well i mean post Pyrrhus :-P

well by the time you can take on Getai, they may have spread too far. they only had 3 cities by 265, but with 2 full stacks. I sent my newly reformed professional army (i took Hellas with my levies and semi professionals) to siege their two main cities, knowing their stacks would attack and bring the inhabitants of the cities as well allowing me to shatter their army and take the city in one stroke. I defeated both armies but with some very crazy fighting, the wolves truly were fighting for their homeland! rewarding the bravery of the Getai i didn't sell anyone into slavery, their manpower is useful in my new armies :-)


The Ptolemaioi are struggling real bad against Seleukeia. They lost all posessions in Asia Minor and are desperately clinging to Jerusalem. The Romans have spread all the way to Emporion westward, but i currently have magna Graeca and Sicily and i intended to give it to Rome, but i'm not sure anymore as the greeks there seem to prefer my rule to anyone else. the reason I have all of sicily and the epirotes are completely dead is that the Epirotes of Magna Graec dared attack Syrakuse! I convinced Hero with some gold and my own reputation that being a friend of Macedona is better than being my enemy.

The Carthaginians of Lilibeo also had a full stack of elites which made the Syrakusans and Messanians now under my control very uncomfortable. I defeated it in a surprise night attack and after some hard fighting, my greatest losses yet!, i had victory. i took Lilibeo, killing their shopet Hamalcar and his son Hamalcar. With this huge set back i have the Carthaginian's paying me large tribute until all eternity. lest they want the Macedonian's in Carthage itself :-)

So far I have ended The KH, The Epirotes, and the Dacians. who's next? muahaha
