Post your EB empires!

[Ibn-Khaldun]

I like that all the units in your army are different! Most of the players would recruit only the best units.

[Arjos]

Ah Ah I love the little village holding up XD
GL to the Silengoz! (I think they r :P)
Btw gratz for your Anabasis ^^

As the great tactician that I am, I am a master at combining units for specialized operations. I can show you more if you like (my other 3 armies also are made this way). Since my empire is so vast, I love the Xerxes type idea of the thousands nations descending upon you. I'll have to take a screenshot first.

Thanks! The village actually is Arctaunon (Hattolandam in 1.0 and now called....). A strange one indeed, they held out with 4 FMs and a fullstack of troops. The FMs are all 10 command, 3 gold chev beasts. The other troops got killed in one of the 23? sieges they endured.

Maybe I can even rescue them? What should I do with them?

Thank you for posting this Fluvius! To answer your question, well yeah, kinda. I mean I know they must have have some kind of simpler list of requirements. But the fact that in any of my many many campaigns, I've never even seen Polybian troops, which made me wonder how the hell you managed to fight Marians. Btw, you wouldn't happen to know the exact requirements the AI needs for reaching the different Roman reforms would you?

[Arjos]

23 sieges lol!
They sure are worth of living as vassals at least :D

[Fluvius Camillus]

And I'm back again with the current situation:

The old commander of this army was a lot stronger, this is the first campaign of this man, he leads the army which conquered Qarthadast. The Thraikioi Rhomphaioi spot was filled up by a unit of Triballi in the Qarthadast campaign, that is why this unit is lacking experience.

This is the Italian army, I am especially proud of the mix of troops I have in this one. This is the historical Seleukos IV, a lot mightier than the historical one!

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

This is the army which destroyed the Hayasdan, it has just returned from a battle against 200 bodyguard cataphracts and a fullstack inside a steppe town. I still have to supplement some forces when I retrain but you can get a general idea of what it looked like. The leader is the son of Menekrates Syriakos (Seleukos III Keraunos), he is quite treacherous and I am glad Aristos is king and not him.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

It looks like they are not going to hold out for long, Arctaunon's army has shrunk considerably. A lot of FM's died in battle.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The family tree is still going historically correct, as you can see, Theodoros (Antiochos II) succeeded his father Antiochos I Soter. Kallinikos Syriakos (Seleukos II) was the king after Theodoros. His first son became basileus when he died (Menekrates Syriakos, Seleukos III Keraunos historically). His reign was quite longer than in history and although he had sons, I appointed his brother basileus after his death. That was Aristos Syriakos (Antiochos III Megas). He now has two sons, Hyperbas (Seleukos IV) leads the Italian army and show a lot of promise. His brother Hamaktyon (Antiochos IV Epiphanes) is with his father in the army, it doesnt seem like he will surpass his brother like in history but he will be Basileus anyway.

Looking good!

Hi guys! This is the Romani empire in 208BC.


Legions in Asia:
1º Asian legion - Commanded by a five stars general


2º Asian legion - Commanded by my greatest general, Vanquister of Makedonia, Vanquister of Siria, Vanquiter of Helenion Kingdon, Avenger of troia, Cebrated triumphant and faction leader amoung many other titles!


3º Asian Legion - Was been broken down by the heavy casualties. This legion will be replaced by the 1º Italian legion and his command will be offerer to the actual commander of the 2º Asian legion.
With out picture.

4º Asian Legion - Commanded by the second gretest roman general! 10 star general. Vanquister of Cartagians, Vanquister of Sirians (I have two generals with this title... I don't know why...), Celebrated triumphant!


I have more:
2 legions in North Espain.
1 Legion in Africa.
2 Legions in Italy. One of them are going to Asia, so, I'm trainig others in Rome and Capua.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

You still have Camillan troops?

[eo9o]

As you can see in those pictures, yes I have.
To use Marian's troops I need to upgrade the MICs and it cost a lot of money... so I up two MICs one in Rome and other in Capua and I'm trainig Marian's troops there. If I up all MIC, my Camilian troops will stay without support, and they are supporting all borders of the empire. I already have one full Marian's legion going to Asia to replace the old 3º Asian Legion.

Beautiful little empire there, CanOmer, makes me want to play a Romani campaign.

[Arkeolog4]

I completed the Sweboz campaign recently.It's the first campaign I've properly completed, I had done a Qarthadastim campaign before but it was on E/E, I used too many mercenaries, finished on 241 BC...Way too boring so I'm going to do a Qart-Hadast campaign again soon. I love the way it says that I have achieved overwhelming luck in the victory message I also have to say that those Bastarnae Falxmen are one of the best units in the games when flanking! They tear through everything!



My best FM was Ansuharjaz - Uniter of the Tribes, Greatest War Leader, Avid Administrator -



I had to kick Rome's ass in my game because they betrayed our alliance. Well, taking Italy and raiding wonders there got my economy able to support 3 fullstacks - so maybe I should be grateful they attacked. When I was planning to attack the Arvernian-Arvernitic whatever Gaul after my conquest of Italy, I saw Lusotana blitz Gaul in about five years so I had to fight against many fullstacks to take those Gaul settlements. The fighting climaxed near Bibracte, with 3 Lusotannan armies against one of my armies and 2 of my Arverni allies. I have to say that it's good to have allies!

My world in 199 BC for those of you who want to see it:



Sorry for any mistakes I might have made in grammar!

Lovely Swêboz empire Arkeolog4!

[Tanit]

I'll see about posting a map later, but I just wanted to relate this hilarious occurrence from my Qarthadastim campaign.

Empire currently includes Iberia, Italy, Greece, Egypt, North Africa, Jerusalem, Sidon and the British Isles save one province. No FD and Rome, KH, Lusotannon and Parthia have been removed from the game. Soon to be joined by the Casse. Current Year 204 BC, winter.

Hilarious Tanit.

[Lazy O]

Quite common that is in large battles. I have had entire units of cataphracts stuck in them ( Multiplayer battles )

[CanOmer]

Pontos VH/M
At first, it was very hard to survive. Seleucids occupied my capital then my people revolted and I got my capital back.
After many bloody years I succeed to unite Anatolia. Now I am creating a naval force in the great port of Antiocheia.
There are too many mines in Anatolia, and I developed many of them. Now I have great income.:)

Yes, it's a known bug. It happens in vanilla as well, but for some reason it's more common in EB.

[Yavana]

Here is screen from my first game in EB (before I finished one campaign in vanilla and one in BI). Played on VH/VH - Little difficulties at the beginnig but later it was just too easy, AI is just too stupid. No cheats used.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

You did started the EBBS script, right?

[Yavana]

By clicking "Show me how" in right top corner? Sure.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Sry, I had to ask because that date is 157. I don't think I never played any campaign that far! Good game!

[kidpacific]

Can anybody just tell me what to do to recruit Kleruchoi Phalangitai?

As far as i know, pontus needs lv4 regional MIC to recruit Kleruchoi Phalangitai. You can access the AOR in recruitment viewer.

[stratigos vasilios]

My 209 BC campaign. Guess who I am! It's pretty easy.

[JeffVader]

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.

And finally i could finish my parthian campaign! At last i destroyed the Hay in the Steppes and the seleucid buffer i had in egypt to not border Carthage! The Sauros didn't attack me so far, what i think is a little bit surprising and so the only enemy i have at the moment is Saba and KH, but KH didn't bother me for several years now, as they are busy in Illyria fighting the Getai and the Lusos.

But the fight in italy is the real beautiful development in my campaign! First the Lusotannan smashed Carthage, until they only had Lilibeo left but then Hannibals successors shipped some elites and elephants to sicily and are now pressing the Lusotannan back north, supported by my spies who help making the southern italian cities rebel to bind the troops.

So it was a really nice campaign and i still have to decide, if i continue or if i start a new one and if then, with what faction.
