[Romani AAR] It began on seven hills...

[QuintusSertorius]

Small Wars, 180BC

While wintering with the Pergamene army, Rufinus was attacked ones more, by a Greek raiding force. He had the advantage in numbers, but perhaps they hoped surprise was on their side.



He came out to meet them, but waited in a defensive line.



The enemy general and his elite bodyguard got around the Pergamene line.



But they were repeatedly charged by the Thracian and Illyrian cavalry...





...until only the brave strategos was left alive.



He fought alone trusting to his skill at arms to keep him safe, but eventually he succumbed to many wounds.



With that his army collapsed.



And once more Pergamon was preserved.



179BC:



I've been doing a bit of naughty tinkering with provinces via Force Diplomacy. Now we have the "Belgae" (ie Casse") and an Iberian migration too. They're Homeland and Expansion regions respectively for the Casse and Lusotanii, so they shouldn't be completely helpless. Plus there are already buildings that let them create troops there.

The Casse came through for me right away, driving off the Germans. Hopefully they'll do a better job of keeping them on the other side of the Rhine than the Aedui did.

Wow, I´ve never even got that. I´ve wondered what happens when an unmarried chick gets old, but I´ve never tested it.
Nice work with the Epeirotes, hopefully they´ll resist both Ptolemaic and Carthie attacks.

Thus far, they've both ignored them, which is weird. Maybe after a bit they'll take notice and try to do something.
