0.8x AI Faction Progression

[Cadeyrn]

Looking at this I'm happy to see nearly all the barbarian factions actually getting something done for a change.

@Omanes: looks like the Casse are doing terribly. I've never seen the Lusotana or the Getai do so well, though.

I meant to post some screens from my (now abandoned) Casse campaign here, but I'm visiting my parents today. Tomorrow I'll sort out my screenshots. Meanwhile...

The faction progression was pretty funny to watch. The Ptolemaioi took over the entire Levant and the Arche Seleukeia started crumbling as they also lost their possessions in Asia Minor. The Romani took over almost entire eastern Europe and parts of Gaul. I kicked them out of the latter, and while they were preoccupied with me the Epeirotes, who hadn't expanded much before that, started nibbling away Romani provinces as well. Then the KH, who held Makedon, Tessaly, Propontis and other parts around the Black Sea went to war with Epeiros and kicked them out of Epeiros proper.
At some point, Karthadast went to war with the Ptolemaioi and took Alexandria. Arche Seleukeia used this opportunity to annex their old homelands and Syria and started thriving again.
By 207 or so, Epeiros holds huge swathes of eastern Europe but none of their original homelands, KH is finally starting to lose lands against a resurgent Arche Seleukeia in Asia minor, the Getai have expired and the Romani are confined to Italy, a single province in modern Germany and the province Skythia where they can't recruit anything. Oh, the Makedones/Antigonids were still holding out on Lesbos for a long time till the Seleukids put an end to them.

In 2000 years, historians are going to have a tough time piecing the events in this time period together
