Rough timeline of Roman Conquests

[Macilrille]

I originally did this over at the .org for EB I, but if you want to expand historically as Roman, here is the timeline- roughly, it is pretty hard to translate the complex political machinations of the time to a TW game...

Ally means Type IV, Ally/Client means it is unclear in EB terms or not covered by them.

Exterminated.
Rhegion 271 BC
Massilia Ally before 1st Punic War, joined Pompei and lost independence 49 BC.
Messana 264 BC ally
Syrakousai 264 BC opposes Rome, but changes sides in face of siege,
215 BC rebels, 212 falls, Exterminate.

allied to the Second Triumvirate and sacked by Cassius in 43 BC,

more than once and I would argue for the final date- which is also the
one my Historical Atlas gives.
Ipsos Western Phrygia with Ipsos was part of Pergamon, but eastern was not
and as the western parts were sold by Rome to Pontos in 120 BC it is
easiest to say it became Roman 63 BC.

That is it for the Romans, feel free to correct the dubious ones as this is compiled only with the help of Pützger’s Historischer Weltatlas, Wiki, Google and E. Christiansen. It is thus very rough, but intended to be a guide with no real detail added (you asked for it). Elaborate and correct as you wish.

Others must track other powers, though I might be able to do a Sweboz as well. That must wait.

Edited to add, notice the military Dynasts' at various points. They are very evident...


Hmmmm.... this looked better in Word, oh well...

[Antiokhos Euergetes]

Good guide, as you rightly pointed out exceedingly difficult to take into account complex political situation at Roma, let alone the rest of the map.
But I nevertheless try to follow a mixture of historical "fact" personal house rules and obviously adapting to AI.

[Poppis]

Aren't many of the provinces/cities renamed in EB2.

[Macilrille]

Yes, but I have a job now- which is also why I quit the team- so if you want to find the new names, feel free and I will rep you for it.

[Yerevan]

Yes I remember I used this timeline for my EB1 Roman campaigns to the extent that now, playing my first EB2 campaign with Rome I restrained from invading northern Italia when my economy and military certainnly allowed it. I focused on devellopment in the meantime.

The other reason for slow expansion is to wait for AI nations, otherwise the campaign is too easy with Rome.

There are not so many governors in the beginning of the Roman campaign by the way.
