Marian reforms for me

Finishing off Pontos and KH,just started slaughter of Maks and will soon invade Aegyptus and then the Levant...oh,and I'm filthy rich...so rich I could pave a road with mnai to stretch from one corner of my empire to the other ...

Life is great... ... just like this mod

You'd best hope Baktria doesn't conquer those two surrounded Pahlavan provinces, else your game will come to a very abrupt end.

Very impressive, however, Kudos. I take it you built a hell of a lot of trade buildings.

[Tarkus]

Good Lord, Olimpian!! How did you manage to get to where you are by 198BC??!!??!!??

3.8 million mnai...?! How could "a hell of a lot of trade buildings" even lead to this?

Why is that?Does the game end if the AI obtains the VC?That would be a bummer ...i wanna finish off the ptolies first.Still,Pahlava are their protectorate so they shouldn't attack them too soon.

As for the money... ...I don't know...I keep taxes as high as I can,garrisons just enough to keep cities from revolting,schools everywhere so governors can become very good administrators,trade buildings always a priority(built even those expensive and time-consuming "extensive small trading port upgrade"s),small regional armies to keep rebels away,mercs only when I'm short on men in a critical situation,and not too many stacks out there:3 guarding my borders in Europe,2 in Libya in case ptolies conquer Carthage and think of attacking me,and 6 in Asia Minor to do the conquering.....and my money just keeps shooting up.

No, it won't happen. It can't. The victory script is only enabled for the player.

Well it could be possible to make it work for AI too, right? I would like to do this change in my EBBS just to put some pressure on myself. Otherwise, I am too lazy, you know...

Look at Hayasdan. Wow. Never seen that before.

It's not that special. They often get into a war against the Sauromatae, who suffer from HAs' weakness in auto-calc'd battles, and so Hayasdan then becomes the great Caucaso-Sarmatic empire.

Hayasdan rarely moves out of the Caucasus in my campaigns, despite all my efforts to go hostile against the Sarmatians...

Interesting, usually in my games they either
a) sit around doing nothing (almost all factions do this in some games... some sort of an AI failure?)
b) Take the Caucasian rebel provinces
or
c) take the Caucasian rebel provinces AND then go north (happens quite often)

What makes this interesting is that I've never seen a humongous Bactria in my games, which seems to be happening for other people quite a bit. 'Tis a shame, since I like Bactria, at least more so than AS or the Ptolies. 8)
