Four-Player Empire: Turn Six (300-290 BC)

Situation in 300 BC

Revolt-dice rolls of 1 and 6 see Numidia throw off Carthaginian rule.

The Macedonians are drawn first, and they attack the Persian homeland of Parthia. A roll of 4 is enough as the -1 modifier for attacking a controlled province is cancelled by the +1 modifier for having had a great captain no more than five turns ago.

Rome is up next, and it conquers Magna Graecia on a throw of 4.

Carthage is next, and naturally I opt for trying to reconquer Numidia, but narrowly fail by throwing 3.

That leaves the Persians, who from now on I will refer to as Parthians. Their first task is to foment revolt in their homeland of Parthia, needing a 6 to regain control, but 4 is rolled.

The Macedonians control 11 provinces, including another people's homeland, but the sleeping giant that is Rome is stirring
