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

[Aaldaemon]

Since the Romans were particularly apt at Genocide and winning this AAR is keeping theme with what Rome actually did. Its not old man in togas hanging out eating olives and drinking wine...its stabbing a falcata into another mans belly and then selling his family into slavery. Brutality at its finest. You must ask yourself who is more barbaric?

Quite so Chirurgeon... and while Quintus says he's being merciful, he must remember he _has_ to destroy Carthage and Corinth - I expect nothing less than massacring the population and the destruction of every building in those two cities.

[QuintusSertorius]

Well, I am also fomenting rebellions with the intent of making AI factions go to war. That's not terribly merciful, I guess. Already put the Hai and Seleukids at war, my next project is the Hai and Pontos.

[QuintusSertorius]

167BC:



The war with Epeiros is done - they are no more. But they do still exist in one form as Kyrene. They've got three full stacks over there and I'll periodically give them money if they're looking under threat. I've got a long period of peace now until I destroy Qarthadast, Makedonia and Koinon Hellenon, perhaps time to start some trouble in Spain. As it stands, I've not actually taken any Lusitanii provinces off them.

Still working on getting Pontos and Hayasdan to war with each other. Seleukids are needing some serious finance aid to stay alive, Pahlava are moving a little too quickly for my tastes now. Baktria have rebounded and now I'm struggling to keep them wiping out the Saka. Balance is a difficult thing indeed. I'm wondering if I should give the Saka some of the Parthian provinces.

Much as it pains me, I think it's about time I started standardising my armies. After all the Italian allies by this time were fighting in pretty much an identical fashion to the Roman part, by all accounts. Much as I love my variety, there isn't really justification for it. While the Bruttians make good hastati analogues, I don't really have anyone else who works for the rest. Plus it's been a couple of generations since the end of my Second Punic War.

Bland armies here we come, but I suppose it's preparation for the Marian reforms.

[Medical Toaster]

Quintus,

I am following your list for province take over dates for my own campaign and have noticed here that you have not taken Baikor by 179 B.C. as stated by your list. Have you got new information or have the struggles in the east put Iberian actions on a slight delay.

Thanks for the great AAR!

[QuintusSertorius]

Truth is I haven't got the greatest information on the conquest of Spain; it was a back and forth kind of thing so I've slowed it down some. It is my next target, I might have a go in a few years.

163BC:



I'm not entirely happy with my settlement of Anatolia; mostly because it still leaves Koinon Hellenon and Makedonia making too much money. I'm tempted to take their settlements off them and give them to Epeiros, but I'm not sure if that would be even worse in it's own way.

Pahlava roll on, Hayasdan have actually taken some Seleukid provinces, although they're off north again.

I've revised two of my armies now, they're mostly Roman because the allied part is "Italian". The ones in Spain I haven't touched, and I need to recruit a new army for Sicily.

[General Appo]

Continued good work. Just be very careful with the Seleukids, don´t want them wiped out yet for quite some time (an 80 or something like that, 100 if you count the Roman rump state).

[QuintusSertorius]

They've been getting financial support almost every turn, along with aiding in the placement of their armies and some additional units in places. I might give them back the provinces Hayasdan took, maybe that will pull their attention back south again. And give the Seleukids some funds.

Been taking it away from Pahlava, but I think now they have Seleukeia and Babylon they're rolling in it.
