Man, the AI likes to get you all at once huh?

Started another Hayasdan campaign yesterday. Took the Eleutheroi Caucasus holdings. The Arche seemed a bit disappointed that I had just beaten them to Phraaspa. Next turn, declaration of war, and a futile siege of Phraapsa. Fun, as I was the only ally that had not betrayed them; and instead of sending armies to deal with Baktria, Pahlava, and to a lesser extent the Saka, or to the West to deal with the Ptollies and the Pontic upstarts, they send them to me. Turn after that they manage to get a cease fire with the Ptollies. Hope I can hold out.

Strange enough the only two factions that actually never betrayed a peace or an alliance (with me) in game are the Epirotes and Sauromatae.

AS on Hai campaigns become a real asshole, really

about Epirotes and Sarmatians, i guess either they had no real intention on attacking to take your lands, or you just got lucky, because both of those factions betrayed me already, on a regular basis, darn, i'm i hatred by the AI?

I've played multiple Hai campaigns and have never witnessed the Sauromate betray me.

AS sends nonstop stacks but eventually you will wear down their military machine. An army of 2 FM's and 6 Scythian Horse Archers will stop anything they send at you. If not, you can retreat after depleting your arrows, and finish off the stack the following engagement.

Pretty much the general tactic for survival when play as Hai
