I tried Briton as well and I ended up with Germania and Gaul at me from the get go (4 or 5 turns into the game). I'd hate to see how it ends up on hard or very hard mode. No matter how hard I try on multiple runs of the first 15 or so turns i end up drawing the ire of 4 or 5 seperate factions. I also had an alliance with Dacia and all of a sudden they break that and march on me as well. The brutii who were constantly attacking thermon decide to back off and go after me now, even though i had a good relationship (trade rights, map information). Next thing i know, maybe 4 turns after my alliance with thrace i have them knocking on thessalonica and forming an alliance with greece in the same turn. I secure the alliance with thrace and start marching on greece. I'm going to be busy with greece and i don't want to bother fighting two wars on two seperate fronts. Everyone i try to ally with ends up coming back at me in a couple turns.Įxample : I'm playing as Macedonia (m/m), first turn i send a diplomat to thrace to get trade rights, and i figure while i'm there i'll get into an alliance. I've had problems with every campaign i've started since the 1.2 patch. The next turn they break the siege and go home. After more than a century of being faitfull allies the Dacians besiege one of my cities.

They blockade my port in Iberia and attack. You'd think they could be grateful, but nooo. they get Carthage and my other nearby teritories. I however don't want to get into a war with Egypt so what I do is I send a diplomat over to Palma and offer the Carthaginians the following: As Germania I destroy the Romans and conquer part of northern Africa.

I will teach them to mess with me.īefore the patch I had some really weird betrayals. Well at least I manipulated them into a war with the Romans and Parthia (remember the city I captured? It became a gift.) And since the Seleucids (a protectorate of Egypt) were allied with Parthia they are now no longer a protectorate and the backstabers are pretty much surounded by enemies.

They sent no invasion force whatsoever (until I captured one of their cities that is).
