Strangest development of other faction in your campaign?

Mindboggling, that one. The winds of fate come and go. o.O

In other news, Makedonia is intent on recreating Alex's empire. It's heading east, and is already besieging Edessa and Arbela. Cool. And the AS, though, they're expanding north into the steppes via the Pahlava territories. I've never seen it so far north before. I've had to give the Saka, Sauromatae and Pahlava quite a few hoplitai units to hold them off, otherwise with the stupid autocalc system, the horsearchers would lose everytime.
