Age of Roma: 300 BCE (OOC/Signups) Open

[Elepis]

Possible but unless Antiochus dies, Arsinoe will never be queen. You can have Philotera for now, if Antiochus's wife died, then you could have Arsinoe as well. Until then, she is going off to Thrace

Fair enough! You never know though. I'll be deploying my royals liberally as generals, as military prestige in campaign is a large part of the social glue of the Seleucid Empire, so Antiochus could always eat an unlucky arrow one of these days, leaving Achaeus heir.

This reminds me of the Lannister's

[Epraria]

Anyone know of Mithridates children?

Ariobarzanes was his son and king after him, that is all I know

Heh, it's always funny when fiction holds a mirror up to history.

[Elepis]

two questions

A: When will IC be up
B: What is the time scale?

[The Ik Ka Ek Akai]

You're accepted, plain and simple. The OP can alter the verdict, but Alou has yet to do so. You'll just need to bump it for him when he comes online.

Alright.
I made a list of possible units for the colchian army. Do you think this is reasonable?
-Scythian heavy cavalry(lancers and horse archers)
-Kartli/armenian mountaineers
-Persian-like light troopers
-Greek hoplites
-Graeco-scythian hoplites and cavalry
-Scythian light cavalry(lancers and horse archers)
-Greek noble cavalry
-Greek peltasts
-Persian chariots
-Armenian cavalry(light and heavy)
-Colchian cataphracts
-Greek, light watch cavalry

Seems good

[Prusslandia]

Ik,,can you help me with modifiers ?

[G-Tech Corporation]

It's worth noting that Greek pikemen are the going frontline unit in the near East at this time; Armenia probably at least has some native pikemen, and Greek mercenaries.

Guys, I just wanna say, Thank you for naming the alliance after my Nation (Rhodos). It gives me a warm heart, thank you

"Rhodesian" just sounds so fancy, how could we not?

Because Rhodesians are fantastic

And not the same thing as Rhodians, to be fair.

Sorry- which country are you?

[The Ik Ka Ek Akai]

Country: Arverni
Demonyms: Arverni (Gauls? Celts? Celtae?)
Currency: Gold Coin
Name of Ruler: Brennus of the Arverni
Do you know where it is on the map?: Yes - dark green blob central/south of modern day France.
Population: No source - 550,000

In-Game Focus: Unite the Gallic tribes beneath a single banner. Attempt to create stable borders with any foreign powers while the Arveni's position is consolidated.

-101- (Keep this so I can find your app)

fun fact, Auvergne is named after the Arverni. Accepted. The Arverni are also one of the major alliance leaders in Gaul, contrasted with the Aedui.

The Nordi/Vikings. I've already got one in mind that gives me a constant casus belli for war; warfare is an integral part of their culture.

But what about his "Rhodesians?"

Fear the Seleus Scouts of the Rhodesian Alliance.

A good thing about sending off children to marry is that it gives you many CB's for war

Indeed; the main reason I like our marriage alliance. We both already have claims to the other's lands, so it can't be a sneaky effort at taking over a bloodline.

[Epraria]

Well i barely have anyone to marry of.

[G-Tech Corporation]

I'm in the same boat. Historically a lot of my dynasty are already married.

[The Ik Ka Ek Akai]

To be fair, it didn't exist yet, so "Rhodesian" is simply the fancier way of saying "Rhodian"

[The Ik Ka Ek Akai]

You're in a bad spot here- stick with Seleuces and his belovedness or sacrifice stability for a custom dynasty.

[Elepis]

I still have 8 people to marry off
With Thaïs (2nd wife):
Lagus
Leontiscus
Eirene
With Eurydice (3rd wife):
Ptolemy Keraunos
Meleager
Argaeus
Lysandra
Ptolemais

Very much it was. Keep in mind, though, that Germanic nations, because they were so warlike, rarely actually claimed land. War got a lot of loot, some slaves, perhaps a few concubines, and a ton of prestige, but it rarely resulted in actual expansion. Worth noting is that Germans hated Celts, so maybe a modifier for that could be tossed in among Germanic nations.

A modifier for enhanced naval warfare can work as well.

For modifiers, something should be said about Norway's role in the Germanic world. It is the coldest and most northernly, so certainly a winter warfare modifier. It's one of the holiest sites in Odinism, so there's also that. They're also relatively unblocked with access to the North Sea in contrast to the Dani and the Geats and the Gutis, who all have to circumnavigate Jutland to get to the North Sea.
