4 years later, winter of 221 BC.

The Ptolies succeeded on Rhodos and are now besieging Kydonia on Crete.

The Pahlava and Saba are dividing the eastern reaches of the Ptolemaic empire between them.

The Romani failed on Euboea, lost the Baleares and Sardim to the Karthadastim and several provinces to the Aedui, but made a foray into Iberia.

The Averni lost Gergovia to the Aedui and have almost no military remaining, apart from two stranded stacks of remnant Averno-Galatians at the Bosporus.

The Lusotannan awoke from their slumber and are besieging Gader.

Both Baktria and the Sauromatae are now protectorates to the Saka, who have been the richest faction more often than not.

I'm guessing he is Casse, but HOLY **** this is the quickest buildup I have ever seen.

SPQR 170BC.

I'm currently at peace with everyone except for the Sweboz and what is left of the Charties.
I've been hoping for the last 70 years that Lusotannan would attack me, but they haven't done so far.
Looks like I'll have to start a war myself if I want to expand more.

Despite some efforts by me to keep every faction alive, one faction succeeded in commiting suicide in 171BC.

Well this is my Aedui campaign on VH/M ... It's preety interesting... The Arverni don't dare to attack me because they would face war with Lusotana, who is my ally and the arverni are under their protectorate... I had a long war with them, but i never tried to exterminate them... On the West the Germano-Roman alliance keeps giving me headaches, but i'm managing to stop them with no problem, and now the time of soldiers has come, to help me. I tried to play as historicaly as possible, not conquering any settlements unless i really needed them for money. I conquered the belgae and helvetti cities only fot them to be buffer states. I also conquered lemonum a few years ago, becouse of the chariots, but it seems i will not be able to use them now since the reforms have come.

Seleucia was destroyed a year ago, while the romans seem to be in trouble with carthage slowly making stronghold in south italy.

It's really a very interesting campaign... I struggled for money till few years ago, when i decided i had to conquer a few more provinces in order to stop the arverno-romano-germanic attacks. Thankfully my long term allies of Lusotanna are helping me now.

The most interesting part was a Koinon Hellenon kingdom in southern gaul. Since massalia rebelled to them, they've managed to conquer Tolosa and Emporion as well and they had become a powerfull regional power. Unfortunatly they were destroyed by rebelions ( tolosa rebelled to me) and lusottana.

It was fun fighting hoplites though

How the hell did Pontus become so powerful?

**A Very Super Market** · 03-01-2009, 21:08

Why not?

No Grey Death...

It does that all the time in my campaigns. They captured Asia Minor all by themselves. They are in the Levant because I pillaged the Ptolemaic holdings because they were becoming too much a threat to the Seleucids and Pahlava.

Apart from that I only helped the KH (moved them from Euboea which Epeiros took to Byzantion), the Arverni (gave them that province while pushing the Sweboz back over the Alps and Casse, by giving them one Belgian province I took from the Sweboz.
