[Reverend Joe]

I am really diggin' the Gray Death... eat your heart out, Xerxes!

[Gaivs]

Wow thats quite astonishingly close to Alexanders empire!

[The Celtic Viking]

Can't agree more with you, guys. Not too sure I'm looking forward to taking them on, though...

But hey, I've got my gaesatae, so I'm not scared! If the Galatians could fight their way to and settle in Asia minor, the proud warriors of Arverni can do the same.

[Teleklos Archelaou]

I have a campaign right now where a separate "Aedui" faction is doing well for itself north of Epeiros. It was probably a rebellion that caused it, but it might end up being the only place the Aedui survive, which would be sort of cool.

[Ayce]

You might want to call them Scordisci in that case.

[Ower]

This is my curent Aedui campain. Just look at the Yellow Nightmere.
You know what is the most frightening about it? The ptolies have like 4 full stacks in between Byzantion and Pella. They are in war with the Seleucid (what remains from them) the KH and the Saba. Are alied to Pahlava, Kahardastim, Hayasdan. They actually held Byzantion 2 times but it rebeled, both times, they even took Pella from the Macs. (they Shwaloved Pontos like it was nothing)
Which wrew finished off next turn by the KH in Demitrias. The Macedonians stood strong for quit a while, holding Theremon (sp?), and Pella - swithcing with the KH in Demitrias.
The Bactria is fighting the Seleucid, and Pahlava, for dominance. Although hey have more troops both their foes give quit a resistance - Pahlava even occationali besieges one of the nortern Bactrian starting cities.
(Pahlava became what she is now, actually with my help, I send a few spies and a diplomad ocer there to keep status quo between them and the Saka who were quit large - all additional step holdings of the Pahlava velonged to the Saka before. (but after I left the area, the pahlava turned the tide, and as I returned to observe they had the Saka homelad in posesion but it rebeled, somehow the war ended through diplomacy (not sure who with who))
Hay is doing his normal stuff, but suprisingly they actually united the Caucasus.
Epirus and KH fought the Macs for ages until the Ptolies did not decide they want a piece of Europe as well. Right now both of them are at ware with the Getai - lost Naisos to the Eps. And fight over Tylis with the KH, and over Olbia (rebelions) and the Cryme.
As for me. I took out the Arweni quit early, Gatheret most of the men and send them to Vesontio, and a smaler detachmen to Viennos- almoust undefended. Had a bit luck, they send most of their full stack army against mine, so I took it out in the field, and had no problem with the citie, next I send the army straigth to Georgovia, and again had luck, My general run out of movement on a river crrosing and the dreadfull fullstack from the Arveni capital with Gaesatae was massacred. In the same time, I alreaddy had Patvium and it was cleare that the would attac me from bonia so I attacked the would be attacking stact at my dors, first and continued to take on Rome, first tain Bonnia then Warding off some sieges, till units from gaus came, after wich I went all the way down to Rome, After SPQR was reduced to Capua and Arpi I made them my protectorad, and cept the south in a stalemale between Romans, Epirus (Taras, Rhegio and latter Messana) and Kahardastim (Syracus and Libelao). Had some fights with the Sweboz, which took me into Belgia liberating them from germanic opresion. It was an continuos swithcing between peace and war, with them -they alwys managed to get som full stact on me. The Lusotanns took numatia nad the settlements directli over and belov them, making advances to Epiron, So I took it first, and then wathcen as Kahardastim took Baikor and after my actions(spies) they went to war with each other. I had almout all of France ath that time modern belgium and and Nothern half off Italy, and entered Times of Soldiers. The Lussotans attacked shortly after, so I prepared 2 Armies, with Gaesatae, Slingers, Archers, Neios, Bataroas and Spearmen, and advanced through Spain, taking Numatia and then Velika Palantia(sp?) next advancing by taking Oxtraca. The second army took Baikor which rebeled from Khahardastim to the Lusotans, and there Finaly Cartago betrayed his ally. So I took the punic cities, and made Arse rebel( went to KH, then I bought it) - kicking them out of Iberia. Well they send all theyr might to Sicily, With 3 fulstacs, being shiped there making short work with the weakened Epirus. so I had to dash all my sunits out off Iberia to Italy to fight them. (2 stacs had both like 7 elite african pikemen ) I fought 3 nasty battles whit those stacks - I obliterated them.
now bessiging Arpi and Rhegio. In the first battle with a weaker army I made good use of the Roman army which stood right next to me when we were attacked, I let the romans engage the Kahardastim forces, and then swept in from the flank, using 2 Gaesatae units for rear attack egainst the elits and routing them.

So that is where I am, now. Warding off the Sweboz, The powero of Kartago broken, Sicily is mine. And then I will advance agains the Germanic annoyance, so I can prepare for the Apocalyptical clash with the Ptolies.
