3rd 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)

Something appears to have happened to the Sweboz in my Hayasdan campaign

They haven't moved by 227BC

Quite a surprise, because in my .72 Aedui campaign, they were attacking four of my cities with full stacks simultaneously at 234.

The Sweboz in my campaign have 2 cities, tiny armies and their capital is under constant siege from 3 full stacks of rebels. The year is about 215BC right now, they once had a 3rd city but it rebelled and went to the Gauls who also got a free 20 unit stack from it.

ORB, check to see if they became another factions protectorate. This may account for their passive game play.

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.

yeah that's the one. They landed several other stacks and finally took the settlement.

great game by the way! I'm still strying to beat the maks, all of their armies are made up of elite units and their treasury is over 500k lol

**Dayve** · 04-13-2006, 23:41

Yeah i got tired of just wading through army after army and never getting anywhere because another army would take its place... Plus the new traits file came out and it wasn't SG compatible so i quit... How are my family members doing!?

**Orb** · 04-17-2006, 07:57

The Sweboz aren't anyone's protectorate but have now, in the space of four years taken another 4 towns, and are about to take a sixth. They have Romans on their southern border, whom they are allied to. They have gauls on their west, whom they are not allied to.

pretty fast expansion here.

**vizigothe** · 04-17-2006, 16:09

The Sweboz took Segesta (but it rebeled) and they are starting to cross into Macedon and into the Getai citys. It is quite insane. All in the span of 20 years, they went from nothing to a massive empire.
