Some screens of campaign map progress for my Koinon Hellenon campaign, which I ended at precisely 1000 turns and took over half a year to play! I might upload some pics of the battlefield at some point since there are some good ones, but I'm too lazy to do that right now.
As you can tell by turn 800 in 73 BC my empire stretched from Scotland to Yemen, with the addition of one more Arabian territory and northern Ireland by turn 1000 in the year 23 BC. However, it wasn't until the mid-2nd century BC that I began to expand in earnest beyond the Mediterranean and Black Sea regions into Gaul and Central Europe.
