Four-Player Empire: Turn 20 (160-150 BC)

Situation in 160 BC

This is the last turn, and the live standings are as follows.

The Carthaginians have 17 victory points (12 from the city's imperial legacy and five from turn 10).

The Persians/Parthians have just the 12 victory points from their imperial legacy.

Rome has five victory points from turn 10, with 13 to come from its current holdings (consolidated ITALIA counts as three), making 18 in all.

The Macedonians have 11 victory points from turn 10, with 12 to come from their current possessions, making 23 in all.

The revolt dice see Persia throw off Macedonian rule, reducing Andy's victory points to 22.

The Parthians are drawn first, but fail to cause rebellion in their homeland.

The Romans attack the province of Asia, easily conquering it with a 5, increasing Roman victory points to 19 and reducing Macedon's to 21.

I roll a 6, sparking rebellion in AFRICA. Since the province counts double victory points, that takes Carthage's total to 19 and reduces Rome's to 17.

Andy, just for the heck of it, perhaps, attacks Asia, rather than the easier pickings to be had in Persia, and succeeds with a roll of 6.

The victory points tracker shows the final scores of Macedon 24, Carthage 19, Rome 16 and Persia/Parthia 12
