omg I finally figured out why the mithridatic wars weren't just some random jockeying between tiny Turkish kingdoms
you have laodice, daughter of mithridates v of pontus, who weds ariarthes of cappadocia, who then gets couped by nicomedes of bithynia and laodice marries him and nicomedes' son by another mother, nicomedes (of bithynia) becomes the enemy of the son of mithirdates v of pontus, mithridates vi (of pontus).
