In four days, this AAR will be a year old.

Since everyon in Europe (other than the Lusotanni) are my friends (for now), I don't really expect to fight barbarians anytime soon. Though I would like to gain some more territory in Gaul, for instance.

My original plans for conquest after the civil war was to deal with Aigyptos (I had originally planned to just make peace with them [other than Alexandreia there isn't really much to gain from Aigyptos, it doesn't have too great of resources and it is overpopulated with people that don't like Makedonia]). After Aigyptos I had planned to take the coasts of Numidia and Mauretania (Siga and Lixus) to hopefully bankrupt them and at least cut down on there per turn unit spawns. Then have Philippos move to Iberia and finish what he had started with the Lusotanni. My plans didn't really work out, though. As the oracle said to Demetrios, "Friends will become enemies, and enemies friends."

The color is actually a dark brown. It is supposed to be black but black doesn't look great on the minimap. With the current color, you can see the contrasts of the terrain on the minimap better. I still call it black, though.

Thankyou to those of you who have read my AAR and thanks to those who have commented. I caught up with my picture editting and have about a two hundred uneditted pictures from the last couple months / decade of play that I need to edit before I can even start the next chapter. The next five years will go pretty fast...
