    Oh ? Merely out of curiosity, how do you propose they be "strenghtened" in a way historically accurate then ?

    I'm not going to even touch the rank shallowness of your historical analysis.

    Pontus can get tindonitae and scythed chariots..........what else you want

    That means insta route.... PLUS....you get phalanxes and other stuff....

    Idk ... pontus is pretty strong..especially when you add the galatian regionals at Ankyra.......

    >.>

    Plus they actually expand pretty nicely in 1.1, i had never seen them actually take most of anatolia...the bastids were trying to take over greece when i said AHH HELL NAH and i just sent 2 stacks their way as epeiros...

    No. But neither is the Seles overrunning Pontos inside the first twenty years, which is what will happen if you try the other thing and disband troops. The AI has a rabid hatred of the human player after all...

    So I'm kind of not seeing the points you're trying to make here.
