3rd Reich?

**vizigothe** · 04-13-2006, 01:45

Has anybody else seen the Sweboz expand in huge amounts? In 20 years they have almost quadrupled their empire. In about 255 BC they were confined to their orginal provinces, now they are north of the alps and east of the alps moving east and south. They are also expanding east fighting the Averni. As Rome they are starting to scare me. Makedon just attack and I have to deal with them as well as a rebellion in Iberia.

Thanks for making this game hell guys!

I believe that would make them the 1st Reich...

All factions have the possiblity of expanding in huge amounts save the Yuezhi, Sumoratae, and Casse.

So it's not out of the ordinary. If the Casse spread to the mainland by 1 province, by means of conquest or if Carthage attacked Rome- then I'd be floored.

Funny you mention that, in my game as Baktria (haven't gotten to play in about a week), the Carthaginians sent a full stack against Rome before either got to E. Sicily. Bypassed Syracuse and Messana and Bruttium, headed straight for Capua. Next time I play I'll have to load, so who knows what that'll do to the Carthaginian army.

prepare to be floored!

This is one of the games from the saved games thread I'm playing around with.

The casse landed a full stack on the mainland and finally took Bratosporios from the aedui after several tries.

Well I never! I've played multiple campaigns and this is the first time I've seen the Casse expand offshore.

One of the reasons we quickly provided the .73a patch was the discovery that we accidentally gave the Casse - as their cheap, starter vessel - the Poeni Penterai in v.73. They absolutely annihilated every other vessel in the north atlantic, baltic, and anywhere else they cared to sail. The coastlines of all Europe were their oyster.

(So aside from the "complete fantasy" problem, this would very likely have increased the number of their invasions)

Was that my Roman game that i posted? I remember before i abandoned it that the Casse landed an army there, sieged the town and then left, went back to Britain.
