What was you're longest lasting campaign?

[DaciaJC]

202 BC with the Getai. I did some heavy cheating so that I could conquer about 5 provinces (and defeat those insane Eleutheroi stacks) within the span of a weekend in order to fulfill the victory conditions (and see the "prize"). Somehow, despite conquering all the required conditions, I didn't qualify for a victory, so I dropped that campaign. Too much cheating and modifying to make it any more worthwhile.

So I picked up the Romani for about 50 years, and then became bored with their easy campaign (M/VH).

Now I'm on my second Getai campaign, 221 BC, with only five settlements outside of my homeland conquered. I imagine that this will last for a while.

I find it very interesting that my very longest campaign in vanilla kept me occupied for only 30 years at most, while I play any EB campaign for at least 50 years with twice the number of turns per year than that in vanilla. EB is vastly more addictive than vanilla, I must say.

88BC on my Romani campaign, killed by CTD yesterday.

I think I've only ever once gone past the 200s BC on Vanilla, I think it was the Julii, and I got to 160BC. I remember very vividly, because my game got that glitch where it crashed consistently at 167 BC.

187 b.c. with Arche Seleukeia for me. I've never gotten past that for a lot of reasons. Usually it's because I've become all but invincible, and I get tired of managing a huge empire.

I hope to break that with my current Makedon campaign where my goal (while roleplaying and with houserules) is to recreate the empire of Megas Alexandros Currently at 245 b.c. and have control of Greece, parts of Illyria and some of western Anatolia.

Alright, I have a new question that is the absolute opposite of the first one: what was you're fastest ever blitz?

Mine is also in vanilla: Scipii: 50 provinces plus Rome in less than 70 years and about 8-9 hours of playing. (my mom accidentally locked me in the house and I was really mad)

PS: In EB I only ever managed once to get beyond 220 BC. About that time a CTD would usually happen. The only time I did play longer was with Saba. I got to about 170 BC and had slowly been conquering Egypt and the Levant. But then I went and overwrote the only savegame I had.

[Megas Methuselah]

I got to around 50 B.C. in an Epeirote-Massalian campaign. And I certainly didn't blitz the map or try "conquering the world." The mere idea is contemptuous.

[Chris1959]

78BC current Roman Campaign and still a way to go! Oh, and unusually most successful AI faction are Pontus who destroyed Arche Seleucia about 120BC!

Wait, you used Epeiros as Massalia? I hope you enabled the Massaliotai Hoplitai for them, what would a Massalian Campaign be without them. Otherwise, you still have your Keltohellnikoi Hoplitai...

Would be nice to hear/see how far you expand into Gaul.

Hmm I always thougt it has to be at least 125BC to get the Augustan Reforms? Did you change that?

[syct23]

10AD on RTR have yet to break 150bc with EB cause of all the crashes...and i like the long campaigns

[StellarW]

Hi,

My first EB campaign kept my occupied until winter 172 BC and that felt like forever. :)

Since i see some completed campaign screenshots in this thread i hope the posters will contribute to my thread titled "Campaigns completed description thread".

Thanks.

I'm currently at 167 BC in my Makedonian campaign, thats 420 turns and almost an RL-year...

In vanilla I reached ~130 BC with the Bruti, but that's only 280 turns...
