    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.

    Still on my first campaign (I'm a RTR vet) in EB, as the Romani. And I really have to say that it's kinda weird in this version of Mediterranean history.

    Carthage was quickly expelled from Iberia, and my first movements were to crush the Epirote territories. Within fifty or so turns, all of AS was absorbed by the Ptolemies and Baktria. The Balkans were under Getic control in the north, and almost all of the south was Makedon. Damned if I know how a band of Hellenes escaped the slaughter, slipped past the Thracians and fought off the Sauro Matae long enough to establish a new empire for themselves on the north coast of the Black Sea.

    The Casse have stayed in the UK, Aedui rule almost all of Gaul, with a tiny (and hugely defended) settlement in the Swiss Alps remaining in Arverni control.

    The Sweboz, for some reason beyond me, had a full stack stuck on an uninhabited island between Denmark and Scandanavia for close to 125 years.

    Later, Ptolemies crushed the Hai, and Pontus, Baktria dealt with the Saka, and ended up forcing the Pahlav into India.

    Makedon decides it wants turkey for itself, and now own most of it.

    Oh, and I bribed the settlement at Charax.

    Roman campaign, around 252BC: New campaign tonight, new "strange" things. Saka is pushing Baktria deep into AS territory, like a blue wedge stretching all the way to Persepolis. Ptolemaioi rules Asia Minor and the AS is one settlement away (Seulukia) from being geographically split into a nothern and southern kingdom. Pahlva has one settlement left, Gava-Mazskata, with only 1 army of 5 units and a 3 unit city garrison, Saka Rauka is coming for them too.

    The Aedui has, for the first time in all my campaigns, been viciously attacked by the Arverni. Although they don't have lost any territories, they have no armies left and each of their city has a garrison of no more than 3-4 soldiers. It's their whole armies decided to disband. The Arverni on the other hand, roams Gaul with 9-10 fully stacked armies...
