Just a small update - The Pontus now took Sidone and Mazaka so now he totals three cities.Not bad for a dying nation.We are still allied and so my east border is protected.I think having a diplomat at their capital and offering a small gift works - at least Getai havent attacked since round 1.
I had 4~5 years of peace and prosperity.Cash flows $$$ but well AI doesnt like peaceful eras so here comes the Seleucid out of nowhere claiming Minor Asia.I have fortified the bridge in Tarsus but he attacked three time with cataphracts and elite phalangitai! I only managed two times.The third I fled :-P
Then he attacks Pontus.BUT Pontic armies are very experienced and well rounded (kudos to Scythe chariots) so he fails miserably there too :-D
Had a map negotiation with Romans.They are stuck at the peninsula, while carthagenian has taken all west africa, south spain and south France.He also holds Sicily.I think this is a fine opportunity to invade the "Italian Peninsula" claim Epirus bases there - they were Spartan colonies after all :-P- and then either fighting the Romans or restoring Magna Grecia.The resources are there the manpower and tech also, so I think any kind of plan is viable.
I wouldn't like to hurt the Getai (although their mines are tempting), since they have been loyal allies and friends.Plus they are at war with Sauromatai and maybe I should grab the opportunity and attack Pantikapaion that is under Sauromatai authority - it is our right by legacy after all :-D
What is impressing, is the way the AI plans its strategy towards other AI controlled nations.In vanilla in that point it should be me vs ALL, lol
Anyway I am open to ideas, impressions or details of your KH campaigns.If not having one, its never late to start one.I assure it's worth it, every minute of gameplay. :-))
