What would you do with this campaign??

If I was mean, I'd write "restart on VH/M". :-)

But seriously:

I'd use Forced Diplomacy to rearrange the map a bit. I'd give Iraq and Syria back to AS. Everything east of Persia, India included, I'd split between Baktria and Parthia. It's a shame Saka got destroyed...

Hayasdan and Parthia should be removed from the steppes. Their cities there preferably given back to Sauromatae.

Greeks are fine where they are now. Go conquer (or buy) Byzantion, seal the strait with a fleet and forget they exist. Go conquer the rest of Africa (bordering Eleutheroi is lame and then go for Aedui and Arverni. Have fun.

I actually screwed up in that first post...I meant H/M, not M/H...thanks for reminding me of that!

Interesting ideas...I'm getting lots of options from all of you!

That will be difficult (AI is usually rather conservative about sharing things which may risk its military security) but would of course be best ...

Yeah, I was afraid of that. I've thought about giving Pella back to Makedonia as a gesture of good faith -- how can I call them allies if I occupy their historic capital?! I tried giving it back to them essentially for free, but the vanilla (and somewhat annoying) diplomacy failed. In this spirit, what about trading military access (and perhaps some cash) for their capital? Shrewd or crazy?
