Empire: Turn 18 (180-170 BC)

Carthage and the Parthians have both made remarkable comebacks

More Macedonian woe as Pontus revolts, meaning the Macedonians are reduced to four connected provinces - the minimum needed for launching a campaign when the homeland has fallen.

With the Macedonian threat vastly reduced, the Romans turn again to deal with Carthage, rolling a 3 while attacking IBERIA. This roll gets +1 for being within five turns of having a great captain and +1 for being on turns 11-20 without having a great captain, but -1 for attacking a controlled province, so the attack just succeeds.

Carthage tries to counterattack, but its fleet is lost at sea.

The Macedonians fail to retake Pontus, rolling only a 3.

The Parthians attack and take Syria, splitting the remaining three Macedonian possessions into isolated provinces.

The Macedonian Successor states are surely finished
