Chris's Ludicrous Migration

[Chris_]

Big bump.

Update on migration campaign. It's now 154 BC, and I just finished off Baktria. They'd been living in Alexandropolis for ~30 years. Their ultimate plan to charge up a hill at me with 4 sets of 2000 skirmishers didn't go too well .

Once I get through the horrible Ptolemaic monster, I'll then have to go through the horrible Sweboz monster. Unless of course things have changed by the time I get over there.

Good god man this just amazing Major respect and props to you for doing this sir.

Poor romani, I see a white/dark red/yellow future for them

seems that there should be a satres in the rhin <.<

awesome chris!

[Reverend Joe]

Holy damn, dude. This is great!

Well, it finally happened. Ptolies decided to attack by sending a stack of 3000 troops against newly conquered Susa. It took me 3 sallys to get rid of them, but I won eventually. I was saved from the next stack by Saba ( my allies ) becoming a protectorate of the Ptolies (which caused a ceasefire between me and the Ptolies, which they seem to be sticking to).

Pahlava are down to 4 settlements now, 2 near Saka, and 2 to the west of me. Also, I seem to get MOTH whenever random captain #23123 kills yet another unit of Pantadapoi. When I get back home I'll post a map screenie. Although, it might have to be a standard one since the map generator is a bit dead at the minute

So, Saba betrayed me (big surprise), Ptolies killed Hayasdan, and I fixed the bug in the viewer.

140BC (running out of time!)

Slow and steady progress for me, as I'm having to deal with the endless stacks of the Yellow Death. In the south, my naval assault to attack Saba from behind worked, and I took control of one of the cities there. Just set up the government, and finishing off levy building, then I'll attack the surrounding citites.

In the centre, Ptolies attack Susa all the time. I'm waiting for a delivery of Stone Projectors from Baktria, which I'm going to take with a defensive force through a mountain pass noone uses, and take Arbela. This should spread out the yellow death a bit, and possibly open up an attack on Seleucia and Babylon. Pahlava are still hanging around, but they arent bothering me, and I don't really want to bother them at the minute.

Up north, I took one of the Saka settlements, and may move through Sauromatae territory. Saka dont really seem to care that I took one of their towns, so I might finish them off when I can. I have a family member available and on the way, although he's coming from India so it will take a few turns.

Elsewhere, the Romans (who have been my Allies since whenever it was that I walked past Italy) are getting back into the game, and have taken back Sicily. A few rebellions here and there, but otherwise, not much else happened in the rest of the world.

You should force the persians into your protection. they should act as a good bufferzone against ptollies and it could funnel them into one place

[Laevex]

Brilliance! This is truly epic. It makes me want to do a migration of my own. But I think you have chosen the best idea yourself. I suppose anyone in Ireland would be cool.

And I agree with all those who desperately want this map-maping gizmo. It would make me so incredibly happy if you could release it. Even if it only made those maps from savegames.

Baktria...

in ireland...

[satalexton]

now you've done it LZ3...I'm gonna do that as soon as i get fed up with my romani game

[Celtic_Punk]

so have you completely destroyed Saba yet?

[Chris_]

No not yet, and it doesnt look like I will for some time, as I have a CTD when I take Maryab. I think it might be something to do with a general who is in the city, or something else. I'll just have to work around it for now. Saba are down to 3 provinces, so that shouldn't take too long. I started attacking Ptlolies from the north now too.
