Third Session: 499 - 507
----------------------Country List----------------------
Rome: AI (for HotSax)
Carthage: AI
Egypt: KenG
Macedonia: AI
Pontus: AI (for Sheltonious)
Armenia: Pax25
Bosporan Kingdom: Camara
Well, the map upload didn't go so well, but I'll work on that.
Tonight's session was a bit bumpy. We re-hosted about three or four times due to random crashes and out of synch errors. We (ie, Camara) fixed one bug, but that angered the gods and they struck back at the Bosporus Kingdom, taking provinces from them instead of awarding them their just fruits of war.
Armenia beat SE mercilessly and ended up taking several provinces. Egypt had yet another Civil War, which it won this time, and then tried its hand at beating SE. The opportunistic Macedonians then came in on the side of SE. The fools.
Rome and Carthage were quiet, I think.

Save File for Tomorrow
Here is the save file from last week's session:
Everyone will need to download this to their save games folder so that we can all start with the same file. For some reason I have not been able to do an in-game file transfer, so until I get that kink worked out, we will need to use this technique instead. The few EU3 MP games I've been in did the same thing.
If we have a crash in mid-game, whoever is left standing should post their save game here, so that we can all re-load with it.

Once More with Feeling
Ok: let's see if this map looks better than the last one:

Well, the link works. Now to get it to just show up here without having to click on it.
Other monkeys do it, so maybe if I just try...

Notes: 499 - 507 AVC
Thanksgiving cut into my writing time, and put some dents into my memory, so here are just a few short notes on the state of the world as I remember or imagine it to be:
So what did the much improved 2.2 AI do when it was Rome and on top of the world? It went north! It removed its foot from the neck of Carthage, letting it rebuild its armies and navies in peace, and turned its attention to conquering Gaul. I suppose it was just honoring the truce with Carthage. But why into Gaul? Why not grab Epirus?
If Macedonia would stop picking on Egypt and instead ally with Carthage in the next session, the two of them could knock off Rome, or at least take it down a peg and forestall any Roman advance into Greece. Not that there is anything wrong with Rome moving east.
Although the brutish yet quick-thinking Kenamid Philocrates was able to easily win Egypt's third Civil War, and the first of his dynasty, he was not able to inspire his oarsmen to row swiftly. Consequently, when the fleet finally did arrive off Caria, they found only the victorious Macedonian army marching back towards Greece. Kenamid and his army were no more.
The new Pharaoh, though lacking Kenamid's martial abilities, is a charismatic leader who hopes to quickly end the war with the Seleucid Empire so that he can concentrate on helping Pontus, Macedonia, and the other Greek states settle their differences to everyone's satisfaction. Or at least to Egypts.
Armenia: Has a small nation of wild, near barbaric, mountain dwellers ever expanded so rapidly? Where will their ambition take them next? If only the map extended to the east, then the nations of the Mediterranian might have nothing to fear. But as it is, Armenia may soon collide with Pontus or the Bosporan Kingdom.

I think BK should switch to Mace or Pontus if they want to. Maybe even Carthage if they don't mind bordering Rome.
Sounds good to me, even though it will make it much tougher for Egypt. Mac and Egypt are currently at war. Maybe we can sort things out.
I can still be the BK, it's just you probably want a player in a bigger nation like Macedonia.
Tougher for Egypt or me?
I'm not opposed to a white peace if Egypt wants so.

Technical Difficulties...Please Stand By
Ugh. Rome is crashing when I start it up. I think it has something to do with a mod that I downloaded and played over the weekend. I think I need to clear out my map cache or some such.
I'll be there as soon as I can get it going...

Two crashes in a row when trying to host.
I'll try clearing out the map cache again...
