Some hard times for Pahlava, even after I gifted them Persepolis and Gabai with some FD. They nearly lost the former to a revolt, then the Seleukids came back and recovered the latter. They also re-took Ekbatana, although just lost Susa. They've managed to kick the Ptolemies out of Syria and Cilicia, though now I'll have to watch carefully for any attempt to re-take Anatolia.

Makedonia seem to have given up the fight, which has surprised me. They lost Demetrias and Pella a couple of turns ago, I've had to slap the Greeks with some treasury penalties to slow them down. Not sure what's happened, maybe I gave them the best provinces in Asia Minor?

Saba are starting to kick ass again, they've now got all three Mauretanian provinces, and re-took Gaetulia after losing it. They also took Judea on their own, which was cool.

Baktria have been hard-pressed by the Saka, losing and retaking Baktra several times. They did finally take Opiana, having had a full stack sitting outside it for years doing nothing. I can see them getting squeezed into the top of India by the Saka. I think the fact that when I FD'd Baktra back to them it had four units of Indian Elephants in it might be a sign. As in their money situation is screwed.

No one is paying Cyrenaia any attention at all. Nor are the Epirotes there doing much, but that's cool. My bit of tinkering in Gaul and Hibernia seems to be stable.

You've actually got the original battle report for that last one - that one CTD'd immediately after winning it. I didn't do so well the second time - still a heroic victory but I had higher losses. I wasn't best pleased having to play that one out again.
