[Mediolanicus]

Mediolanicus, do I see some mithridatic wars in the making?

That's the main reason why I don't want the Ptolies to become too strong. Taking Greece is my first priority and I don't want to see Pontos dying a horrible yellow death in the meantime.
I may attack Syria first and give that back to the Seleucids.
Besides Pontos has been an ally since ~260, so I better make up a good reason to attack them.

what a beautiful map that is

I had a similar thing happen in my Luso campaign, so I sent out 2 armies to ruin the Ptolies front lines. It worked well, and the other factions have retaken Asia Minor and I have temporarily taken control of Egypt, and am working on getting rid of the yellow death elsewhere. When it's all over, I'll just leave it to them, however I'm having to hold settlements rather than letting them rebel because they just go back to being Ptolemaic (with thousands of Apeluetheroi)

That's why I want to give a few regions to the Seleucids. No Apeleutheroi! All those cities have MIC's that the Seleucids can use too.

But first I need to repell the Sweboz and pacify Greece.

I gave a few to the Seleucids, unfortunately they kind of got wiped out by the resurgent Pontos and Hay, and the very powerful Makedonians who are now taking cities about two turns after I take and leave them. Although it stops it going back to Ptolies, it does create another super empire in its place. At least it makes a change from yellow though.
