Even before I finished Messana, they had begun shipping over two stacks to defend Libelo. The amazing thing is that after I seiged the town, they sent another stack. After I nearly lost the entire isle, outnumbered, but not out, I held my siege of libelo with my hardened legions (dwindled in number but ferocious thanks to the italian wars).

Get this though... they retreated. In BI, I would expect countless attacks, but they knew when to stop. Alexander AI has definitely won me over.
That sounds awesome. I'm in the process of installing ALX.exe for EB this very second. Man! I'm so hyped up now, I can't wait to play.
