When the roman dictatorship won the civil war they changed name. Not sure why they havent formed the empire yet as they were 600+ territories before i took land from them.
Expanding in all directions
Game tells me to have peace time but i feel no need to as half our empire is integrated and the rest assimilating fast with 150 years of happiness bonuses backing them up.Sinope at the end of the recent roman war.
.png "Skärmbild (497).png")
We figure out how clocks work.
.png "Skärmbild (498).png")
Some strange mechanism makes me unable to declare war even when my empire is kinda stable (note no imminent revolts), i get why it's there but i really dislike stability locking mechanics below 20 stab, let me run my country into the ground if i want to.
A puny tribe refuses to give up land since they trust rome, big mistake.
.png "Skärmbild (499).png")
Our legion met romes first italian legion on the field. We would go on and chase them down for two more battles untill they were dead to the last man.
.png "Skärmbild (500).png")
.png "Skärmbild (501).png")
Our heavy infantry becomes more competent.
.png "Skärmbild (502).png")
I swear to god i have no idea how i got 80 military exp so fast again, i got some levies wiped by rome but i have no clue if that gives military exp, possible since standing down does.
.png "Skärmbild (503).png")
Our legion with the help of some levies crushed a army more than twice their size.
.png "Skärmbild (504).png")
This brought rome to the negotiation table, rome would give up half of illyria and the unruly tribe who defied us together with some barbarian land.
.png "Skärmbild (505).png")
Together with ending roman rule (or the remnants of it) east of the carpatian mountains.

Sinope in 604 AUC
.png "Skärmbild (507).png")
Saving money is always great.
.png "Skärmbild (508).png")
Strangely selucids dident wanna give away babylon.
.png "Skärmbild (509).png")
A effort was made to fortify our border forts.
.png "Skärmbild (510).png")
We kinda took babylon since selucids dident wanna give it up. Note the low ae, since ae over 50 gives a -% ae gained you might aswell conquer more if you are super high ae since stability will be in the shitter anyway.
.png "Skärmbild (511).png")
Babylon was sacked as usual but since it was a metropolis it became a city instead of a settlement.
.png "Skärmbild (512).png")
.png "Skärmbild (513).png")
Strangely enough armenia dident wanna give away their capital so we took everything instead.
.png "Skärmbild (514).png")
.png "Skärmbild (515).png")
.png "Skärmbild (516).png")
A real consideration will be had on integrating armenian, abit on the fence at the moment on that one. Roman could also be good if i intend to invade italy.
.png "Skärmbild (517).png")
All rebellions are quickly crushed.
.png "Skärmbild (518).png")
.png "Skärmbild (519).png")
Time to invade the rest of the levant.
.png "Skärmbild (520).png")
They really should stop me from sacking alexandria each generation.
.png "Skärmbild (521).png")
Somehow my legion became expert heavy infantry not sure how.
.png "Skärmbild (522).png")
.png "Skärmbild (523).png")
A spoonfull of land was taken from egypt and added to our ever growing empire.
.png "Skärmbild (524).png")
Jerusalem was spared.
.png "Skärmbild (525).png")
Tyros was not.
.png "Skärmbild (526).png")
Culture mapmode in 612 AUC
.png "Skärmbild (527).png")
How numerous each culture is in 612 AUC, thinking of integrating armenian and roman, wanted to integrate phonecian if they were 500+ pops so i could copy their traditions but it seems i either wont or ill have to do it with another culture.
.png "Skärmbild (528).png")
I could have chilled and gotten stability up but i really see no need, if you have played smart the first half of the game you are basically unstoppable the other half. You can basically conquer as much in the last 100 years as the rest of the campaign if you are willing to really push it with war on several fronts etc.
Think reuniting alexanders empire will be my current goal, i got 115 years to go and it should be possible even without winning land by the spear.
Knocking Persia and Rome out of being great powers
Sinope at the start on 612 AUC was a strange place, while externally it had never been better internally it was a wonder it hadent torn itself appart. With low province loyalty and happiness across the board it barely had any population output and almost entirely relied external factors such as trade to keep the national budget afloat..png "Skärmbild (529).png")
Our citizen soldiers in their levy contribute a lot of heavy infantry for our armies so moderinzation on how to best use them will increase our combat potential.
.png "Skärmbild (530).png")
Colchis is invaded
.png "Skärmbild (531).png")
We decide to let the jews in judea be
.png "Skärmbild (532).png")
Our policy has always been on helping everyone become a civilized proper greek and will continue to be so.
.png "Skärmbild (533).png")
The kingdom of colchis with it's long history has been absorbed.
.png "Skärmbild (534).png")
The mausoleum of Sinope has begun construction.
.png "Skärmbild (535).png")
Selucids are attacked.
.png "Skärmbild (536).png")
Selucids lamely give up after half a year.
.png "Skärmbild (537).png")
It is sacked as is tradition.
.png "Skärmbild (538).png")
Rebellion happens again.
.png "Skärmbild (539).png")
Rebellion dies again.
.png "Skärmbild (540).png")
Rome decided to invade dacia to reunite their illyrian land with their remnants in the east so we decided to ruin their day.
.png "Skärmbild (541).png")
While we only took a moderate amount of land we weakened rome considerably since most of illyria has been assimilated into roman at this point.
.png "Skärmbild (543).png")
Our levies continue to improve.
.png "Skärmbild (544).png")
Revolts again.
.png "Skärmbild (545).png")
Well no matter the revolt will be finished in time lets invade egypt.
.png "Skärmbild (546).png")
hey look at that another failed revolt.
.png "Skärmbild (547).png")
The mausoleum has been built.
.png "Skärmbild (548).png")
What a remarcable structure entirely in marble.
.png "Skärmbild (549).png")
Egypt is kicked out of the mouth of the nile.
.png "Skärmbild (550).png")
Alexandria is spared the usual fate.
.png "Skärmbild (551).png")
Our constant warfare leads to many benefits.
.png "Skärmbild (552).png")
Egyptians have no need to fear as we will ensure a smooth time in our care.
.png "Skärmbild (553).png")
Bohairic will be dropped eventually just wanna steal levantine traditions.
I will admit i'm mostly playing just because at this point since i wanna reform alexanders empire but it's not that fun to effortlessly roll people over. I mean i've been at 0 stability since like late 590 with only minor rebellions.
The sarmatians had largely been left to their own and indirectly protected us from other barbarians but with truces with the selucids, romans and egyptians we decided might aswell do something in the meantime.
.png "Skärmbild (555).png")
It was decided to let the dead man lie down where he was instead of move his body.
.png "Skärmbild (556).png")
Oh no a stability hit how will i manage.
.png "Skärmbild (557).png")
Our new king Arathos the second was a deeply corrupt man with medioccre skill in most governmen work and abysmal skill in leading troops.
.png "Skärmbild (558).png")
The pretenders instantly stand down more or less. The 20 stability hit was only there to punish my low legitimacy but no one actually wants to rebell.
.png "Skärmbild (559).png")
Sarmatia is conquered.
.png "Skärmbild (560).png")
Selucids is invaded.
.png "Skärmbild (561).png")
Rome is suicidal, i mean sure i got my army in the east but i'm so much stronger than him it's not even funny.
.png "Skärmbild (562).png")
We dident push the persian war as far as we could have since the romans seemingly need a more ... permanent solution.
.png "Skärmbild (563).png")
I got just under 3 times as many pops as rome and i got tech 15 vs their tech 11, i'm not sure why they do this to themselves.
.png "Skärmbild (564).png")
.png "Skärmbild (565).png")
Short game from today with some minor gains vs sarmatia and the persians but rome really wants to die it seems like. I don't even need to conquer anything westward for alexanders empire so all they do is slow down my eastward expansion. I'll really have to end them before they fuck up something for real if i invade maurya in the future.

So far i have been very lenient with rome, even when we won we never went for their heartland of italy and only prettied up our borders abit. Rome has clearly shown that such a policy cannot work no more and we need to seek a more permanent solution for those savages.

So, Rome is dealt with. I doubt they'll take that lying down, though - expect more invasions...
Another rebellion, who knew 0 stability and high war exhaustion made people suicidal.

We have made sure to always pay our mercenaries and hence got a good reputation with them.

Rome has to be proven a snake we cannot leave alone otherwise they probably will disturb during our future mauryan invasion.

With 74 years left untill the end of the game we have plent of time for a maurya war. The question is how far do i wanna go into india? will 1 war be enough or do i intend to make war to them more than once.
Cleaning up persia is a given but both Egypt and Rome are other options for expansion. Carthage could also be considered as a potential expansion route.

And how Rome hath fallen - how's Carthage doing?
two decades of war
Our recent conquests of egypt and persia has set us up for reforming alexanders empire but i consider that kinda done at the moment since i would have to screw up real bad to fail at that from this position so i'm gonna expand west a good bit and see if I can pull of mare nostrum aswell or atleast peak justinian borders.Our old ass king dies and we get his borther Pantaleon the first.

All in all some good gains in all directions against rome/egypt/arabians/dahae/carthage/india this session. With 55 years until the enddate i have plenty of time to conquer more, not a wc since i'm behind time on that and would have needed to snake more but enough time to get a alexanders empire+
Rome's bordergore annoys me.
Sinope's doing very well...
Few more wars against Rome and Carthage?

I honestly think i underestimated how strong i was at 550 ish when i said i was going for alexanders empire, if i had played more hardcore this could have turned into a world conquest from that position.
The biggest mistakes i've done so far is:
1: Not willing to snake and say destroy rome early instead of taking illyria/dacia from them, i could have chased them out of itally way earlier.
2: Automated armies i basicallly only have automated armies with maybe a few exceptions when i move troops long distances or want to take a specific fort. Micromanaging this would cost irl time but would end wars quicker.
3: Honsetly taking the invention i showed at the start of this session way earlier. It's a nieche one sure but it makes expansion fuel more expansion and greatly increases the output from my pops due to them not having -50% happiness all the time.
