saka advice

[waydog98]

Im currently playing a saka campaign and enjoying it but i have some issues. I want to wait for a while before taking baktra and forming the indo-saka. So im thinking force diplomacy ceasefire on baktra cause if i dont i will end up destroying them. So i was wondering how i could do that. Also i was thinking of raiding the indian cities and letting them rebel. Will they rebel eleutheroi?

Think the Indian cities revolt to the Pahlava for some reason which might cause problems.

Why dont you keep fighting them, but not take their cities...then you wont destroy them

well i hate how the ai make constant never ending stacks

Take a city at a time, raid them, enslave them all, destroy everything, then give it back. Then they wont all die and they cant make decent stacks for a long long time. Once they start to again, just reraid their cities

Yeah, that is a good advise.:yes: Just be sure that when you will be "destroying everything" you DO NOT destroy the gov building. IIRC the script does not place the gov when you give a city to AI via diplomacy and therefore the AI (without a gov) will not be able to build anything, most notably the barracks...
