Sauromatae now in 189 BC:

I'm trying to give back the Getai their homeland back as it's not in my VC's , also using the Ptolies as a buffer against what's left of the Seleucids, the last eastern Seleucid province will fall within the year.
In Greece I took Pella for myself gave Demetrias to Epeiros and now I'm trying to track the KH who are holed up in Messana to give them Athens and maybe Sparta after I raid them very soon but I can't get there:

The Romans blocked the Sicily crossing as the Carthies landed there too.
The Lusitans and Romans seem equally matched on the western front and the Aedui are thinking how the hell did they lose their great empire so quickly (look some posts behind for more of my posts)
The Romans have landed!!!

A roman army landed on Lesbos and laid siege to my city so my first battle vs the romans is about to begin hope i can get a ceasefire after the victory as I'm not bordering them anywhere (I was but gave Sarmiszegethusa to the Getai)
I started recruiting Drapanai, Komatai and Iaosatae in my armies and are great complements to my HAs and very few Galatian Wild-men. I really enjoy getting new troops to build in my allied states and thinking of new army compositions. I tried not to use phalanxes as it would be too easy and conventional (hammer&anvil) but rather my cheap spearmen or "freed people" as I call them Galatians, Thracians, Getai, Hindus and the rest of the people that love my regime of low taxes and all I ask for is green pastures for my herds. Well of course I exterminated them when I conquered but they forget quickly enough
Saba is stationing some troops along my border but have kept out my territories after the beating I gave them about a decade ago.
My caravans are crossing my entire empire from India to Pella which is just sweet.
That's all for now.
