    Well your modern day geography seems a bit off... Modern day Italy?

    Yeah, I meant modern day Turkey, was thinking Turkey and typing Italy apparently.

    I'm fairly certain the inhabitants of both would be quite offended by that mix-up.

    Hmmm...I'm nearly 100 years into a KH game and Pontos has two cities. Maybe they'll do something soon.

    Pahlava surprised me, they completely crushed the Seleucids after a long period of non-expansion. One time I checked on them and they were fighting for their lives, the next time I checked they'd formed a full fledged empire.

    I find that AI factions tend to sit alone with massive fullstack armies (I'm looking at you Hayasdan) and not do anything even when there are rebel settlements around them.

    Then sometimes they just snap and conquer a huge swath of land. Other factions like the Epirots in most of my games just explode at the beginning but then they stagnate and slowly fade away. Can't understand how the games turn out so differently every time even when the starting situation is always the same and I have had no influence on the selected factions or their neighbours.
