What should I do with Asia Minor?

[Hax]

Could I use them as Bithynia?

I believe Bithynia was Eastern. You could of course use Pontos for that.

In which case no dice, I want to preserve Pontos for a goodly long while. Does give an obvious owner for it when I get rid of Makedonia, though.

Makedonia as Krete then? More likely to be inactive as an island, too.

that map resembles what I did in my Makedonian campaign. After kicking the Koinon out of Greece, I was surprised when their army disembarked on the shores of Mytelene (sp?). I only had a family member there, so I pulled him out with my last ship and left the city defenseless. I tried giving the Koinon the town in exchange for peace, but they wouldn't even attack it for 10 years (no lie it was ridiculous).
After that I kept giving money to both the Koinon, Hayasdan, and Pontos to expand throughout Asia minor. I was pulling in atleast 20k a turn so I had no problem throwing cash around. The result is that I am currently marching through Egypt, working my way back to the North in order to knock out the AS's main cities before completing my conquest and hopefully ending the campaign

My relatively final settlement is thus:



At least until I fight Makedonia and Koinon Hellenon some more. What's the chances of being able to turn all those provinces rebel?

Ummm... pretty low I would recon. But one or two might be possible.
I don´t know about the Ptolemais, how long did they have those Anatolian regions?

[QuintusSertorius]

163 and Asia Minor looks thus:



I'm not happy with it. Mostly I don't like the Makedonians and KH having that rich territory. I'm considering giving it to Epeiros instead, but I wonder if I'll just create another monster that way.

Thoughts?

Well, for unorthodox solutions, you could always give Nikaia to the Getai, to represent the Thrakian tribes there.
