally woken up and are trying to take Sicily.
Getail aren't doing anything special.
Epeiros are doing really well, and have taken everything above Thermon.
KH are still alive which is good in and of itself. They are currently besieging Chalkis and Rhodos, so hopefully they will last for some time yet.
Maks are quite small, but a have a good number of full stacks standing around. Battling mainly with KH.
Sauros have managed to divide Hayasdan who made early gains in the north.
Hayasdan took a lot of land to the north before losing it again. They've somehow managed to lose their capital to rebellion and seem to have no interest in getting it back.
Ptolemies are sending small forces to attack me and are battling against AS.
AS are doing well, they've managed to hold off most of their enemies and also make some ground against Pahlava, which usually doesn't happen.
Pahlava made some early gains against AS, but are on the defensive now. Hopefully AS will wipe them out so I never have to fight them.
Baktria only have one province and have been sending attacks against Saka for some time now, none of which have been successful.
Saka are being Saka.

I've mainly been building up my cities and have just started moving towards Patala. Took, looted and abandoned Pura on the way since my troops got dropped off early (pirate fleet attacked). Not bothering with Gerrha yet since it just means that the AS will start sending stacks down to me. This will be annoying for me and will probably let the other factions defeat the AS. Palmyra keeps revolting to me.

It could go any way the minute. Personally I want AS to defeat the Pahlava and the Ptolemies, then get picked apart by everyone else. Basically I just don't want to be fending off streams of full stacks of elite phalanxes/cataphracts.
