Saka campaign is "unexpectedly" easy...

[Cute Wolf]

On Hard campaign difficulty

except toggle_fow and process_cq... I don't use any cheat... Arche Seleukeia is indiffrently stupid, and both Pahlavans and Baktria still fought each other until both are dead...

That's true I lose some city in the process, and some FM's as well, but the AI usually didn't put anything... inside the settlements after (except depleted pantodapoi and 1 FM)

Maybe I'll work my AAR soon.. allready taking some pics... ....

try the pahalava, they are harder until ou build a stable base and from then on you become invincible. the saka rauka just dont have the good armies that pahalva can field. and once in a blue moon when the pahlavans get strong you will have a problem on your hands because their army is just plain superior to yours but thats unlikely because youre prolly going to head straight for them to make sure they never reach their zenith anyway.

Nice work Cute Wolf! Now thats what I call a lucky and succesfull Nomad out there
Here have a baloon: for your Saka victory.

Are you planing to take over the rest of the world later on?

But allow me a more reasenoble question: how did you manage the finances? In my camapign I always have trouble to keep the money coming althouh I have lots of teritory...

@fleaza: I agree on that, one of the first objectives of a Saka lord should be to make the Bactrians the subject people there ment to be, and to return the Pahlavs to the true life of a nomad.

A Hun General... thanks for the Baloon...

I did jump into a debt... heavy debt in the first turns... but rampaging Baktrian territory is worth it... especially after their city with Mine "accidentaly revolt" to me...... (pure accident, and hey, there was metalleia... ).... my initial force are always horse archers, and I only start using cata's in the middle of the game.... The funniest thing are just one... most of the time... I was just looking Baktrian fullstack meet with Pahlavan fullstack at my border... and then... what I was fought was depleted halfstacks... (guess what's happned here...) both AI are incredibly "stupid" this time... they are at war each other until die.....

After uploading some pics into photobucket, I'll start writing my AAR...

Congratiolations with this conquering, I will try myself in the Summer holiday now I see this. I only completed one Nigh-Possible campaign yet (I also tried only one!), Pontos.

you know that process_cq is considered a cheat by most? Also, campaign should be played on VH... But all in all good job
