Aphistamenoi: who are these jerks?

Turning campaign difficulty on Hard seems to make em a lot more passive.

Also, leaving them alone to their briganding business will prevent them spawning again.

Also, leaving them alone to their briganding business will prevent them spawning again.

Although then if they're straddling trade routes they'll take a slice of your income.

Besides they're good practice for young generals.

[PershsNhpios]

Give them a-phisting..

Ha ha ha ha ha.. Or turn them off in Descr_Strat - I did - it works the same way as natural disasters.

Just have a stack of about 6 units and a general in Roma or some place central, that you want to give experience to. Every time they spawn send your little stack out and auto resolve the battle. The troops and the general will get some decent experience. I do this to get a nice experienced core of units to create a full army/legion with later on.
