I certainly hope so, sounds very simmilar to what I started doing with the Maks yesterday.
Anyway my "Argeade Kingdom of Pergamon" has had a nice little start, abandoned all of mainland Hellas and most of my FMs, shipped them to Mytilene then stormed Pergamon itself. Then attacked Bithynia and following that Ankyra.
Seleucids weren't too pleased with that and tried to break the siege at Ankyra kicking off our war.
Current situation is those four settlements. Only had a half stack army comprised of Deutoroi phalanx, Lonchophoroi, Theuros and skirmishers, but I've still got a few thousand mnai going spare each turn (Anatolian economy is looking very good so far) which I'm currently investing in some more supporting inf (ie peltasti and more theuros).
Seleucids have sent very "fair" stacks at me so far with nice balances of troops roughly equivalent to my own stack. They've been shipping in a lot of troops recently though so trying to build my strength up before I go for Ipsos and Sardis (and keep them off Nikaia at the same time, although these are very small stacks).
Fortunately the Ptolies and Pontos have both taken pity on me for the time being so as long as my Alliances with them hold out, my plan is to kick the Seleucids out of western anatolia, and close off the land to them by taking Mazaka and giving it to Pontos. Then it will be a case of either returning to Makedonia proper to retake the homelands, or kicking whoever backstabs me out of Anatolia as well.
Anyways I'll keep you updated if anything interesting happens, looks like things are just warming up
Cheers
