Still taking advantage of AI passiveness to go at a slow pace. The QH have been reduced to only Tuat. I took Garama and used FD to gift it to the Saba.

My plan of taking Lepki to provoke the Ptolamaoi worked, and I've decided to go after the soft underbelly of their mighty empire. After taking Kyrene they sent one stack after another to try and recover it to no avail. I then brought my African legion over to take Augila and then next Ammonion, which I also gave to the Saba. Leaving Ammonion I was attacked by a full stack and narrowly escaped with a win. Easily the toughest battle of my campaign. I'm currently beseiging Paraitonion, and here come the stacks.

I still haven't bothered with the Luso's yet. Just when I was going to start war with them, I got lucky and Arse went rebel, so I quickly grabbed it up while avoiding opening another front. They still haven't made any moves, anywhere, since becoming a protectorate so I'll just let them be for awhile.

Things have also been quiet to the north. I'm currently only at war with the Averni and they'll occasionally send a stack my way, but I've had little trouble defeating them. Taking QS's advice, I gifted a couple of Gallic settlements to the Casse, but they haven't done much of anything either. They took one pitiful run at the Sweboz, beseiging a settlement with one unit and were easily repelled.

The Aedui are still hanging on. They did eventually lose back the settlements I gifted them earlier to the Sweboz, but they've been successful at defending Vindobona and Patavium. After 140+ years of peace, they currently have two pitiful stacks menacing Bononia. I hope they don't go suicidal now and decide to attack me.

The KH have been on the move, wiping out Epiros rather quickly after they dropped their protectorate status. However, the Ptoly's have just started to encroach on their holdings, taking Byzantimum and Pella.
