Actually (as mentioned) Pyrrhus ordered them given away for free to the Thrakians. His diplomats couldn´t find any pure-blooded Thrakians, but decided the Getai were close enough, and so now Getai controlls all of Epeiros and Illyria Hellenike. They´re building huge armies in those two cities, and will hopefully use them soon.Originally Posted by Timidus
As for planning ahead, I tend not to do that with these kind of campaigns. I´m just role-playing after their traits (okay, maybe I´m exaggarating Pyrrhus a bit) and havn´t planned what will happen when Pyrrhus dies, except that Helenos will probably become king and continue his daddy´s crazy crusade for wine and bearded women.
As for taking Egypt, that seems kinda smart, so definitely won´t be Pyrrhus next action. More likely he´ll go for some isolated backwater province with no use what so ever. But I´ll have to play and scout a bit more before I can tell any more detail.
Edit: Just like to add, that the army in the screenshot is actually my only one. The samnites and Brettians were disbanded after the battle and a unit of Thorakitai recruited, apart from that all I have is Alexandros and his bodyguards. So I only have 8 units at the moment, plus the 3 ships you get from the start.
