Egypt

[Skandaz.Imperator]

The key seems to be whether the Ptolies manages to capture Antiochiea early or not. In my Getai campaign, the AS managed a succsseful war against the Ptolies, driving them back to egypt.

I don't think it has much to do with the fall of Antiocheia. In my campaign (Casse) it fell to the ptollies really quickly but the seleucids have lost no other territory except Mazaka but are still surrounding the lazy Hai, and beating back the not so lazy saba and pahlava (with the help of baktria) and still finding time to take india. The ptollies on the other hand have no sand wars with either Carthage or Saba while pontus and the west seleucids (Sardis and Ipsos) are keeping Egypt confined to Side, Tarsos (under Pontic control until a few years ago) and Antiocheia in Asia Minor.

Then in another campaign (Makedonia) I haven't got 15 years down the line and the seleucids have already taken Side and still have Antiocheia so I've seen more silver than gold deaths in my campaigns.

Since i play EB the ptolies ALWAYS won the war against the seleucid. I'm talking also about the 0.80 version. Never seen the grey death in my campaigns.... Only the yellow killing machine

Currently sellucia and the ptolemies decided its best they take out poor hayasdan (me) together, rather than become any sort of killing machine. Its a very very tense stalemate.

In my Makedonia campaign AS and Ptolemy are at a stalemate. But that probably got something to do with me keeping them occupied on 2 fronts.

So far in my campaigns the only passive faction has been Casse. I have to coax them into moving their lazy butts by giving them cash via the console.

And then, after they've conquered the Isles, they have several armies waiting in a port for a ship to Gaul that never comes . A landbridge is desperately needed there.
