It is 208 bce in my campaign, and I am preparing my legions for the Invasion of Africa, once it is done it will be Hellas next. The Hellenes are my allies,but can do nothing to fight against Macedon. Early in the they raised two full stalks on Rhodes, but when their fleet sailed to bring these troops to Hellas they where sunk by pirates and the Macedonian fleet. Why they didnt raised another fleet may be because they are bankrupt, and recently lost Chalkis and Athens to the Macedons.

As for my northern neighbors, i was allied with the Averni, and the Aedui attacked my city of Masillia circa 240 bce. So we went to war, and a long war it was, from 236 to 226 bce. I captured Mediolanum and Gergovia, the later I gave it to the Averni. In the end after 3 pitched battles the Aedui king accepted Rome's peace terms. But when the Macedons attacked the city of Ambrakia, the Averni broke their alliance with me, so I offered alliance to the Aedui, which very wisely accepted. And I am also allied with the Sweboz.

But the alliance between the plomies, Pahlava and Bactria as already been broken as the Bactrians invaded Pahlava territory. So let see what happens next.

cheers.
