Here is my campaign as SPQR. It is 227 BC and currently I am at war with a number of nations but primarily my long time ally the Aedui have turned against me and we are having a nasty fight in northern Italy.

As for the other factions:

Carthage has been destroyed by me.

Lusotanne have practically done nothing.

Getai have done nothing.

Casse have done well to take Britain but will they ever invade?

Aedui and Sweboz are powerful (Note Galatia).

Makedon has been reduced.

Allied Greeks have been reduced to Rhodes and any provinces that rebel to them.

Pontus is rich.

Baktria has Pavlava and Saka as their protectorates.

Sarmatians are doing well.

Armenia is hanging on.

AS are down to 1 province.

Saba was doing well but the dirty Ptolemies are running all over them.

Speaking of which, they are my only ally (Ptolemic Egypt, I hope it lasts).

So far Baktria is not at war with the Ptolemies, but I hope they get started soon and waste LOTS and LOTS of resources while doing it.

My stragetic goals are to built up Byzantium as a fortress against Eastern powers coming into Europe. Also take all of Iberia. Finish off Epirus. Go into Gaul.

Perhaps by that time it the Marian reforms will have passed and I can take on my greatest foe: Ptolemic Egypt.

My foreign policy has been as such: Take alliances when offered. Take territory by attacking Allies enemy (ally with KH, attack Makedon and Epirus across the water, ally with Aedui, attack Averni).

This did not hold true with Carthage. When they started marching two stacks into Italy from Sicily I broke off Military access treaty. Next turn they kept advancing I broke off all treaties. THEN IT WAS ON! It was on until I completely finished them in Mastia (South East Iberia).
