Four-Player Empire: Turn Eight (280-270 BC)

Situation in 280 BC

My joy at the end of the last turn at seeing Carthage gain respectability in terms of provinces conquered is dispelled when Numidia revolts for the second time.

The Macedonians are drawn first, and easily conquer Bactria, eliminating the last Persian-controlled province. If the Persians return (by successfully fomenting rebellion in their homeland of Parthia) they will be known as Parthians, and I shall refer to them as such from now on.

Rome is drawn next, and Richard again attacks Sicilia, but rolls a lowly 2.

The Parthians roll a 5, one short of the 6 needed to create a rebellion in their homeland.

Finally I again reconquer Numidia, thanks to a roll of 4.

The Persians are gone
