Four-Player Empire: Turn Seven (290-280 BC)

Situation in 290 BC

Two 2s are thrown in the revolt phase, meaning Armenia has thrown off Macedonian rule.

Carthage is drawn first, and I naturally attack Numidia, rolling the minimum 4 required.

Rome is up next. Richard could attack independent Cisalpina, although there is a -1 modifier for attacking an independent Cisalpina - the same applies to Gallia - on turns one to 10. Alternatively he could attack Carthaginian-controlled Sicilia, which again attracts a -1 modifier, this time for being a controlled province.

Richard opts for Sicilia, hoping to do me a bad turn, but he rolls a 4, which is one short thanks to the modifier.

The Macedonians are drawn next, and they easily reconquer Armenia.

The Parthians roll one short of fomenting revolt in their homeland.

Carthage at last starts to look respectable
