    Hey! Thats slightly in context!

    OOC should be where are you guys from? GAH!


    I think it's determined by the script, so it has to be a specific order. At least thats what it looked like when I looked at the PBeM mod.

    The Punic has it correct. The script needs the order found in the descr_strat...and not the names at the top. It goes in order of actual faction information (which takes forever to dig through to get the right order :sweat:)

    And I chose Romanii because..well...yeah.

    You do realise I am a Romani at heart? I'm only being punic to see what it's like to watch an empire crumble into dust!

    Why I chose the Arverni? Why, the women of course! Where else can you find such lovely women as you can in Gaul? Nowhere, I say! And if you think I would go for the Aedui, you must be out of your mind. They are way too friendly towards those barbarians in Rome for my liking.

    Of course, of course. You can keep yourself busy with defeating the Greeks at Sinope and Trapezous without any intervention. I promise.

    You might want to reverse that position when all of your "Satraps" have formed a glorious, anti-Selukeia coalition!

    A poor decision, if I say so myself. For you see, the "Arche", although it appears strong, it's strength is totally dependant on the goodwill of it's neighbours; his "Satraps". A Glorious Coalition of Oppressed Peoples could easily smite the Arche from the face of Gaia, and gain land for each respective people. For the Pahalava, Parthia and Sogdiana. Hayastan? The Caucasus and Media. The Ptolemaioi? Syria and Mesopotamia Us Baktrians? India and Khorasan. And Pontos? The whole of Anatolia. From the Taurus Mountains the Aegean, Tarsus to Sinope, a Pontic Shahdom, worthy of the Achaemenids. And yet, The Seleukids are denying you from fulfilling this dream, forcing you to bow to their yoke. That is no way for a Shah to behave, a Shah deserves land, wealth and power! And the Seleukids are the only barrier preventing Pontos from fulfilling it's destiny.

    And that's not the only reason as to why we should join forces. For the Arche's strength is measured on the friendliness of his neighbours; were we all to sit by and watch the Seleukids, the Ptolemaioi would be destroyed, and cast out from their home, despite the wealth of Egypt. And with the combined wealth of Syria and Egypt, nothing could stop the Arche. It would swarm over the Earth, like bees from a hive, devouring all in it's path, leaving only oppression and desolation in it's wake. This is the time to prevent that, this is our time, this is the time for liberation!

    So, I have proposed a plan. As I have mentioned above, the Arche will be divided amongst our kingdoms. I have divided it so that each kingdom gets a roughly equal share, noting of course that some regions are richer than others.



    Note that some areas I have suggested are outside the current de facto control of the Arche; I consider these areas to be under Seleukid influence, and should a nation require assistance in bringing a certain region under control, then other members of our Coalition must send troops to assist, to liberate those regions from Seleukid influence. Ofc, edits would be considered.

    Now, I bet many of you are wondering why I left the Seleukid Remnant there. The reason is that the Seleukids are a valid Diadochi; it's just that their power is totally out of proportion as to what Alexandros would have wished. So I have merely "Reduced" them to Persia Proper where they belong.

    Now all you have to do is join the coalition.
