Attica for the Macedonians! Free Athens from the Phrygian dogs!

Also, I really hope Rome and @KaiserJohan will be surviving against this traitorous enemy coalition, though I suspect it will not be without much difficulty.

Horse Archers from Dacia riding to their doom for the good of the world.
Death and Glory!​

Also, I really hope Rome and @KaiserJohan will be surviving against this traitorous enemy coalition, though I suspect it will not be without much difficulty.

I don't think difficulty is the word, KJ is going to roll over the Greeks, this is half of Greece and some barely inhabited lands to the north fighting the might of an empire that owns all of Italy and Africa and now most of France. If you look at the stats Groogy put up you can see how KJ outmatches the poor Greeks in every way.
Unless the Greeks find some more allies in the east or in Spain the only thing going to save them is the Kaisers AE penalties

Well, I counter your argument with this:

FEELS GOOD TO FORM NATIONS BOISSSSSSS

 

[Wagonlitz]

Anybody know how a small Getia revolted out of eastern Saxonia? I don't remember Getia ever being there, plus Getia transcended into Dacia so seeing Getia back on the map iun eastern Saxonia, even if it's just a single city, is weird.

 

[Trin Tragula]

Bactria is happy to have acquired even more deserts and mountains from the vile Seleucid Empire.
Sadly the succession of three year old Philoxenos Sophytid led to a long period of instability and corruption. The many aunts and uncles of Philoxenos found the last actions of his father, Sophythes "The Paragon" Sophytid, reprehensible. Especially the imprisonment of his wife Zunesh and successive marriage to Philoxenos mother, only three years before he died.

In order to keep the realm together the Bactrian kingdom has had many of the state functions and assets given away to the various men of power in the realm.
The time for the corrupt and envious to feast on the state is now finally at en end however as Philoxenos has reached adulthood. While isn't very charming he is a man of some military abilities, and a strong determination to turn the Bactrian state into the shining beacon of Hellenism that his ancestors envisioned.

(Yes he really has 0 charisma, and yes that is not great for his popularity. He is also both Blunt and Tactically Inflexible. ;o Bactria has to plan for a lot of bread and circuses now)

I can just imagine how his speeches would go:

"We're going to war with the Maurya. If you don't like it, too bad."
"The people are starving? Let them eat naan!"

in EU4 if separatists revolt in a province that has no cores the separatists are loyal to a nation that has the primary culture of the province, even if it doesn't exist. I imagine the same thing is happening now

also the scores are a bit skewed, Pritannia is still on top despite not being a threat anymore so I can only imagine that the scores always favour and make a target of nations that start small, I feel this will cause problems in the future because in order for big nations to win they must destroy all the small nations around them simply because the small nations can compete better on score

 

[Arheo]

I was there.

There, at the battle of Splonum - the crimson hubris of Roman youth stacked rank after rank as far as the eyes could see. We didn't stand a chance, we thought, but Gods damn them, we'll fight for our lands; Rome would come for us in the end.

Macedonian blood poured onto the rocky plains of Splonum, as the very land itself wept scarlet tears for we sons of Hellas. Yet we did not break. Fifty thousand died, all told - fifty thousand whose fathers raged at the gods; cursing the shadow of this bitter evil, commanded by a council of old fools arrayed in pomp and splendour many leagues hence. Ne'er a battle so bloody since the bright star of Macedon shook the earth with the marching of his armies.

I was there; in the last rank - all semblance of order lost, no proud generals left - but by the Gods we held the line. Held the line for just long enough.

I shall remember the ululating cries of the Getae ascending from below, for as long as I yet draw breath. Like a tide, they crashed over the ranks of Rome as if Poseidon himself had heard our lament, and summoned the very ocean in our defence.

I was there at Splonum, when the fifty thousand fell, and I shall be there when the gates of Rome are rent asunder by the fifty thousand more who shall rise to avenge their brothers.

I let the barbies form a client kingdom there. Thats the name they picked.

This needs to be in an event or something.

Starting to think troop numbers should be nerfed. Rome has considerable numerical superiority on virtually every front simultaneously, with over 300k troops in the field here in the mid-game. Looks like the EU IV Ottomans, but more so.

 

[Denkt]

Starting to think troop numbers should be nerfed. Rome has considerable numerical superiority on nearly every front, with over 300k troops in the field here in the mid-game. Looks like the EU IV Ottomans x 2.

They have buffed small nation a bit by using the CK2 ruleset of big capital buff, a major province buff and a small regional buff which makes smaller countries relative more powerful.

The Manpower pool of large countries may need to be trimed down a bit, like Rome is approaching a 1 milion Manpower pool if not already at that Point if AE was reduced.

Gold and Manpower income seems a bit unbalanced in the devclash with many countries having piles of Money and zero Manpower but it could be due to pop issues such as having way too many Citizens and way too few freemen (which is probably the pop you should have the most of as Manpower is such important resource and Tech rushing in the dev Clash version is pretty much completely dead as the ahead of time penalty is very high) which probably is very bad new for Epirus.

Basically the current pop strategy should be something like this:

• As few Citizens as possible as their Commerce income (Marketplaces have been changed) is poor and research is never going to pass the ahead of time penalty so only get as many as you need to research Techs on time
• As many freemen as possible because Manpower.
• Slaves will be plentiful if you fight alot, try to avoid slave revolts however which is probably Another reason for wanting to have as many freemen as possible.

KaiserJohan, the greatest general Rome never had.

 

[MatRopert]

The slow reconquest for Armorica has begun.
For dozens of years we have cultivated sympathy from Pritonian governors. Yet as they were ready to defect they were taken and replaced by subservient administrators.
In vain we asked our druids to manufacture enough magic potion to boot the Pritons out of Gaul but they sternly refused. "Our secret was never meant to further conquest" they said.
The Armorican Senate then turned towards the augurs and Belenos answered, sending against the invaders what others will call the scourge of mankind. Here, we simply call them Romans.

Some may call the Gauls terrible things for not turning against Rome but here's the sad truth: Rome never invaded Armorican lands. Rome never captured our people to make them slaves in some foreign island. Rome never attempted to uproot our ways and impose their traditions upon our citizens. Pritannia did all that and worse.

We did not choose the Romans, we chose to fight the true invaders.

Pictured: Armorican special forces being asked if they are Romans.

 

[Palando]

It didn't really receive the attention it should have, so here we go!

Tell that to your brothers in Cisalpine Gaul pardon me, North Italia.

But, more seriously it is hard to blame you given the situation. Just remember that when you live on a giant’s back, there is only one individual you ever really need to fear.
