Caria is a formable nation that in western Anatolia, representing a restoration of the ancient Anatolian kingdom and Achaemenid to Argead satrapy. It can be created by a Carian culture countries that conquers all of the main cities of the Carian provinces, requiring the conquest of territories under the control of the Antigonid Kingdom at the start of the game. It can also be released as an independent Macedonian satrapy as a possible outcome of the Antigonid collapse and its aftermath as part of The Antigonid Cause Wavers event chain.

Historically, Caria was briefly revived as an independent state under the rule of the Antipatrid prince Pleistarchos after the Battle of Ipsos in 301 BC, with his rule extending over Lycia and Cilicia as well. He would be expelled a number of years later, and Caria would spend the next century passing between the control of the various Diadochi kingdoms in the region before being definitely annexed into the Roman province of Asia.

Formation requirements

Caria can be formed by decision by any country with Carian primary culture that manages that owns certain territories historically important in the area. While no country starts with Carian culture, Caria can still be formed by dynamically created client states or revolters that are released from Carian cultured provinces.

Greek tradition group

Caria can also be released by the Antigonid Kingdom under certain conditions during its collapse in the The Antigonid Cause Wavers event chain. When Macedon receives its event to seize territory, it will be given the choice to either release Caria as an independent ally (usually under Kassandros's brother Pleistarchos), as historically, or annex the provinces directly into Macedon. If the Antigonid Kingdom decided to abandon Asia for Greece, Caria will additionally include the former Antigonid territories in Cilicia (proper), and under some circumstances might also extend to any former Antigonid territories in Milyas and Lycia. Note that when released this way, Caria will have Macedonian primary culture and Hellenic state religion like the other Hellenistic satrapies and Diadochi states, and will not include any territories already annexed into Macedon before the event fired.

The Antigonid Cause Wavers

The below description is one of several available for this event.

Antigonos' death has, combined with recent setbacks, fractured the stability of the cyclops' kingdom. His heir and co-king Demetrios, unable to hold together the expiring loyalties of his subjects, has abandoned much of the kingdom to the claims of the other Diadochi while he retreats to lick his wounds among Greek friends.

We have succeeded in laying claim to Caria and Cilicia in the carving of the kingdom's corpse. However, Pleistarchos Antipatrid has been doggedly citing his record of loyalty and the distance of the province in order to justify being appointed our satrap in Asia...

Release requirements for Caria from the Macedonian partition of the Antigonid Kingdom. Caria can be released if the Antigonid Kingdom owns at least one dark blue or purple territory, and will generally only be released from Antigonid territory. When released, Caria will usually take all fully coloured dark blue territories as well as the fully coloured light blue territories if the Antigonid Kingdom decided to abandon Asia for Greece. The striped territories are not usually released as part of Caria, but may be if they are owned by the Antigonid Kingdom when the event fires, including some of the purple territories if Macedon owns enough of the province at that point.
