short campaign with twist

[trench]

Playing as Parthia i started a "short campaign" - Vanilla Rome

The rules to winning was to outlive the Selucids and Egypt and have 15 provinces.
Well - i got 15 provinces and eliminated Egypt.
But wanted to keep playing so didnt eliminate Selucids, left them with 2 cities.

Now at point where taken over almost all Italian peninsula, but not any Julii cities.
The game tells me that Julii are about to "WIN" and my work will go to "latrines of history". :tooth:

How are Julii going to win? How to stop them from winning w/o destroying Selucids?

Well the most obvious is to kill julii and take their cities so they don't reach their mark.

you know that there is an option after you complete a short campaign to continue it so it becomes a long campaign.

ok first of all A) ^ hes right B) the Julii must have expanded elsewhere such as in Gaul or into Iberia or even in North Africa, take some of their settlements as quickly as you can, and keep expanding, there shouldnt be a problem slowing down the Julii's production.

Julii´s short campaign goal is to eliminate Gaul and conquer 15 (?) provinces at least.

I guess they already have slaughtered Gaul and now it is only a question of landgrab. So your only chance is to conquer their lands, and this way prevent them from having the necessary number of provinces.
