Ok, I have a quck question:

How the heck did I just win? The map says I'm supposed to have the Kyrene, Paraitonion, Alexandreia and Bocchoris. I don't, yet somehow I've still been given victory by the computer.

I think it's because the maps aren't correct, you should look at the Vistory conditions trait.

[Shadow_LT]

But, in EB 1.2 you need to have Kyrene in order to win as KH, so you shouldn't have won. Unless you are playing EB 1.0 or 1.1 and victory conditions were changed.

[Mulceber]

I'm playing 1.1, although I'm pretty sure I didn't change any victory conditions - at least, I can't think of any way by which I might have done so. -M

[Shadow_LT]

I mean that EB team may have changed victory conditions in EB 1.2 and they are different from the ones in EB 1.1 . Victory condition maps were made for 0.80 or 1.0 (I remember seeing a post about it), so they are outdated. You should look at your FL victory conditions trait or press the "?" button in faction overview screen (but that may not work as you have already won).

[Mulceber]

Just checked my faction leader's scroll and here's what I found:



So apparently I did win legitimately. =D Although I must say, I'm surprised by how few settlements the KH must hold - I mean, sure, they're very disparate, and I suppose that's what makes for the challenge, but still, not very many. I mean, I didn't even really need to conquer Asia Minor. -M

Makedonia 258 B.C

Got a bit of a situation

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Well here is my current situation. I sort of admit I blitzed to conquer Greece. I defeated KH in Greece by 269 BC (Would of been earlier only I decided to try Starve Sparta instead of having to try defeat Spartan Hoplites in the city center . Suprisingly, Pyrrhos decided to walk away from Pella in turn 1. And he would live to regret it.

I sent Antigonos back to Pella. By this time he was 50 and his movement points restricted. I couldnt really afford to lose ground, I needed to take Epirus. I Gave control of the Royal Army to Auetesion Proiretos. Who pushed the Epirote Army all the way back to Ambrakia. And When Epirus sallied forth they were beaten outside the city, however they just wouldnt die in the city center and defeated the Macedonian army and killed Proiretos.

Thats when I moved Antigonos' second son Alkyoneus to re-make the army and finally capture Ambrakia. After which very suprisingly, Epirus accepted my Protectorate demand.

Ever since Ive been developing my cities (Population was dangerously low due to making new army after 1st seige of Ambrakia.) I took Serdike and Tylis.

This is where my problem comes in. I was about to take a Black Sea town with my Main army, when I noticed Pontus captured Byzantion. I moved my army back to Tylis, Where there was a near-full stack Pontic army standing right outside. They retreated and its been a stand-off at Byzantion for the last 2 years. I dont know where to go next. We are still Neutral by the way. My spies tell me that Pontus have hardly any troops in their 4 towns (2-3 unit garrisons. Nikaia has 1 unit, their faction leader.). But If I attack and lose (Im really poor at playing seiges, in all my years of RTW its been my one weakness) I leave my myself open to attack from Rome (Epirus holding their own in Italy mind you.) And there is potential of the Seleukids Betraying me (They have a full stack spammed with Medium Phalanx trying to take KH last settlment Halikarnassos, failing and then seiging Pergamon instead of attacking Pontos FFS

Hmm... Well eventually you will have to attack the AS given that you will want to conquer Asia Minor but it wouldn't hurt if you waited a bit since they seem to be getting beat up by the Ptolemaioi. Same goes for Pontos, you probably will have to expand in the east battling against them although byzantion is buffer-sort-of settlement as it separates Asia from Europe and most likely you don't want to border the AS as they will defenitely attack you. IHMO you should capture Krete and get some archers, consolidate greece and try to build some mines in tylis. Also the adriatic cities (dalminion, segestica) might be the most profitable with +2 mines in the game along with Pella, so you might want to get your hands on them. Good job capturing Rhodos by the way. 9 times out of 10 there is a fullstack of elites guarding the city whenever I try to take it so most of the times it is a while before I try to.

Yeah seems a good idea. A thought I had was to capture Byzantion and gift it to my Dogs Epirus. And If Pontos take it back they would have a depleted army. Krete I havent really thought about capturing, mainly because I was busy with the Epriote war. I send a little 6-unit army to check out Rhodos as my spy in Asia Minor told me that the the bulk of the KH force had just emigrated to Asia Minor taking Halikarnassos. My spy told me there was only a unit in Rhodos, a FM. So it was easy enough to take it.

And thanks Vartan! :D

May I ask why you changed the colours?

Well, Ive always like Makedonia as blue (In every mod I play) as I think it suits them more than Baktria. And Ive never like Epirus being green too, and I looked at a RTR VII preview and found the Epriote colour "neon" light blue like that and I thought it suited them aswell. So then after doing them both I decided to change alot of colours. You cant quite see in the screen but I changed KH to a sort of colour like the Greek-Cities in Vanilla, Carthage ive never thought white suited a African faction and looking online I found a emblem of Carthage in that colour. Also changed Baktria to a sort of Dark-Flesh colour like in RTR. I never really fell in love with Aremenia being Darker in EB so I made thme Neon too.

Funny enough that this had to happen on the next turn.

Orro, I bribed him from the Adeui, he fought and destroyed countless armies of romans and aduei with himself and 400 leuce epos. (only 100 of which survived the sacking of rome) He pushed into italy, sacking 3 different cities on the road to Rome... the money made from said sacking and slaves built many new homes and services and schools for the people Gaul. The Averni nobles awarded Orro's new found courage and loyalty to the tribe with by voting him the selected superior. He is now King!


The adeui have allied with the stinking romans, so have the sweboz, and so have the iberians. Our only "ally" is Carthage, through neutrality. Epiros swaps between being a client state and rebelling against their roman masters. Whats happening in the east i really havent been paying much attention.

I've been holding back from expanding outside of Gaul. Want to keep things in the realm of historical possiblitity... probably have broken that line already :P
