Rubbish. We all know how long a way that went for Neville Chamberlain.:rofl:Assos said:Can you buy their loyality? A litttle gold goes a long way.
King, my humble suggestion is to consolidate by securing the greek states in the south, by make your loyal leader stronger against the barbarians, and by creating a strong boundary in the north.
I noticed that now you have 6 boundary provinces confining with 9 barbarian provinces. Should you give up Moesi and Liburni, you could reduce to 4 and respectively. One army in Scodra could neighbor almost all possibly menaced provinces.

Six years of civil war before the Ptolemy's restored their position. Pity diplomatic solutions weren't possible. Was Demetrius captured and executed and his wealth confiscated or did he and his brother escape and are now awaiting for another chance?
What chance a little Ptolemy?

you find the histroy forum here thank you http://www.europa-universalis.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=44
I must say I am impressed by the fact that you managed to win that war. I guess holding rich provinces really is important and gives you a great chance to build more and more troops until you are once more strong enough against the rebels. Also the strategy you used while building your forces, using light troops to siege provinces sounds like a really smart idea.
Well done

I'm with Sol Invictus. A period of consolidation and diplomatic overtures to the dwarf states of Greece be the key if ye dost not want once more to get chucked by thine own bloated fighting arm and a people narked by thy frequent aggressive wars.
Yeah, it's definitely time for consolidation. After a big civil war, you've got to handle the "Reconstruction" period. Fix all your battered provinces, make diplomatic overtures, strengthen your military and borders.
Also, what can you do to establish a dynasty? Is that sort of thing entirely out of the player's hands? Who succeeds your Queen when she dies? If you don't have a strong heir, you'll just be left with bitter succession wars. Can you adopt someone as your son or name an important nobleman as your heir?

Looks like the state will be spending some time in the recovery ward...

Was his comment so out of place? I mean it could be applied to CK very well, where you could have a very talented disloyal steward, coming to request huge sums of gold in exchange for his everlasting loyality, year after year after year. And if you didn't pay him and his loyality plummeted all the way to 0% he would just help himself to the national treasury every now and then.
I find it nice that many of these CK "esque" features seem to be in EU:R. The corrupt and inept provincal prefect becoming consul with the money he skimmed from state being mentioned in the dev diaries. In many ways, CK's domestic management has been the most interesting in Paradox game's yet, even if largely event based.
You mentioned that your northern provinces were devasteted by the war, am I right if I assume that the effect of "looting" is more closer to CK (where provinces can have -90% income for years and may get follow up revolts) than the "Oh it got looted/I looted it, who cares" of the EU fame?
Has your Queen married yet? What happens if she dies heirless? Game over? The wealthies or the most popular general gets to the top? Civil war between the most powerful contenders? How old is she now? Can we get screenie of her?
Mmmm, questions. Oh, it was very nice to see those sneaky Antigonids try to restore their power in Macedon, exploiting the supposedly weak female rule.
Pacifying northern barbarians is the best way to speed recovery by ensuring other barbarians don't loot it again. Allowing a disloyal general to have command of the largest army that is doing the fighting is not a mistake Macedonia is likely to make again. Definitely needto to take the provinces around Pontus' little brdgehead and those towards Rome, expand towards the Bosporan Kingdom and our soon to be Celtic enemies so we can, for now, establish trade routes and trbiutary kingdoms. Hopefully, King will show us how trade routes are set up!
That impressive pig to Achaea kept them out of the Civil War.

Been follwing this excellent AAR.
I have to admit I didnt think you could get out of that rebellion situation, especially when the hordes showed up but nice work.
However, what concerns me is that the rather large rebel army should have been able to walk all over you (us) right off the bat. What was stopping them from laying seige to your rich provinces and thus denying your ability to raise an army or, why didnt they try to rout your puny army in open battle before you were able to raise a new one. Im just concerned about the AI's ability to prioritize in these situations.
Keep it up, I look forward to reading it every morning.

I think it was dealing with the small armies he raised to siege? I think..could be wrong.
Great job crushing the rebellion!
So, I suppose our next plan of action should be a path of rebuilding and strengthening of the Macedonian economy and army. Rebuild in our ravaged cities and make sure nobody is able to capitalize on Macedonia's plight. Lastly, there is always room for colonization, diplo-annex the remaining Greek states and grab all the free land to the north available.
Macedonia Uber Alles!

Hey, everyone agrees it's time for peace
But Sol Invictus is right- we need Greek states. And Sol Invictus is wrong- we need to expand to north as well. But yes, some peace and quiet please.

Perhaps while you're selecting loyal governors and generals, you can show us the slider menu which has included things like 'centralization vs decentralization' and 'Political left vs Political right' in previous games? What government types are available?
Also, how goes the research for new techs?
Are any new National Ideas open? If so, which ones? How about you detail all of the NIs you can currently select from.

Consolidaion it is. I will see how many question can be answered in todays update.
I think you should try to expand to the north, and against the Greek states (by any means necessary) However also consolidate and try very hard to avoid a war with another large power.
