That distant Aedui enclave is a rebellion which happened a long time ago.They are constantly keeping 2 full stacks there doing nothing at all. Actually the Sweboz are doing exactly the same with their enclave with only difference that they keep 3 full stacks there, when they desperately need them fighting Arverni. Tbh, I think those enclaves and big armies that the AI is keeping there, far away from any action, are the reason why Aedui are all but extinct and Sweboz are losing ground to the Arverni. AI is not playing smart here.

Here's my VH/M Pontos game at 257 BC with BI.exe.

Seleucids are being stupid. I wouldn't have expanded as much as I have, but after they first broke our alliance, they sent stack after stack of cheap troops at my main army - my faction leader and some other family members, with a cheap phalanx. So now, all those family members have 3 silver chevrons, and have been fighting off Seleucid stacks for 10 years now. The Seleucids have actually been funding my war against them - every other turn either I offer them a ceasefire/alliance in exchange for some cash, or they come to me offering me money to make an alliance (!). Which they break the next turn.

Also, Rome has taken their Faction Leader and a medium sized army on a boat over to Alalia, and are currently besieging it. KH is filling Rhodes with stacks.

Hopefully things will get a bit more interesting as it goes on.

2 things

Epirus and Lusotana vs Rome and Carthage and Rome is getting beat by the 2 of them and Carthage can't do anything to the Spaniards

In Greece, Epirus didn't attack pella and Makedon didn't capitalize on that even though they took Athens but troops from Sparta slowly took makedon's territories and Pontus took the ones in asia minor but both factions didn't capture mytilene and Chalkis and see what happened lol

Holy shit, that is one bi... wait a minute. You´re playing as Baktria right? Damn. Please, always inform us of which faction you are playing as.
And what´s up with the Seleukids in Dayuan? Surely you cannot leave them there behind your border like that.

Yes he can, the province keeps the Saka busy for decades, I did it in my Pahlavan game too. It keeps your back secure and leaves you with a single frontline . Very efficient until the Saka take it and become angry at you.
