Recently, ive been playing as the Armenians, and have done alright for myself....that is until those damn Macedonians in the south declared war on me! Ive found that both individual battles and larger conflicts between the two powers have tended to go back and forth. My cavalry and infantry usually break up their light infantry and hurt their phalanxes, but cannot get a decisive advantage against their quality troops. Recently, theyve been focusing more of their considerable wealth on me, and ive been slowly loosing hard won territory. The problem isnt so much the number of soldiers they have though, but rather the quality. Ive found that even if i surround a unit of foot companions with decent medium infantry, and use shock cavalry to charge their rear, i cannot beat them, and my troops are the ones who break! Any suggestions? A first one would me "dont fight with the Seleucids in the early/middle game," but im wondering if theres any way to defeat their uber units; it seems like their good phalanxes are near unbeatable.
