198BC:



I have peace with Qarthadast, although not even Force Diplomacy could make them pay me a tribute. I didn't actually take Lixus off them to give to the Saba - though again I tried but failed even with FD. The Saba actually took it off them, beginning the creation of an independent Mauretania.

I've had a lot of triumphs all of a sudden. Tiberius Pulcher got one for his part in punishing the Getai, the other Pulcher didn't get one for the battles in Africa, but has won one over the Gauls. Decimus Aemilius Mamercus finally arrived in Rome to celebrate his. He's now gone into retirement on Sardinia as the provincial governor there.

The Getai are getting on my nerves now. Having trashed their armies and even given two of their settlements away, they've come back to attack me again. I had to divert the second army of Spain to Illyria to drive them off, Tiberius Pulcher in command again, possibly another punitive expedition is in order.

I've regained Cisalpine Gaul in a lightning campaign over four years. I've FD'd peace with Aedui and Arverni, but I fully expect the military AI to send stacks at me regardless. I've got three consular armies in Cisalpine Gaul, I should hopefully be able to reduce that to two or maybe one soon. Then return Sicily's army to the island, and the central Italian stack back to Italy.

I'm supposed to be launching an brief war on Makedonia, I'm thinking of taking Korinthos and giving it to the Koinon Hellenon, but not sure if I'll get it done in time.

Not sure the Seleukids can hold out much longer. Their Syrian War is stable, only because I moved all the Ptolemaic armies away. But both Pahlava and Baktria are growing ever-stronger, at the expense of Saka and Rebels respectively. Might have to start nerfing their treasuries again.

Ironically having been concerned about keeping the Germans on their side of the Rhine, now the Aedui are roving into Sweboz land.

Still, it's nearly a century into the game, and no faction has died. Even the Rebels are still going.
