So here is my parthian campaign, 196 BC:



It's some kind of a dualistic campaign, as the AI factions fight longlasting wars, like the Saka and the Baktrians, fighting for ages over Alexandreia-Eschate (sp?), which made it easier for me to go west and fight the AS until the line Arbela-Seleukia/Babylon-Charax.
The AS and the Ptolemaioi were also fighting intensely, which made it easier for me to go east and destroy the Baktrians and the Saka and take the Indian rebel provinces. I'm at war with Pontos and with the Sabeans at the moment...using chevroned HAs against unarmed desert warriors is like using a machine gun... Hayasdan didn't attack me so far, even though we share a border for a very long time, but they are dueling with the Sauros somewhere in the Steppes.

Very interesting will become the duel between the Lusotannan and Carthage, who destroyed the Romans collectively, but are at war with each other and are fighting fiercely in Italy. The KH and the Getai destroyed Epeiros just a few turns ago, so it will be interesting as well, how things will develop on the Balkan.
