Manifest Destiny: A Massalian AAR

[Megas Methuselah]

Thanks for the comments, guys! Unless you've written an AAR yourself, you wouldn't believe how much your posts mean to me!

How did Seimias get the Gobre trait?

give_trait "Seimias Ptolemaios" GaulArra 4(or 3? I can't remember, either 4 or 3)

I suppose you can call me a cheater if you want, but I use this to roleplay my characters. Remember when I keep saying he was the basileus (king) of Emporion? Well, Emporion is a type 4 government, but it doesn't have a normal client ruler. I gave the governorship of Emporion to Pauron Ptolemaios (he's in Chapter I) and his descendants, but since they couldn't govern it like normal governors (they become interlopers), I gave them the traits "Type4Governor." I roleplay that my Type 4 governments are independant poleis that are part of the Massalian League, dominated by Massalia, but still autonomous. So being a governor of one of these poleis means you're an independant king, which is much superior to being a satrapal governor of a type2 or type3 government. (I modded Epeiros' governments so that type2's and 3's are satrapies like the Macedonians)

But, how did you start in Messalia?

I just migrated my faction there at the start, switched the name from Epeiros to Epeirote-Massalia, killed off some unwanted FM's in the war against Macedon, and... ta-daaa!

Galatia is very awesome.

I know, eh?! They're currently having an epic struggle against Pontus right now. I though they would roll right over Pontus, but somehow Pontus decided it was strong enough to fight back. I like Galatia's unit roster though, they're using bataros, gaeroas, lugoae, celto-hellenic spearmen, thureophoroi, hoplites, and thracians of all sorts. They're so cool! They even fought a war against the Gallathraikioi (formerly the Casse) and made them a protectorate after taking Byzantion!
