    Default The biggest landmass conquered by 14 AD?

    Whats the record, i was gonna aim to conquer the whole map but im having trouble in my romani campaign, macedonia have spread to syria and wiped out koinon hellon, pontus and are chasing epirus north east past dacia. My lands in germany r hanging by a thread, the germans only have 4 settlements left but due to the fact i cant recruit barely any more men because of lack of public happiness due to war tax i am struggling against their remaining 3 full stacks of leet forces. Macedonia have took 2 settlements off me and segestia is my last fortified stronghold before they hit italy where i have no forces every city is garrisoned with 1 man so if they do reach ill be in trouble. Its an amasing campaign so far im on the edge of my seat and scared to press the end turn icon lol.

    Anyways back to the main question Whats the record for the most conquered lands in 1 campaign?

    oh and proof is obviously needed :P

    Fluvius Camillus managed to conquer every territory (barring one that isn't meant to be taken) by 195 B.C. with the Romani and 190 B.C. with Epeiros.

    It's actually one territory.

    I hope you activated your EB script. Four turns per year and not the usual two. Ceterum censeo Romam esse delendam.

    Pella generates that much money because it is the center of the world, superceeding Epidamnos.

    Everyone has different tastes and playing styles.
    I find it no fun to sit around on my butt waiting to be attacked or letting myself be attacked while I could be expanding. I also don't have the patience to "roleplay." I play to win.
    It seems very possible to achieve a whole map conquered in that timeframe.

    The same guy is also working on a Pontus campaign blitz too. And maybe a parlava campaign but I'm not sure.

    Its a great acheivement. Be a hell of a job to do it with every faction. Not sure if the Saba'yn for example are overly suited to blitzing.
    Completed Campaigns:
    Macedonia EB 0.81 / Saby'n EB 1.1
    Qart'Hadarst EB 1.2 / Hai EB 1.2
    Current Campiagns:
    Getai/Sauromatae/Baktria

    (Disclaimer: I NEVER CHEAT, this is all done by the way I like playing EB. In my opinion there is still some storyline in it. My strategies are supreme and my planning is long-thougth of. Every step is taken with care, precision and determination. Recently I installed FD, however has not been used on any of the empire you see, only once in a later stage with Pontos. Keep in mind, I can blitz faster, but that would have to be with a strong faction and NO STORYLINE, which you may cannot imagine, but which I dislike).



    - Epiros = EB 1.0 Difficulty = VH/M or VH/VH honestly don't remember.
    - Romani = EB 1.1 + official fixes Difficulty = VH/M
    - Arverni = EB 1.2 + official fixes Difficulty = VH/M
    - Pontos = EB 1.2 + official fixes Diffculty = H/H (I have installed EB and RS textures now, still I only used FD yet, to roleplay AS as an protectorate (only Alexandreia Eshate left), who however are dead now.

    Ah the old times... Dumatha had the desert "building", I also remember Cydamus (something like that), being a Carthaginian city south of Hadrumentum.

    The Bold part: disagreed, I like the grandeur of the royal armies and prestige of enourmous wealthy empires.

    The Underlined part, thank you.

    Pontos is correct, however I am deliberately slowing down after the picture posted.

    Pahlava is incorrect however I did consider it, I am looking for one of these to decide what to play next: Getting the "feel" of eastern warfare and exploring faction cultures which I did not or rarely played as.

    Not to be a nit picker but you did something to enable the Imperial reforms in your Romani campaign. You must be at least at year 125 for it to happen.

    Yep. I think it was the Aedui, (with a small chance of it being an Arverni) world domination. Every other world domination posted on these forums was either forged by the sarissa or the gladius. Either do a forum search yourself, or wait for me to find it.

    Exclamation Re: The biggest landmass conquered by 14 AD?

    Found it! Here:
    https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=108176

    And yes, the bloke modded the EDU so that all infantry units have 200 men. Thus the game was unbalanced quite a bit by that, as you can imagine what Gaesatae would do if they had 200 men. While Pantadapoi would have only 200, as opposed to 240. Same with the phalangites.

    But this does also mean that the enemy elites were more numerous and the cavalry had less of an effect. Which is historical, because having 50-men mounted units and 120/80/60 men infantry units is not. Not proportional. Most mods fix this, but EB does not. (Thankfully too, since fighting with 20/30 men cavalry is tough)
