The Empire Strikes Back: Turn 17 (190-180 BC)

Situation in 190 BC

The revolt dice (6-5) see Thracia throw off Roman rule, which will slow my efforts to deal with the Parthians.

Andy's Parthians are drawn first, and he attacks Syria, presumably hoping to follow up by later conquering AEGYPTUS, but rolls 2.

I no longer have Scipio but get +1 modifiers for having had a great captain within the previous five turns and for not having a great captain on turns 11-20. I attack Macedonia, but roll 1.

The Carthaginians roll 5, narrowly failing to reclaim their homeland.

The Macedonians conquer Illyria.

Illyria has lost its independence - a first, I believe, for one of my games of Empire
