What's the slowest you've expanded?

[zenisar]

Arche Seleukeia, VH/VH, reached 176 BC and still did not achieve victory conditions, maybe even not started conquering Greece. It was my first campaign in EB, I still remember some memorable battles of my phalanx against Pahlava horsmen, sometimes winning, sometimes losing, always with high losses. The original family line died out with some crippled faction leader and was replaced by some able and very influential governor.

[QuintusSertorius]

In my new, slower Pergamon game, I've still got just Mysia in 259BC. Just concluded a war with the Seleukids; at the beginning of the game I'd switched Epeiros' default alliance with the Ptolemies to the Seleukids, and they'd ignored me for the longest time. Within a few seasons of breaking the alliance, they attacked. I defeated several armies, took Ipsos and Sardis and destroyed the military infrastructure (barracks and blacksmith), then walked away. While I don't like the impact of destroying barracks on army compositions, I'm not going to be advancing in that direction (or any direction, for that matter) for a long time, so hopefully by the time things kick off again, they'll have rebuilt proper barracks. Plus stops them depleting their local populations in the meantime.

Although relatively speaking I certainly have a slowest campaign, I fear this is not my thread to get mixed up in...
