Thread: Interesting Baktrian Expedition

    Default Interesting Baktrian Expedition

    On my decennial check of the campaign map, I discovered an interesting Baktrian expedition:


    I guess the Baktrians decided to send a diplomat to Antiocheia, but to guard him lest he gets arrested!

    Looks like a Seleukid army bumped into a bribe-happy diplomat. If the factions are at war, the boys in that unit are going to have a hell of a time making it to friendly territory alive

    RTW, 167 BC: Rome expels Greek philosophers after the Lex Fannia law is passed. This bans the effete and nasty Greek practice of 'philosophy' in favour of more manly, properly Roman pursuits that don't involve quite so much thinking.

    That is very interesting, indeed. Almost too much to be a coincidence, eh?

    I had a Karthadastim army go from Carthage all the way to Ankyra, before I smashed the full stack. The thing was, I conquered all of North African holdings of the Carthies, and all they had left was Gader, in Hispania. Those poor blokes would have probably made all the way to their destination, but my Roman Empire was at Asia Minor by then.

    This makes me wonder why there is no land bridge in the Gibraltar. To stop White Death, if there was such thing during beta testing?? Very much possible, I suppose, especially given all the elites the Karhadastim get, their wealth, and a comparatively very secure position.

    It was disscussed ages ago, the EB team said that the straits of gibraltar are too wide to merit having a land bridge.
