Defendable Territory

[Omanes Alexandrapolites]

Hi again Athena the Femme Fatale,
Thanks very much for the map! May I suggest that, for future expansion and defend ability that you consider focusing Romanisation and expansion around this region:

This great region, probably the best on the map for defence, due to it's huge amount of highly conveniently situated rivers - is very easy to defend and expand into. Down north from Vicus Venedae there is a great river bordering between yourself and Campus Scythii with two passes on it. There is also a feild of dense impassable forest and a mountain with an easy to defend pass separating you from the settlement of Campus Iazyges. Further East and slightly North is Domus Dulcis Dormus (Home Sweet Home as it would be known as in modern English). That settlement is also conveniently surrounded by rivers that split your regions up from the vast and ugly forests of Barbaric Germania. Expanding into the regions mentioned can really help you in your future conquests by providing you with a mighty and well protected base to build up armies during the civil war.

After your northern expansion you have the ability to go down South into another great and easily defendable region! Taking Campus Iazyges, which is almost surrounded by epic rivers, and then taking a trip into Porolissum, also surrounded by rivers, followed by venturing into Campus Gatae, will both leave you with all of the most defendable regions on the map and with the barbaric Scythians almost completely and utterly surrounded. Also this great region will hopefully be critical in holding your ground against the Brutii in the civil war.

Good luck with the rest of your campaign, cheers!
