@Spotted Pig:
even with all these legions, you have such an amount of cash.

Congrats to have brought the campaign to 87BC. I don't think too many get there.

Thank you. I have a standing army of 5 Legions, wich costs a total of ~60000 mnai each turn, the others are supporting/garrison armies. It fits quite well with my income. (Imagine if I wouldn't profit, I would be bankrupt in a few years)

I was rather bored with the camp, but then I figured out how to fix the reforms and suddenly everything was so very interesting again, I even started writing down everything that happened (thus, the RP value), calling it "The Imperial Annals". From the birth of a child (It's a pain going through a family tree of 160 members to figure out what the whole name of a child is) to rebellions to the movements of the Legions. But I honestly believe it would be quite a boring AAR, it's mostly to keep me going.

From my Ptolemaioi campaign


After years of attacks on my levant cities my patience for the Saba has finally run out. Fresh from conquering Axum my Aethiopian expidetionary army sets sail from Ptolemais Theron subdue the Saba. The victories are swift and their main port city is taken.

Now the centre of their realm Maryab is taken.

A few years later the operation is complete, the Saba are reduced to a buffer state in Palmyra and the Ptolemaic Kingdom is stronger than ever!

Interesting expansion in the Northeast. Did one faction have a larger empire which was cut up by the others? I'd hazard a guess at Saka having expanded to the Caspian, then being split by Baktria, Pahlava and the Arche? Never seen Pahlava that far north without having wiped out any others before. Keep an eye on it
Nice to see Hai so big as well

Nope it was the Parthians who had the large empire, the Saka just nabbed a city from them and they've been unable to take it back due to pressure from the AS, can't remember but i think Baktria is also involved too.

The interesting expansion for me is the Sauromatae's drive into central europe, there's every chance of them clashing with rome or the celts if the rebel superstacks are defeated.

I wouldn't count on it. I've had this situation in several campaigns (in one campaign the Getai and Swêboz even cooperated (!!!) in harassing Eburonum, with the Sauromatae "watching" close by), and nothing has come of it so far.
I think it is more likely that Noricum will fall to the Romani in your campaign, who will then proceed to attack any faction north and east of it.

[Atraphoenix]

I have not see getai as aggressive as in that campaign. They are better blitzers than me.
They are sweeping Balkans and middle of Europe.
