Faction Highlights – Diadochi in Asia

Today, we will introduce you to another interesting region in the upcoming Imperiums: Rome vs Carthage DLC. The eastern Mediterranean is the main stage for the wars of the generals of Alexander the Great, the Diadochi, who fight for the remnants of his vast empire.

Alexander’s Empire disintegrated soon after his death and left his generals fighting for power. The desire to become the next Alexander pitted former friends against each other, all memories of past adventures erased and replaced with covert or open hostility.

The arch enemy seems to be the Antigonids who rule in most of Anatole. Adamant in their dealings with the other Diadochi, they hope to win the loyalty of the Greek cities and with their help take the throne of Macedon. They can rely on a strong economy and rich cities, but they are surrounded by treachery on all sides and trust is not something they give lightly.

Seleucus who controls the lands from Syria to Babylon is just as ambitious but a much bigger empire makes it almost impossible to focus all his armies and energy in one place. The smaller kingdoms of Armenia and Cappadocia more or less accept his suzerainty but the Antigonid kingdom in the west is a direct threat to his power and Anatole must be taken if he is ever to sleep well.

Ptolemy in Egypt is relatively far away and thus safe from the endless backstabbing of his former comrades, but even he nurtures great ambitions. He controls the outlying island of Cyprus and southern Anatole and both these territories give him a strategic advantage for his immediate expansion plans towards Syria. Above that, many smaller nations hold Egypt in high esteem and if he could convert their affinity into a pledge of loyalty, it would give him a definite political advantage over the others.

As often happens, power and war lust has clouded the minds of former friends and anyone who accepts a seat of power in this region will face formidable and merciless enemies.
