{AAR} Ed's short attention span theatre.

Rape Parthia!  Rape Parthia!

I have the feeling that is gonna happen repeatedly. With Caesar, Trajan and Severus.

The Trajan scenario will have extra bonus Armenia rape.

You had me at extra Armenia rape

[Ed Anger]

Nobody likes Armenians.

I vote Pompey.  Because it seems ridiculous that he didn't win.  When Caesar is stuck on the Adriatic Coast destroy him.

I took a look at the starting positions for each side.

Caesar: shitload of veteran legions. Caesars ratings are godlike.
Pompey: his good legions are in Spain. Might as well be on the moon. Rest of his stuff is locked into place. Client king forces look like trash. Rome is undefended. Caesarian unit enters Sicily, Cato runs like a bitch. So Italy and Sicily are lost. Pompey's ratings are okay. He looks sad in his unit portrait.

Caesar vs Parthia.

Okay, the start. Caesar Salad starts in Byzantium with a huge honking army:



Dolabella is in Antioch with ~30K more men. Plus there are scattered locked units and some African cavalry. I order everybody that can move to Antioch to be with Dolabella.



Shit arrives as the game goes on. Cool. Can't recruit full legions, only Vexellio and Auxiliaries.

Parthia hits first, blasting the Cappodicans. I order Dolabella to see them off.



Caesar warps in and I order his force in. Fuck the Parthians.



WHAMMO



Helllllloooooo Nurse! 4 Legions are locked in Egypt. But I decide not to dicker (hehe) with Cleo.



I do pressure King Spellus I Assburger though:



Current Situation:



Caesar takes Edessa. Dolabella is ordered to build a supply depot. A 15000 man force of horse archers and Vextellio move up to support Caesar.

Is anybody really interested in this shit?

[The Brain]

My God yes. I'm liking this ironically.

Is Dolabella a ninja turtle btw?

[Ed Anger]

Yes, the inept Ninja Turtle.

[grumbler]

I'm following this.  Could downsize the maps a tad - they extend off the side of the post.

I like this hypothetical.

[Ed Anger]

That would involve work. Which I am allergic to.

I'll continue the AAR. Caesar gets horse archers!

[celedhring]

By coincidence I'm watching Rome at the moment so yeah, I'm following this with interest.

What other fantasy scenarios are included in this game?

That is the only fantasy one, in the Parthian exp. pack.

The rest are all historical.
