Can you post a picture with the FOW turned off?
The Ptolemaic Empire is impressive!!
However, if you don't take the Ptolemies into consideration, the situation doesn't seem that bad. Good luck with it!

Seems the Carthagenians are making a little "comeback", thats what I get for giving them the right to be a cliant state.



Sorry I forgot to turn the FoW off, I'll be sure to do it the next time.

Edit*

I didn't think anyone would be this intereasted in my campaigns, maybe I'll make an AAR on my next campaign.

The Ptolies for sure are a problem... a most impressive one... But in gaul you should be able to destroy your enemies. After finnising of the Arverni, go for the carthaginans. The iberian mines will boost your economy even more. Hold the line at the hellespont, this should be possible with one larger fleet and one or two stacks of troops. If possible, ally yourself with the Koinon Hellenion and Pontos (or at least give them some money for fighting against the ptolies), they are an important buffer. Probably, if you conquer Kyrene, you can even hand it to the KoiHell or the maks, to have a little buffer in northern africa too.
Avoid being sucked in the sandwars in northern africa against the ptolies, stay on the defensive, build city walls and probably some forts, occupy river crossings to make every advance as costy as possible for them. Probably you can even attack the ptolies coastlines with a halfstack on a fleet: raids in Alexandria, Sidon, Antiochia and others will seriously damage their economy. Storm the town, massacre the inhabitants, destroy every destroyable building. with a little bit of luck, you will be able to change the coastal cities in rebellious hotbeds, raising against their ptolie-overlords every possible time. If you are making a raid for example against Sidon, you can also hire merchenaries and send them on raids deeper in ptolie-land (for example Damascus,...). The money from plunder will cover the mercenaries costs. When you have finished the Carthaginans in Iberia and northern Africa, you can turn your full attention against the Ptolies. Make sure to secure the rhine - and if possible, the danube- border against the northern barbarians (by occupying the rivercrossings). It will be an interesting campaign. Good luck!
