Tips for an Eastern Faction Noob

[Tabeia]

Use horse archers, the computer can't defeat horse archers, so it's extremely easy
Some katas(FMs) are also good to kill the remaining enemys, you can also flee the battle to replenish your arrows

Pontus don't get so many horse archers so you will have to use lots of mercenarys instead, as their initial troop selection is weak, you also start poor, so you will need to get some cities quickly, i like to get byzantium asap
