When we last looked we where at war with all the countries east of us. Lovely. After some deliberation the basic strategy decided was to defeat the Seleucid allies and then focus on the Seleucids themselves. The first to fall, the Bosporan Kingdom. Rhoxolani is now ours, we could have gotten more, but well we are still fighting the Seleucids, Egypt, Pontus, Atropatene and the Nabateans.
Some minor setbacks though, our army in Cyrenaica is too small to really hold back Egypt, and when well-led Atropatenian and Nabatean armies arrive there is simply nothing it can do. And in Asia Minor an army is lost in an extremely unlucky battle. But no worry we easily raise a new army and it only delays the inevitable. Also Remi and later Dacia try to cause trouble but both are unably to accomplish much and are forced to accept white peace.
Wanted more but with Amisus the total value of the peace offer would have been over 100 and the ai never accepts offer valued that high, so we will have to be content with just Bithynia and Phrygia. To our surprise the next month the Seleucids accept our first offer. We get Paphlagonia and are now at peace. The war was actually quite short, less then five years.
The next year the Seleucid Satrap of Armenia decides to proclaim himself king.
While he has no strength to speak of, the Seleucid king appearantly feels generous and only retakes Artashat and forces the king of Armenia to pay a monthly tribute.
Some more peace and in 675 I feel it is time to decide what to do next. The truce with the Bosporan Kingdom has ended and our current mission (not that we have really cared about those) is to reduce war exhaustion. While our technology is slightly behind (but not by a very large margin) we have by far the highest income and manpower as can be seen on these lists
We are allied to the Arverni and the Vindelici. This is the map of the mediterranean for the year 675.
As you probably have noticed the updates are getting further and further apart. And we practically dominate the mediterranean as is. Do you think we should end this here, or try to continue all the way to 731?
