Romani campaign, cca 200 B.C., Marian era, H/H - download here
Campaign so far: After taking Italy, I have secured alliance with Massilia and Emporion (Gov IV). The latter led to conflict with Carthage and Lusotani. I have expelled Carthage from Iberia, while left Lusotani to their wester and northern part of the peninsulla. They accepted cease-fire after long and bloody war, but they started to attack my allies Arverni in Aquitania. Therefore I was forced to intervene and restore the status quo ante. After the third such intervention, however, I continued on to total destruction of Lusotana. Meanwhile I have conquered the Dalmatian coast, destroying Epeiros in the course of it, as they incessantly attacked my other allies Getai and KH. At thesame time I have undertook invasion of Cyrene, with the aim to annoy Ptolemies, who have became a real superpower of the East. To this led to a big war with them and Carthage. I have took Paraitonion, but lost it afterwards to Ptolemies while Cyrene was bribed (!) by Carthage. My other army at the same time invaded Carthaginian homeland and conquered Utica and Carthage itself. Now, KH stabbed me in the back and attacked my legion guarding Epeiros, basically anihilating it. Counter-attack force is ready near Taras to punish the offenders.
Overall: very interesting situation right now, with war in Africa going on in Cyrene and Carthage, and another front just opened in the Balkans. Several full stacks of Sweboz are waiting in the Alpes. So far they have been trustfull allies of mine, but will the remain so??? Have fun!
P.S.- Immediately after Marian reforms oneofmy generals became power-hungry and upon becomming faction leader, he proclaimed himself Augustus. However, as other conditions are far from being fulfilled, we are still in the Marian era.
IMPORTANT!!! - I have enabled recruitment Massilian and Syracusan hoplites using this method. You have to EITHER do the same OR immediately disband all those units upon the first load. Otherwise the game might crash in the first battle where those units will take part, as it will now which skin to use for them!!!
