RTG: A Multiplayer AAR

[Batavia]

Egypt's income is actually the highest in the game right now, although mine was slightly higher when the game started. My alliance with Armenia was initially driven out of concern of what would happen if they allied with Egypt instead; all those wrong-culture provinces that make up the eastern Seleucid empire are of Armenia's religion and culture group, so they could have had a lot to gain from war with me. The alliance with Pontus is much harder to rationalize, as Armenia has been locked into a corner and I could have really used Pontus's manpower-rich Greek provinces, not to mention the Black Sea Toll.

The reason for me to ally Varam is easy to explain. First of all I believe the saying "A good neighbour is worth more than a far friend" to be true.

Second of all. I wanted first to secure the north of me so that I would cut of Pontus . If I hadn't do that Pontus would most probally have cut of all my easy expension possiblities.

The alliance with Pontus may indeed be difficult to explain. There are 2 reasons first of all I was bussy warring the northern tribes and Pontus had a Army almost my size so I tried to secure my border.

The second reason is that after me and pontus had agreed on our spears of influence I saw that Pontus had allied with the Seluciuds so I thought well I should do it to then.
