Ok, I'm done. Here's some screens of the Scythian empire in 195 a.C:

First thing I noticed, it was that we were way overextended, and that, mixed with massive squalor (someone still didn't understand that leaving the taxes in low leads to bad results in long term...), mediocre economy and few armies, could make an explosive (and by explosive I mean bad) combination. Taking all this into account, I decided to abandon some cities that were not worthy of spending large amount of money to mantain, and establish a sturdy western front. As such, Patavium, Thessalonika and that other city in Greece were sold to the romans, with a ceasefire, trade rights and a lot of money as counterparts.
The two eastern settlements were constantly in unrest, so I decided to let them revolt. Now we can retake the settlement and exterminate the population (this ought to keep them calm for awhile).
I took back Porolissum, but not much more, since I was preoccupied in consolidate our power, rather than increase it. Pontus has been a nuisance in our back and we defeated them many times. However, they seem to be gathering a large stack. Be aware.
Our economy is still armadillo but I'm hoping that the extermination of Campus Alanni and the Saka settlement can boost it up a bit.
As of right now, we have two very strong stacks in both Byzantium and Tylis, use them wisely.
CG next?
