With luck the Makedonians will respond to the Ptolemaioi pursuers likewise... In any case it should increase the amount of battles per turn between Makedonian and Ptolemaic forces; thereby whittling both powers down a bit further. And it's all about buying tine and diverting Ptolemaioi eyes...
Got it...I've seen this myself in other regions so I understand what you're saying.

Another (perhaps silly) question: Do I have to negotiate safe passage of my armies through allied Makedonian territory? Or does the alliance take care of that implicitly?
