that round of war with Rome was almost an anti-climax. Presume that means they are on their way down and its a case of having a snack off them at 5 year intervals? Or could they manage to rebuild an army that could hurt you? Otherwise you're set well to be the master of the Western Med
They could always rebuild their armies certainly. And for the next war they maybe even keep some sort of army in Italy.
The Lusitani seem to be a bigger threat than the Romans now...
Any plans for the Eastern Med already?
Not any real plans. The Lusitani may be relatively big, and at the moment in a better shape then Rome, but Rome is much more advanced and have better provinces. Still I do expect the Lusitani to be able to put up a good fight if I do get involved in a war against them.
Quite a triumph, Rome seems to be pretty much out now.
The situation east of you is definitely interesting, what with a tiny sliver of the Seleucids at your doorstep and those Macedonian holdings.
Rome is not out yet. They still have some good provinces. Provided they actually rebuild they can still become a problem.
Impressive how easily you dealt with Rome, I guess you caught them at the right time due to them warring with Dardanians. Very nicely done, your position has been strengthened considerably. Although the continued expansion of the Seleucids could prove cause for concern in the future.
Yeah, I certainly caught them at the right time with no armies in Italy.
Aye.
I still think Rome to be a greater threat then the Lusitani. Though both can still cause problems.
The Seleucids seem to be setting themselves up as the big 'end of level' villain again. I am looking forward to some elephant rich posts once that conflict starts.
Provided they don't decide to spontaneously collapse, then they will certainly cause problems.
Could not read everything yet, but subscribed !
I like your mod. Looks fun. Hope it makes the game a challenge.
Glad you like it.
Great AAR!
With the Romans in terminal decline you are pretty secure as masters of the Western Med. Where shall you go from here?
Try to conquer Iberia, Gaul and Italy? Or mabye go for supremacy in the Eastern Med as well. You are afterall a seapower at heart.
Italy is one goal. And at least the Gallic provinces at the coast, but probably not much more inland. If the situation allows expansion to the east will be attempted.
