Faction balance in 1.1

[Swordmaster]

Compared to the 0.81 days, the balance is admirable in the game nowadays. Not seeing Epeirotes in the Baltic or Baktrians in Carthage is really okay for me.

Again I'm not saying it's terrible, just that there are a few noticeable trends which might be things to address in 1.2, assuming it does anything more than incorporates all the fixes.

I might be wrong but one of the causes of the macedon problems could be their possession of Mytilene. There usually is an almost full stack lurking around there doing nothing but cost them money, where they could be of better use in their mainland possessions. The AI seems to think it's necessary to garrison that city heavily (probably because of the strong Pergamon rebel garrison) but doesn't attack it. Moreover, it usually takes quite a while for anyone else to take Pergamon, so maybe removing the landbridge to Pergamon, thus turning Mytilene into an isolated island might help. The KH in comparison don't garrison Rhodes that strongly.
