QUOTE(SubRosa @ Jan 3 2021, 02:33 PM) I was fighting the Seleucids for a while, when I conquered Asia Minor. But after that they just sort of became irrelevant. The Parthians have eaten up all their territory in the east, and I have taken all of it in the west. All they have one territory in the middle, which is far enough out of the way that no one has bothered with it for the past 20 turns or so.
Alas, for the imperium of Seleucus! I’m not surprised tho lmao I have yet to find a non-Seleucid play through where they actually manage to survive the armies of Egypt, *Armenia, Pontus and Parthia on their own. A shame, since their roster is the most powerful outside of the Romans IMO. Words you can hear: OUT OF MOVES, SIR BESIEGING THE SETTLEMENT, SIR THIS LAND IS ROOOMAN IMPERATOR?

I have carried on my war against Parthia. After reaching the eastern edge of the map, I turned south, and crushed them in their heartland. I now rule the land between the Tigris and Euprhates. My original plan was to continue west from this point, and take on the remnants of the Seleucids in Hatra. But then I noticed that the Parthians only had two settlements left, Dumatha and Bostra, and those were only lightly garrisoned. OTOH, the Seleucids now have 3 territories, and some big armies in Palmyra and Hatra. Clearly the Seleucids are going to take some time to finish. If I go after them, that will give the Parthians time to raise more troops. Then they will give me more trouble when I finally do turn to them. So I changed my initial plans, and sent detachments down to take both Dumatha and Bostra. That will wipe the Parthians out entirely. In the meantime, I am building up my main eastern army in Thapsakos in preparation of attacking the Selucids at a later time. Farther west I fought a massive battle with the Egyptians on the bridge north of Antioch. You can see the city in the distance. It's a nice looking city. I think I'll have itThe governor has a swanky pad

An inferior faction, because it is not the Seleucids. In fact, all factions, including the Romans, are inferior to the Seleucids.
Nah, I’m just kidding lmaooo I think the Sage is playing the Amazonians from her mod

Ooo! Isn’t there a Total War game out now that features the Amazons as a playable faction?

Ooo! Isn’t there a Total War game out now that features the Amazons as a playable faction? There is now. I discovered Troy Total War, which is one of the smaller entries like the Britannia TW they put out a few years ago. That has two Amazon factions. Before that, there were only a handful of female units you could recruit as the Scythians, and one Amazon chariot unit that the rebels had in one city. The whole reason I created Amazon Total War was because of the lack of female representation in the franchise.

Just when I thought I was out, the Amazons pulled me back in. I am now playing a Bean Sidhe (Banshee) campaign. I smashed the Gauls with swordswomen and chariots. Now I am crushing the Germans and Romans. I am about done with Germania. Not because they are nearly wiped out. Beyond them is the Valkyrja empire, which I would rather not fight. They are Amazons as well, and will give me much more trouble. The Germans are easier to deal with. So I intend to leave a narrow strip of their cities between them and me to act as a buffer, and just slaughter the Germans whenever they are foolish enough to raise my ire. Down south I am going all out against the Romans. I have two full-sized armies down there now, one for the east coast, one for the west. I just got the ability to create onagers and my high-tier archers. So it is going to be a city-taking, slaughter fest. Complicating things are the Gorgons. They are the final Amazon faction, from the western Sahara. Why they are coming up on boats to land in my territory in northern Italy is beyond me. But they keep doing it, and keep distracting me from the Romans by attacking the cities in my rear. I have been forced to thrash them on numerous occasions. I am going to have to create a picket line of ships out at sea, to ward off their amphibious landings. Facing off against the GermansOh noes! A flash flood!Charge!Killer QueenThis game has gone to the dogsI never got the Marian Reforms the last game. Normally they are triggered when a Roman faction builds an Imperial Palace in one of the cities in Italy. The Imp Palace is the highest tier government building, which you can only create with a Huge level city (24,000+ people). So I tried using the console to force the reforms. I put a spy in Rome to find out what its population was. Then I went to the console and used the command to add population: add_population Roma 7,000 Then I waited until the next turn, and hoped that the AI started building an Imperial Palace there. So I used the console to automatically complete all buildings in the queue for the city: process_cq Roma That did it! The Romans got their snazzy Imperial Legionaries. And all my generals got their bodyguards upgraded to their armored versions. Note that you have to use the internal name of the city, from descr_regions_and_settlement_name_lookup.txt. That might be different from what you actually see in the game. Hence in this case Roma, rather than Rome.
