Post your EB empires!

[Arthur, king of the Britons]

Yeah nice empire Skuda.

(shameless bump)

[Nobo]

(shameless bump)

There you go:



This is my current Macedonian Campaign. I've been trying to pace myself, by playing a global police force and making sure no faction got too powerful. For example, I re-conquered most of Italy for my Roman allies, after Karthadast sacked Roma. Unfortunately I failed miserably in establishing a balance of power in the east, because I underestimated the Ptolemaioi and actually helped them take some AS settlements So now I am fighting off 2 stacks, full of Elite Phalanx units each turn, which is already getting a little old. The only way I even managed to take those two levant cities, was by sneaking a spy in there and then launching a naval attack, after he opened the gates... but now the reinforcements come knocking on my door every turn....

[Teucer]

That's some Yellow Death you've got there... I don't envy you having to deal with all those phalangites

[Duguntz]

Here's the Sweboz expansion, behold the mighty Germanic Kingdom, might ye all shiver in front of our gods!



Ha, the year is 198 BC, and the formerly Makedonian imigrations have, finally, been repealed by Persians... I'm fighting on two fronts, Repelling stack after stack from Lusotan (blistering barnacle of bloody battles, fortunatly, with my bodyguard being the only one wearing effective armour, i can laugh at their AP weapons! MOUHAHAHAHAHA!) and fighting the Epeirotes on my eastern flank... my north east is.... COMPLETLY SECURE the AI having time to built stack after stack of triple gold chevron armies, and there's NO WAY I'll go play there... one problem, after gawjam-bastarnoz (my last settlement in order to fulfill my campaing requirement) revolted to me, a fullstack of horse archer took it almost free of casualty while decimating my whole army..., and there's a wall of fullstacks of Bionic AI soldiers under 10 stars generals wich effectively block my way till that last settlement... and I realise with.... pitty... that I'll have to carve my way threw epeirote, Sarmate, and Dacia, before reaching it from the south... many years of campaining in perspective...

[MButcher]

The finished product of my Ptolemaioi campaign. The last thing I did was conquer Pella from Epirus, leaving me with a severely depleted royal army.

I wish I could keep playing, but after I bought Lepki from Kart-Hadast the game no longer loaded my save games.

[Hannibal Khan the Great]

Did you change your faction color? It looks like the Seleukids were the ones to conquer all that...

[MButcher]

Yeah, I changed it after I conquered the Seleukid lands. By that point it felt like I was playing a different faction, so I switched to that gray color. I'm not a big fan of it myself, so I'm still looking for a new one.

[Ophiokhos]

My Eporite empire at Winter 200BC. Its been a fun campaign so far. Makedonia was the first to be wiped out, after taking Demetrias off of them their remaining two towns revolted (Korinth was taken by KH). So I was left to fight KH, it went on for a while, after taking Athens, Korinth and Sparte off them, their remaining two settlements rebelled. I found it amusing that both of those factions got wiped out by settlements revolting haha.

Now I'm just toying with the Romans, I'm not going to bother trying to destroy them, I'm just going to take Segestica and Patavium off of them and leave it to the Aedui to take Mediolanum, since they are my allies and don't show any signs of betraying me. I'm also having an on and off war with the Seleucids. I have an alliance with Pontos but it seems like they're going to betray me soon. They won't be too hard to deal with though I'm sure, they're pretty weak in the grand scheme of things at the moment.

[Rahl]

Nice empire, it guess the Sweboz will attack you after defeating the Romans. Are the Getai your allies? If you play on VH you will propably have a lot of enemies soon.

I found it amusing that both of those factions got wiped out by settlements revolting haha.

Did they really rebel? That's unlikly to happen I would say. Where they destroyed right after you took Demetrias/Sparte? They often run out of family members, especially the KH when only rhodes is left.

[Ophiokhos]

Sweboz and Getai are my allies as well, I'm preparing for them, I don't think they're going to betray me quite yet. As for Makedonia and KH, that could have been that case of them having no family members left now that you bring it up, I didn't think of that and it does actually make sense.

[J.R.M]

Nice empire Ophiokhos, prepare to face the 2 greatest "barbarian" factions (Getai and Sweboz). Hope u got enough missiles, you will need them... ooh yeesss yooouuu willll....
also carefull with the Ptolies.

[anubis88]

My SPQR campaing, in 49 BC

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I've conquered Gaul in 52 BC (right on time), and i will probably shift my foucus soon to conquering Egypt, in order to try to achieve 90 provinces required for the Agustan reform.

I'm trying to play as true to the real time-line as i can, though i had to capture Alexandria and raid a few cities of the Ptolemies, either giving them to the Parthians, or the Arche... The Seleucids are really scatered all over the place

I also admit that i use the cheat auto_win on the borders i'm tired to play ( against Carthage and Epeiros, both attack me with weak armies but 9 stars generals, and it would bore me to death to fight those battles all the time. I almost never use the cheat if it's not clear to me that i would win the battle easily... I'm just tired of levy troops and phalanxes).

I've just gotten a border with the Sarmatians ( Attilla anyone?), and i fear what will happen if they declare war on me

So i'll try to get Egypt soon, and hopefuly get the reforms, so i will be able to meddle in Germania and invade Britain in due time.

[Jebivjetar]

My mighty Carthage, 181 BC:

[J.R.M]

Good Carthaginian empire, my idea or you conquered Byzantion??
Edit: It seems not, but it would be great to conquer it and the rest of Greece,finish those Lusos and those Romies.

[Zim]

My current Ptolemy game at 225. I started it to test out whether H campaign difficulty would be too easy and I've been impressed. The AI factions still outproduce me, although it took longer for them to start cranking out the hordes of full stacks. Carthage even shared a border with me and remained allies for 4 decades (ended sometime in the 230s, they've been sending small but elite filled stacks since).

Right now it's very much like a VH game though, with me at war with all neighbors, even Pontus who I installed as a buffer between me and the Seleucids. I'm overstretched and having difficulty reinforcing my borders, partly because of my insistence on having at least one elephant unit and maintaining a navy.

I'm not sure whether to hunker down for a while to make things harder or start getting my revenge against Pontus for backstabbing me and constantly sending full stacks of mercs to Sidon.

Thank you, J.R.M :)

Yeah, i'm planning to conquer Byzantion and Seleukeia, as well as Asia Minor (at least its eastern coastal line), but before that i must pacify my newly conquered settlements in Egypt and Levant, not to mention those rebelious towns around the Red sea. Lusos declared war on me and i'm fighting them @tm. Romaioi became my protectorate as i bought their freedom for ~50 000 minai, so i'll attack them as soon as i get a faction leader with a barcid trait.

Carthage is so mighty

[Arthur, king of the Britons]

Yeah that's an epic empire you got there Jeb.

[Albath]

Hey guys! Here is an Orontid Empire for your fancies.



Took me a while (a month, to be exact) to reach this point in the campaign, but I still have some ways to go. I think I will expand to Asia Minor and Greece, subjugate the heck out of them, and head back east.

On another note, the Koinon Hellenon has really done well for themselves. They repelled multiple Macedonian invasions and pushed them to Pergamon while keeping the Epeirotes at bay. Now they're mopping up the peninsula and I see several armies in Illyria.

The Romans spent a good amount of time conquering Italy itself, but now they're going into Gaul and Iberia to quell the barbari. The Carthaginians have several full stacks in Iberia too, so I'm eagerly awaiting a pseudo-Punic War.

[Fluvius Camillus]

Welcome to the forum, Albath!

That's a nice empire in a good first post! Won't you mop up the AS or go further down the Nile?

~Fluvius

[Hannibal Khan the Great]

My best Sweboz game so far:


Yes, I pwnzed the central European Eleutheroi!

[Albath]

Welcome to the forum, Albath!

~Fluvius

Thanks for the greetings!

I find little benefit in going further down the Nile, since the regionals there are limited for the Orontids. I might take Ptolemais-Theron for the trade benefits, but I'm already swimming in mnai.

I'm keeping the Seleukids alive for buffer purposes. They keep spamming mercenary stacks at Susa, but that's a lot better than the full Saka armies that I'm seeing in the steppes. o_O

Pontos is my most likely target for now. I might go into Carthaginian territory in a bizzare turn of alternate events, but I like curvy empires for my silhouettes.

@Hannibal Khan

That Sweboz empire is sexy; it reminds me of German expansion during World War II. Does your faction leader have authoritarian traits, by any chance?

[Hannibal Khan the Great]

@Albath: Heruwulfaz is more of a badass warlord than an authoritarian character. He has led my fullstack of FMs and mercs along with AOR units for several decades, forming the majority of my empire in the process.

Here's the SPQR at 35 BC or so...

Welcome to the .Org, and to EB . For some reason, I found it appropriate to see Foot's avatar in the capital of the Hai, seeing how much work Foot did to keep the Armenians in EB1.

For the record, though: please be careful with Sweboz-Nazi's comparisons.

[johnhughthom]

Nice campaign Anubis, historically correct Romani expansion never gets old. I've never had a proper Parthian Empire to face though, I'm rather jealous. Any change of a save?

I did mingle a bit with Pahlava, in order for them to become strong:D

If you refer an uploading page, i would have no problem to upload my save-game... I am using BI.exe though so I hope it will work

Oh, and I've just conquered most of the Seleucid territories + Crete (since i was the one who gave it to them in the first place :P)

Beloved Hayasdan, not in EB1? Impossible. Unimaginable. It's the perfect time period.

Hey guys! Here is an Orontid Empire for your fancies.

Go go Albath! Go go Albath! Go go Albath!!!

Anyway, this is my empire:

@intifadanyz

Wow! Great, you yet deserve another !

Your dedication (campaign and timeframe) brought you this far, it is awesome! What campaign do you consider playing next?

~Fluvius

[Nyz]

Thanks for the second balloon Mr. Fluvius!

Hmm, I am very fond of Eastern culture... maybe I'll try Pontos... but I've seen that you have paused your Pontos campaign...that's your SECOND one. What happen to the first? Not success? Is it very hard?
