I'm streaming 1.1 with the latest WIP patch installed if anyone would like to watch. This is my first time streaming, but I saw folks were interested earlier, and have wanted to do this for a while.

I've wanted to play Arche Bosporus since somewhere in the late .8x patches, which resulted in waiting for 1.0.

The starting position for Arche Bosporus is beaten by a very small number of heavyweight factions. It has high-income starting province with a both a wine settlement and copper workshop, strong AOR units, and a hybridized Greek/nomad army roster allow them to conquer multiple nearby provinces early on as well as hold its own against regional powers like Hayasdan and Pontus.

While your starting army is very weak, bu a focused buildup and rush in the early game can make the difference between regional dominance and defending against stack after stack of Scythian horse nomads. I'm starting this stream almost 30 turns in, having conquered all of Caucasia and the settlement of Trapezos. In the future I think I'd like to do more streams and recordings demonstrating both features of DeI and campaign 'faction spotlights'.

Hope you enjoy. If you miss it, I'm going to try to keep doing this pretty regularly.
