Welcome aboard, Morticia! I've added you to the player list. What move would you like to make for this turn? Last turn the Boii started constructing a Great City (of Boiodurum, which you've aptly named), which provides nice bonuses for your faction. You can choose to continue construction to complete the city, or attack a rebel region this turn.

Nah, I haven't played total war in a bit, just got a hankering to come on here and reconnect with people. I did play Civilization 5, very very fun especially with the overhaul mod Vox Populii. Also played Cities Skylines, and looking forward to the release of Cities Skylines II later this year. City-building is a genre I never knew I enjoyed so much until I tried it.

Onomaris called the great meeting of the boian freemen together:
" Boian Freemen, our tribe needs a place , where we come together and celebrate the festivals of Beltane, Lughnasad, Samhain and Midwinter solstice. Let us build together the great oppidum of Boiodurum, as our place where we live, love,celebrate and decide about war and peace."
Onomaris speech ended with a great cheering of Noble- and Freemen.
-> Boii continue constructing Oppidum

The Persians had just barely held out against the Baktrian vanguard in recent skirmishes, so when your reinforcements finally arrive the enemy's fate was sealed.
[4+1=5] Ajax and the Baktrian infantry clash head-on into the enemy lines while Captain Achilleon leads the cavalry into a devastating charge against their flanks. The battle is bloody and, n the opinion of Ajax, too brief. A clear victory! (+1 Prestige) You have conquered the region and assimilated its people into your kingdom.

...
... the grateful merchants provide you with some intel on another pirate hotspot (which they overhead whilst being plundered). If the Scythians can smash a few more pirate ships perhaps they'll cease activity in this area
Following the merchants' intel, the Scythians make their way to the far side of the Sea. It's a long voyage... by the time they reach Anatolia the warhorses are clearly unwell and the warriors haven't fared much better.
As soon as they've arrived at the supposed location of the pirates, Queen Tamyris realizes this is not merely a "hotspot"... this is the infamous pirate strongold of Cystorus (Gideros) Bay! And they've clearly received word of your impending arrival. Queen Tamyris had hoped to disembark the troops and torch the vile town to the ground, but a vast & varied collection of armed Pirate vessels intercept the Scythian warboats near the harbor. This is their stronghold and they'll not give it up without a fight!
The enemy warboats and ships converge from all directions. With little room to maneuver in the harbor, the Scythian warboats - though numerous - are easy pickings for the pirates. The steppe warhorses are a burden rather than an asset whilst embarked, and as soon as both sides clash the Scythians realize just how severly they'd underestimated their foe. This was nothing like the previous encounter with the lone pirate vessel.
The water turns choppy with destroyed warboats, thrashing men and beasts. Lest her entire naval fleet be destroyed, the Queen commands the Scythians to fall back & regroup to fight another day. As the remainder of the once-proud warfleet races to safer waters Queen Tamyris is abruptly reminded of the Shaman's vision:

Roaring and cheering, all the warchiefs deny they are cowards and declare they will kill these pirates.
The horsemen have indeed ridden the waves, and now many will never resurface again. This is a painful defeat that will be remembered for a long time to come... (Average naval attack roll is [2]. Scythia receives -1 penalty to initial Naval Attack roll next turn if engaging Black Sea pirates).

The sea is just past this stretch of land, the scouts have confirmed it! Jade grows frustrated as she senses her warriors are getting fatigued, and refuses to be denied access to the Sea again.
No, this will not do. Jade makes her decision. She abandons her vantage point to charge into the thick of her troops, Hollering insults at the enemy while encouraging her weary warriors. Not all the words are intelligible over the din of battle, but the effect was undeniable. The heavy infantry form a shield wall attempting to shelter their fearless leader from projectiles, while the lightly-armored swordsmen and axe-weilders add to the cacaphony with their own battle cries, crashing into the shaken enemy and splintering their shields. The tides of battle have turned! The enemy tribesmen soon abandon all semblene of cohesion and run for woods... [3+1=4] A pyrrhic victory!

That's 4 turns in row for the steppe tribes, good God! This is getting ridiculous. I wonder if we should add a new rule to help out players experiencing really bad luck. I have a thought here, please discuss in the social group if you have any ideas.
Edit: Btw guys to be clear, even if a different faction has "conquered" a Sea Zone, your faction may still travel through it (i.e. traverse it) to attack regions on the other side. As long as you are not at war with the faction that conquered the sea zone, there is no chance of you being blocked. However, Sea zones that have not been conquered by a faction are infested with Pirates, and these pirates will try block you (50% chance). And hostile factions (meaning factions you are at war with) will similarly have 50% chance to intercept you if they "own" the sea zone. This is mentioned in the rules but just want to make sure everyone is on the same page.

Ajax is finding it hard to accept that the battle is already over. Before the depression threatens to consume him again, Xenophon orders the troops to march south. Achilleon leads the cavalry and Ajax, happy, swings his blade at the head of the infantry.
Attack the region to the south of the freshly conquered region.
Iceni fleets in the North Sea will attack the Celtic Sea pirates and attempt to conquer the sea zone. All other NPC factions attempt to conquer rebel regions as indicated in this map:
Politics
Faction Name: Mithridatic Kingdom of Pontus
Government Type: absolute monarchy
Faction Leader: King Mithridates the Poisoner
Name of Capital: Amaseia
Economy
It's primarily based on the buying and selling of poisons and antidotes. Other important commodities include cloaks, daggers, and secrets.
Currency: drachmae (silver coins)
Culture
Pontic culture revolves around the decadent royal court and its complex webs of intrigue and murder. The most cunning spies and assassins are held in high esteem.
Official Language(s): Persian, and Greek
Official Religion(s): Greek Polytheism, Anatolian Paganism, and Zoroastrianism
Military
Armament: iron scale or linothorax armor; bronze helmets; wood shields; iron swords; iron-tipped spears, javelins, and lances; chariots with iron scythe-blades; wood bows and arrows; and catapults.
Land Units: Spearmen, Pikemen, Archers, Light Horsemen (javelin-throwers), Cataphracts, Scythed Chariots, and Elite Assassins.
Naval Units: Biremes (missile warships), Triremes (ramming warships), and Quadriremes (boarding warships).
King Mithridates the Poisoner, aged 44, has become immune to every poison known to man. Now that his throne was secure, Mithridates turned to his ambitions of making Pontus the most powerful kingdom in the world. This began with constructing a mighty navy that now protects the shores of Pontus. Mithridates summons his war council and congratulates his admiral for securing the Sea of Pontus.
Mithridates declares that his palace must be expanded since the royal court has grown significantly in size. He unrolls the floor plan onto the table. His architects and urban planners inform him that his new palace would be larger than the capital town of Amaseia. "Then expand the town into a magnificent city!" the king commands. At that moment the admiral collapses to the floor, shuddering and foaming at the mouth, before lying still. The council look quizzically at the king. Mithridates shrugs. "He was plotting against me."
Plans are drafted to expand Amaseia into a great city, with more smokey taverns, seedy red-latern districts, and sizable apothecaries.
Pontus' Move
Begin construction of a magnificent city in the capital region.

Construction of Oppidum of Boiodurum has been completed! As years pass and news spreads to Kingdoms near and far, your faction's Prestige steadily increases. (As long as you control this city it will grant you+1 Prestige per turn)
As people now flock to your great civilization hoping to bask in its glory, the influx of foreigners also brings increased security risk.

The construction of Boiodurum was completed at Lughnasad and the Boii celebrated it with a great happy festival for everyone. At the festival Onomaris presented the first time her new Royal Guard, which consisted of the retinue of her family, young and old warriors, which owed loyalty to Onomaris clan for food, armour and weapons.
After the festival Onomaris called Bellovesos, a fifty year old warrior and paternal friend, which she knew from childhoods days on.
"Uncle its time to unite the Boii in whole Boiohæmum. Gather the warriors: the young ones and the noble heavy cavalry and subdue the boiian tribes east of us"
And Bellovesos left Boiodurum marching east to conquer the land of the there living subtribes of the Boii.

But it appears the defeated enemy tribesmen that escaped into the woods in the last battle are still bitter at having their land seized. The sore losers must have informed the pirates of your intention to conquer their sea, because an odd night-time coastal raid is conducted by the pirates targeting your supplies - specifically warboats and naval equipment.

This is a major setback! Your advisors say it may be best to avoid the seas for the next several months while the pirates are still on high alert. (Suebi average Naval battle roll [2]: -1 to your initial sea battle roll next turn if attacking the pirates.)
Meanwhile, some of the Suebi are eager to march along the coast and track down the escaped enemy warriors with loose lips (and conquer more territory for good measure). Others disagree - they say they've heard tales of a large settlement built by a rival tribe in the south, and so they now wish to spend the next year building a grand settlement of their own. What will the Suebi do? Jade must now make a choice...

Great City construction starts in the capital.
King Diodoros is highly pleased....he announces a bonus for all the workers! Archimedes, the city planner and supervisor of the construction activities, is also rewarded. Overall, the atmosphere is one of good cheer.
This is not missed by the priests of the various temples...they too offer sacrifices and special worship to the gods. Baktrians throng to the temples to witness these ceremonies, and add in their own prayers that their city sees a greater version of glory.
Finally, a crushing victory! To commemorate this triumph, Chrysippus demands that the food rations of the soldiers to get doubled. They're going to need it, for they are ordered to construct a Great City in the recently conquered province. It's going to be called Chrysippopolis, in honour of His Majesty.

You can choose to continue construction to complete the city, or attack a rebel region this turn.
