Empire: Turn 20 (160-150 BC)

Situation in 160 BC

If the game were to finish now, the Carthaginians would have 12 victory points from their imperial legacy, five from turn 10, and three thanks to finishing in control of AFRICA and Numidia, making a total of 20.

The Romans would have five from turn 10, and 12 from finishing in control of nine provinces, including the double-scoring IBERIA and triple-scoring consolidated ITALIA, making a total of 17.

The Macedonians would have 14 from turn 10, and three for controlling AEGYPTUS and Armenia, also making a total of 17.

The Persians/Parthians would have 12 from their imperial legacy, and five for controlling five single-point provinces, also making 17.

The revolt phase sees Thracia leave Roman control, reducing their running total to 16.

The Romans are first to campaign. They could attack AFRICA, but even if successful it would not fall, instead Sicilia would revolt from Carthaginian control. Since the Romans cannot overhaul Carthage, they instead attack Thracia, but a throw of 1 indicates a dispirited campaign.

Carthage tries to retake Numidia, but is repulsed.

The Parthians fail to take AEGYPTUS.

The Macedonians fail to incite a revolt in their homeland.

Carthage victorious - at least in game terms
