Tauriskos needed to get the succession crisis fixed.
He immediately used his resources to approach the men under Antikles’ command, who counted 33.000 men.
Soon, only 9.000 men remained. The rest scattered with the wind, wealthier than before.
But not a threat.
Phrygia in the meantime had their own troubles. Mysia Abrettene had seceded and was without allies.
Tauriskos declared war, wishing to secure the whole country.
Egypt saw this as an opportunity to strike and declared war on Macedon.
Tauriskos was not worried, though. He had the Seleukids, Rome and Bactria on his side.
Mysia Abrettene soon fell, and Egypt were also slowly losing their war of aggression.
Confident in his abilities, Tauriskos did not falter when Phrygia declared war, seeing this as a way to secure more of Asia for his Empire.
Soon thereafter, Phrygia’s Basileus died and left his throne to his two-year-old son.
While Phrygia was waging war with Macedon and a possible civil war was looming over their heads, Egypt was ready to admit defeat.
Soon thereafter, the long awaited Phrygian civil war started.
Macedon gladly peaced out with the youngling Basileus, and then invaded the Phrygian rebels.
Tauriskos is, after all, a benevolent ruler and neighbor.
And so it was that the rebels died an agonizing death.
. Not a very healthy ruling family at the moment. Perhaps it may be an idea to start executing the worst offenders (presuming there’s the option and depending on the negative effects to opinion/tyranny etc - I don’t have Imperator yet so am unsure).
