I probably missed my calling as a thespian.

It's never too late, Gus. Find yourself a community theatre locally and go to town.

I see you've all met my Ex-Wife. For several years the name on my driver's license was Un-caring Bastard.

As Armenia, I have almost fully gutted Parthia. They are cornered in the far southeast corner of the map. Pontus has joined the war along with Antony and a few smaller states but I haven't seen any troops from them yet. On my last couple of turns last night two large Parthian stacks stormed into teo of my newly stolen Parthian regions, but I think this is their last gasp.

i think once parthia is broken youre pretty much over the hump - youre now big enough that locally its only Mark Antony that can challenge you, by the time youve fought your way to his lands youre on an equal footing and youre off - either by coincidence or by design you cant break through any territories that arent allied to or Mark Antony himself to reach the military target goal - i thought about avoiding him altogether by either going south and then west but that bumped me up against egypt - in my game the only way would have been north and west through dacia and out into germany - Mark Antony had been defeated by Thrace here, but then Thrace became his ally - once Parthia fell it was a question of sealing off the east and north where the map ends so i knew i was safe and then knocking off his allies one by one until he had the balls to stand with one but then it was too late - as i type this i realise i thoroughly enjoyed my game, and miss playing it but i OD'd making sure i finished the game so i can manage without it for a while

ill be back to finally smite all with Carthage

[Gusington]

Yeah I am planning on going as far east as I can, take out Bactria, the turn left and go north towards Scythia and Arden (?)...then go back west again. Have to rough up these last two Parthian armies. What year does the Augustus campaign stretch to? I am at 5AD now.

[undercovergeek]

just started game - i cant see an end date, i finished in 1 BC, but remember youve got 4 turns per year

Thespian Hoplite?  You chose the snazzy dressers.

[Gusington]

If I showed up for work dressed like that life would become much easier.

[Martok]

Well, I went and did something I almost never *ever* do, which is pre-purchase a game. 

Specifically, I pre-purchased the Wrath of Sparta [shudders at the title] campaign pack.  Dear lord, I'm a fool... 

If I showed up for work dressed like that life would become much easier.

Going to the men's room might be a bit of a challenge, though. 

[Gusington]

Not for me, trust me.

[GDS_Starfury]

Depends

[Gusington]

You read my mind! They're wet and they're dry...my my my my!

Why is the guy barefoot? Kind of defeats the whole armored-head-to-toe thing doesn't it? Though he does look quite impressive so maybe nobody will look down at his feet. Or.... maybe he wants the enemy to look down at his barefeet so he can stick them with his blade. Ingenious actually. By the way, the Wraith of Sparta map is pre-viewed over at the TW Center. 28 Separate Provinces. That's a whole lot of Greece.   http://twcenter.net/

Is Sparta led by the dead? 

Sounds interesting!
