Qarthadast AAR

[Titus Marcellus Scato]

But the Seleucids are trying to re-create Alexander the Great's original empire. That means they will be invading Macedonia, and after they've wiped out Macedon, they'll be going after the southern Greeks - who are now Carthaginian allies.

So a major war is inevitable unless Carthage wants to abandon southern Greece before the Seleucids get there. One idea might be to offer all the cities of southern Greece to the Seleucids in exchange for Sidon.

And Kyrene. That is also part of the Qarthadast victory conditions.

@seleucid empire; hahaha, i don't think the AI ever thinks war with humans is NOT beneficial. Hopefully that is only a total war thing as this is the theme to every sci fi plot.



I played about 3-5 years last week and a half, but had fraps in the wrong folder...or something. meh. not too much happened. took pella, halikarnasos, and augila. Sacked some cities but didn't take them. Had some nice elites vs elites pics and even lost a battle. Oh well.

I plan on having the irl roman empire but with qarthadast (except maybe not gaul..though elephants in the alps is so tempting).

I plan on keeping greece the way it is. besides, my super generic greek armies are a lot of fun to use (basic archers, classical hoplites, & allied greek generals). it really feels like I have a powerful ally in Sparte. I just love what the team did with the whole gov system, lots of RP possibilities. I have always wanted to take Sparte with Xanthippos. since they attacked me and an athenian was governor of sparte, it seemed appropriate. the "Spartans" themselves may end up blitzing through Babylon and Persia eventually, that may be how I end up wiping out AS permanently.

was going to do a whole civil war thing as my shophet is supposed to be in Kart-Hadast but is out raging in greece and that pissed off the senate. I didn't know how to do a Carthage vs Carthage battle against ai so I changed all of that in my aar before posting. I was going to make it look like the Shophet won and declared himself King or dictator or something.

This is pretty fun, especially since I thought this campaign was gone forever when my motherboard died last october.

For civil wars within Quarthadast, you might want to look at this guide:

To do it more simply, you can use Force Diplomacy to give Carthaginian towns to Saba (in Africa), Lusotann (in Spain and Italy) or Koinon Hellenon (in Greece or Sicily.) Assuming these factions haven't been wiped out.

not much here. just tons and tons of battles. ran out of patience and formed a new cheat, a 'shared mic' association between my hellenic generals/client rulers and the provinces they liberate. if there is a L3 or 4 kh local mic, I process_cq equal. I want it to feel like the kh have merged with qarthadast. lame I know, meh.
