This is Perseus, the mighty Basileus of Makedonia.



Now he's 59 and it's time to decide which of his two sons should succeed him and lead the Makedonian Kingdom to new glories, as far as Alexandros and beyond!

Either Euphamios...




... or Antiochos?



Euphamios is a bastard. His "mother" was 13 at his birth. I roleplay inappropiate ages of mothers as the children being offspring from the fathers' affairs with their Hetairai. I think that's historically feasable. Plus he is philhellen, as opposed to his father, who strictly follows the Makedonian ways and hates every effete Southron. But Euphamios is the older one, of course, and is elected as successor for more than 20 years now. He is the conqueror of Egypt and would be easily accepted by the Assembly of the Army. Also, Euphamios already has an adult son named Polyperchon which is an idiot.

Antiochos has a great name! And he is better at management. He is not a bastard which means that his mother is constantly telling Perseus to make her son the heir to the throne. He is also misellen like his father. He only has a daughter at the moment. He is very young and could govern the empire for four decades. He has fought one battle since the screenshot and suffered great casualties (blame me), but at least he lost the "very unsure troops" trait.

So I'd like to know whom you would choose for a task nothing short of recreating the greatest empire of all times!
