THE WORLD BEYOND.
It's turn 254 and it's time I start talking about the bigger picture. One of my spies went on a long trip to the Near East, this is what he learned before meeting a rather unfortunate end in Cisalpine Gaul on his return trip (96% chance to successfully enter the city and he dies).

The Seleucids have been pushed out of Syria, but they look alive and kicking further east. They have some holdings in Asia Minor as well.
The Ptolemies seem healthy, but have lost Upper Egypt for some reason.
Hayasdan looks like its doing alright for itself. Looking out for number one.
Pergamon and Pontus... well, they're there.
I haven't bothered looking at the Nabataeans, but Saba is destroyed, so I guess they're doing fine.
Western and Central Mediterranean:

Rome has expanded both northwest and northeast. Interestingly, they hold Crete and they used to hold Sparta as well.
Makedonia looks like the top dog in Greece and the neighbourhood. KH and Epirus have been resurrected, that and their other enemies might have set them back a bit.
The Aedui and Arverni are in alliance and jointly hold most of Gaul. I am fighting the Arverni atm. I saw Aedui troops parked next to Arverni cities a number of times. It feels like they're acting as a deterrent.
Celtiberians/Lusitanians - They attacked me and are now feeling the consequences.

Pritanoi: Aedui (I did saw them in northern Gaul/Belgium)
Swȇbōz: at war with Lougiones and Boii
