Empire X - Turn Eight (280-270 BC)

Situation in 280 BC

The revolt dice land 2-1, meaning Armenia follows neighbouring Pontus's example in throwing off Persian/Parthian rule.

Andy is drawn first, but his Carthaginians fail to conquer Gallia, and there is more bad news for Andy when Reg's Romans expel the Carthaginians from Magna Graecia.

This is the last turn in which my Macedonians receive a +1 modifier as part of Alexander's legacy, but that is not enough when I try to capture, for the second time, Parthia.

Finally, Richard also fails, in a counterattack against Macedonian-controlled Persia.

Rome has a long way to go to achieve greatness
