    Default Your Weirdest Campaign?

    My One at the moment on Vanilla 1.5 Is fairly Different. I'm the Brutti and it's 254 B.C. I'm currently Seiging Conrith. Macedon has put up a good fight and i have suffered a few defeats (only In small-scale battles though) I almost Lost at the Seige of Thessalonica. I'm slowing down now to Improve the Ecomony. The weirdest thing however Is the Gauls. They have taken over Half of Iberia and Have taken over Arretium. The situation Is Northern Italy is very Unpredictable
    I am on fire, but an extinguisher is not required.

    Once I had a Scipii campaign the Thracians took everything in the East then got wiped out by the Brutii. It was long ago in 1.0. Also, in my recent campaigns Macedon always gets wiped out by the Greek Cities.
    "Romans not only easily conquered those who fought by cutting, but mocked them too. For the cut, even delivered with force, frequently does not kill, when the vital parts are protected by equipment and bone. On the contrary, a point brought to bear is fatal at two inches; for it is necessary that whatever vital parts it penetrates, it is immersed. Next, when a cut is delivered, the right arm and flank are exposed. However, the point is delivered with the cover of the body and wounds the enemy before he sees it."

    Macedonians always take over Greece, who migrate over to Asia Minor. Brutii and Scipii never do anything. The Spanish always control Spain, Brits control most of Gaul and Germania.

    once i saw pontus beat egypt (then they opened a can of whoop-ass on me), which is rare as its already been said its usually predictable were certain factions would go.

    in my current campaign as brutii, scipii took all of north africa from the far west to siwa, iberia broke out of their peninsula and actually took mediolonium from the julii (who were useless in this campaign, i actually took mediolonium and segestica and gave them as a gift)...il get a screenie...



    i used toggle_fow cheat.
    (i just showed that army because they are deadly, they crushed every rebellion for many years. also they are units iv never used much and just wanted to see what they are capable of)

    untill recently i had good relations with pontus who held all of asia minor, but egypt started a war with them, so i gave them 100,000 denarii to help fund their war, which clearly didnt work, and also i tried to get scipii to open a second front on them, which they refused (now egypt are attacking them). i had 700,000 denarii about 20years earlier, but lost most of it trying to pay people to win my wars.

    and im sure thrace never usually does that well, usually dacia, scythia and thrace survive a long while with not much territory. the only factions that are not doing something different this camapign is britannia and egypt, both of which i hate fighting.

    i decided to stop after taking the territory i have, 90% of my towns have over 24,000 population usually i dont stop, but this time i got good relations with the surrounding factions and thought id play differently. wish i hadnt now because i would of had asia minor by now and probably judea-alexandria, which would have ment i dont have such a difficult fight with the egyptians, im gonna press for peace, if not blockade all their ports. but iv had most of the full legions i would have used waiting in italy for the civil war for a long while (i have 6 in total). also when i have alot of money i use it to pay people to help me fight, i just like controling other factions actions!

    i just did it to get the screenie showing up-to-date territories, without it it still showed germania as dominant in the north, and pontus with more territories. i dont use it when im playing, i just goto the graphs showing how well factions are doing and goto territory, tells me exactly who has what.

    Not sure... probably I would conquer whole Italy first then try to retake the Germany back... but the first thing I need to do now is rechoose a capital... because the rest of my provinces are not very stable too... one third of them are nearly revolt. If I can't settle this problem, my economy probably would collapse after 40 turns. It was really amazing to me when I saw bunch of my provinces rebelled all together... the areas were so close and big that make you think the AI purposely wanted to recreat a rebel state... (ya, the rebel provinces are exactly the old Germany states!!!! And the Britain provinces are going to rebel all together too...)

    Well, that is still ok... I have played Greek before and the Rome kept sanking my ship when I send a group of generals and army (probably more than three times...)... And the provinces I have lost... 9 I think so... Besides that my Italy provinces are going to loose soon... Anyway, I'm going to finish Brutii and SPQR after a few turns so not thing is going to worry me! (I forget to say that the Germany didn't relive, but appeared as a big area of rebel provinces. And it is possible a re-live faction... such as Carthage, I have seen them relive three times!)

    In my early days. Germanians started with a tiny piece then over something like 5 to ten years they had swept from the top of the map all the way down to the level of italy.
