Post your EB empires!

Believe it or not, he actually just died on his own - I hadn't planned for him to get killed off, but the game randomly selected to kill him, and so I just decided to run with it and see how things play out. However, I have considered the possibility of using rebel stacks (or pirate fleets) when the civil war begins and I have to start offing family members. -M

That's odd cause he was quite young no?

Not so much - he was in the middle of his second consulship after all. IIRC, I think he was around 60, which is still a little on the young side, but isn't too unusual. -M

LOL! 60 isn't really my definition of "young". If he had been like 18 and died with no reason it would have been quite scary.

Heh, true that - I think it'd actually be pretty cool if the EB team could have the game kill off the occasional family member really early - it would kind of make the whole thing seem more real - although it would really suck to have your potential reformator die at 30. Probably doesn't matter though - it's likely hard-coded anyway. -M

Hmm yeah that be interesting, but it's probably hard-coded.

I had a cool Carthage game going. I was sieging Capua and Arpi with a Libyan army with Elephants, and a Samnite army with some Gauls too. I didn't take any pictures, and I like to accidentally save over my cool saved games. I'll post pictures of my cool Roman game later though.

Haaa. totaly NOT cool! as sweboz, I've already trouble tp keep my FM live until 40 coz of my house rule of ''FM always in the first front line...'' if they had to die from flu catch from a moskito bite at 24... that's be the end of the shit

A (very) short update.

ΑΡΧΗ ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΙΚΗ 143 BC

The Parthians invaded from the North and since ΑΥΛΟΣ ΘΕΣΣΑΛΟΝΙΚΕΥΣ was in charge of the northern army he had to take care of the problem.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The Parni used Kataphraktoi and Hippotoxotai en masse and inflicted heavy losses on the Hellenic side.
To make matters worse the Makedonike commander died in the heat of the battle, which caused the Babylonian heavy infantry to rout.
The rest of the army held their ground and rather than lose heart over their commander's had died, they were inspired to perform glorius feats on the battlefield.

The battle ended in Makedonian triumph:

Back in ἙΛΛΑΣ a new plague had gained a foothold, killing thousands.

While all this happened ΒΑΣΙΛΕΥΣ ΟΛΥΜΠΙΑΔHΣ conquered Karmania and Gedrosia in a matter of months.
Everything was going according to plan except for the loss of the Strategos of the Northern forces, which left the north vulnerable for Parni incursions and the remaining Makedonian forces in the area had to barricade themselves into the cites of Zadrakata and Hekatompylos and await ΟΛΥΜΠΙΑΔHΣ return from the South.
