Germania

*slaps forehead* Man, you just made me dig out all my accessories all over again. I buried them in the backyard after I switched to Mundus Magnus. Now I'm so tired, that big big battle between my balanced 2nd Legion and the unbalanced 20--chariot-unit Pontus army can wait.

has anyone ever dealt with a strong seleucid empire as germania? i did once, in the twilight hours of my last game with them. it was a fluke they managed to conquer the east and most of scythia -- although my removing of desert cavalry's armour piercing ability has changed things for egypt. my empire included gaul, dacia, western scythia, britannia, northern italy, and thrace. that was quite possibly the most fun i had fighting someone in any campaign...even though their mass pikemen and elephants cost me dearly with each battle. i was eventually smashed pretty badly in the mountains near tarsus,though. a loss i never really recovered from

Nope, never fought a strong seleucid empire in vanilla. That is an oxymoron, no such thing exists.

In Mundus, well, it's much harder not to have a strong Seleucid empire since I've modded down the egyptian chariot stats and desert cavalry, and elephant stats in general. And, well, they don't have to conquer much of the east, they own it. So nope, never. Did I mention as the Germans in Mundus, I took down all their elephant resource cities first thing? They never bothered me much after that, even though they DID have 5 full stacks in Asia Minor alone.
