    I sense sarcasm in Haxe's voic
    The force is STRONG in you, young one.

    By the way, has anyone ever migrated a faction to Ptolemais-Theron, f.ex? To represent Hellenic colonists around the Red Sea area?

    Currently I'm doing a Pontos->Bosphoran Kingdom :) not a very long move, but it really differes from the usual, rather dull, Arche Seleukeia fighting :)

    Just about to try and beat back 2.2k Sauromataes with my 700 man garrision :)

    I've just started an Epeiros-as-Bosphoran Kingdom, I think being a Western Greek faction is a better fit.
    It began on seven hills - an EB 1.1 Romani AAR with historical house-rules (now ceased)
    Heirs to Lysimachos - an EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR with semi-historical houserules (now ceased)
    Philetairos' Gift - a second EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR

    Yeah, started out by doing it as the KH first, but realised something... I would not be able to build an effective heavy cavalry wing, which I'm very foud off, as the western greeks cannot recruit Skythian Nobles. I've got mixed feelings about the Eperiote bodyguards, they've failed me more than once, so i settled for Pontos. They've got good bodyguards (at start atleast, not too fond of their late types either), and can recruit the Skythian Nobles, while still employing a, partly atleast, greek army. Might give it another try with Eperios after though, to see how it goes :)

    It might be a little harder; you can only build type III or type IV governments in Chersonesos and Pantikapaion, and I suspect that's the case in most of the other settlements around the Black Sea (a few might be Expansion, so type II becomes available). That cuts off the heavy-grade factional units.

    I've always thought using Epeiros is the least disruptive to the rest of the game, and besides Greece is already overcrowded with Makedonia and KH.

    Well, Pontos is a good one too. As the AI rarely does anything anyway, It dosn't destroy the balance in asia minor.

    (In my game, greece/asia minor area is going to hell, real fast). The greeks have been ousted from greece proper, but they got byzantion and halicarnissus through rebellion, and relocated there. So far Pergamon and the seleucid city on top of halicarnissus, have changed hands 5 times. And there's still heavy fighting in greece, I'm scared of enterting that mess xD

    EDIT: Well, there'sonly type 2 and below available for Pontos, So i besides Chersenessos & Pantikapaion, I've used type 3 settlements, as I need the regional units more.
    The only factional units I use, are the Bosphoran heavy archers. Real killers in sieges.
