    Default My Epeiros Campaign 1.0

    As I recently discovered a good picture hosting site I decided to share my Epeirote campaign with you.

    I finished a long time ago but kept the images. I really loved this campaign and made a sort of slideshow of ruling periods. It EB 1.0 and keep looking at the minimap to see what the other parts of the world are up to.

    It all starts as Pyrrhos Aiakades only rules his homeland, at war with his Macedonian neighbours.



    After his reign, Greece is unified and so are the surrounding lands. He is succeeded by his eldest son Ptolemaios.



    Ptolemaios sets out to campaign against the Ptolemaics with his royal army, while other general fight elsewhere. Also notice how Baktria conquered the Central Asian Nomads and how the Hayasdan destroyed their hated Sarmatian rivals.



    Before his death, the Ptolemaic Empire is gone and he is entitled Ptolemaios "the Last", he expanded the Epeirote lands further east north and took the Nile. His only heir Pyrrichos takes over.

    Pyrrichos quickly has new heirs, he has three sons, Klearchos, Hagesias and Pasion. Klearchos being the eldest of the three and the greatest. The promising young boy is sent to the Agoge and excells, he then is granted the command of a new army. This army will be sent against the Carthaginian Empire. Hagesias is also a strong man and campaigns eastwards together with his father, he learns from his father and takes over the command when he retires. Pasion is a smart man, but is given ill-health. He governs eastern cities. But the Seleucids attacks his town and he protects his cities with his life, together with persian archers. Early on he loses one of his eyes. Pasion is then called Monopthalmus (one-eyed). Pasion then also advances eastwards and gets even more scarred. When fighting near the Indus he even gets a wooden leg. There was hardly something untouched about this man. After the eastern wars end he can finally go back to the calmer governing.



    When the conquering Pyrrichos finally dies the living legend who conquered half spain and Africa succeeds the throne. He fights some last campaigns and particularly hard campaigns against savages near Eburonum. He finally unifies the known world by conquering Seliun Pilis and thereby bringing peace tot he unopposed gigantic Empire. If he will die, his heir Menandros takes over.




    Hope you liked it!

    Does the game automatically kill Pyrrhus when he assaults a city? Why else does it tell you to stay away from Argos?

    Hmm... is Saudi Arabia inaccesible?

    Cool store, bro! I want some ham.
    No ham, pepsi.
    They make deli slices of frozen pepsi now? Awesome!
    You also need to purchase a small freezer for storage of your pepsi.
    It runs on batteries. You'll need a few.
    Uhh, I guess I won't have pepsi then. Do you have change for a twenty?
    You can sift through the penny jar

    Saudi Arabia is part of the Sahara province, better known as the unconquerable provinces. These are not be conquered because they were not much things of importance. Pre 1.0 Dumatha was still there but it already had a structure called Sand, limiting trade. 1.0 and after it was not to be conquered anymore.

    Historically they say Pyrrhos died by a rooftile thrown at his head. It was at a hellenic polis, so I suppose that would be Argos.

    Ok, quick question, Fluvius Camillus - how hard is it keeping those provinces at the outer reaches of your empire in check? -M

    Also there were some curious thing I came accros during my campaign.

    The Carthaginians came up with a ingenious idea! This happened during the campaign when Klearchos marched against them. He had spies to open the gate.

    But the Carthaginians decide to... RAM BACK! Remember this is 1.0, but this was the weirdest EB thing I ever saw.




    These Lusotannan soldiers also appeared to be lost.



    And finally I found out that the Seleucids where supported by Satan himself! My general in that shot is Pasion, still with two eyes!



    Well now these are my mysteries
