No one want to see Aristotle victorious in this little civil war and he doesn't seem to strong. This should be easy. With great confidence the Aiacid armies march towards the rebels. Unfortunately they may have been somewhat overconfident. Our Italian army is destroyed, mostly caused by its mediocre leadership. Another problem arises in that all the rebels that always pop up decide to join Aristotle. While of mediocre quality (being mainly militia) they are numerous and Aristotle does not delay in finding commanders. Unfortunately for us he finds some good commanders. Greece is lost to the usurper.
However we have the upper hand in the east, and the initial failure in Italy does not seem to bad as it is devoid of rebel armies as a new army is gathered in Megale Hellas. However the troubles cause Commagene to take the oppurtunity to become independent.
In the end of the second year of civil war Eunice dies and is succeeded by her son Tisiphon
While the rebels remain strong in Greece, in the rest of the Empire I have the upper hand, with some problems in Italy as enemy troops have arrived there and there. Lycia decide to follow Commagenes example and go independent as well.
And then the civil war in Carthage ends. Sad, would have wanted that one to continue until the end of the game. Well I send my main armies in Anatolia in an invasion of Greece. 49,000 men led by two great generals, late Queen Eunice's uncle Helenus and his grandson Machares.
In about a year Ambracia has been liberated from the clutches of the evil rebels. And the next year Cappadocia does what Commagene and Lycia have already done and goes independent.
The year after that Greece has been liberated however the rebels are in control of Greece and are ravaging Asia Minor. Aristotle dies and is succeeded as rebel leader by his very young son with the same name. The rebels manage to take Asia Minor and briefly takes Egypt as well but eventually, ten years after the civil war began it ends with our victory.
Two traitorous generals are executed and to prevent another civil war all our generals (and many governors) receive massive rewards for their loyal service (bribes). In fact we run out of money and we still have a potentially disloyal general. And before I show the map I will note that of the three countries to appear we only have cores on Lycia and Cappadocia.
So the next update should be the last one hopefully and if so what should be done (note that as we have spent our cash reserves going to war is probably not a good idea as we may not improve stability at this time).
