Thanks a lot for the advice, guys.

Right now on my campaign:

I played med/med because I'm a total EB noob. I took Pellas with my elephants, disbanded them, and then marched south to Demtrius. Took it with some help from my spy...=D. Then, the Konion Hellion decided to bottle up the passes north of Athens, preventing me from getting to Attica, Euboea, or the Pelopennusus. (sp?) So right now I've just besieged Athens. Speaking of problems:

1. I really can't afford to replace any gov. buildings.
2. I can't retrain troops using Makedon buildings, we do not share barrack MIC's. (Though we do share foreign native MIC's, so I can atleast make and retrain those hoplite thingies)
3. I can't make elephants (Ok...just kidding. When can I make more of these though?)
4. Italy. My army is just sitting there, looking useless, because the Romani do nothing and I couldn't afford to keep my fleet around. Should I just ignore it and leave until later?
5. Those MIC's are too expensive. For that matter, all trade buildings are too expensive. At least I'm not in debt...yet. (2 denarii, with a profit of about 400 a turn) I hope Athens and Euboea will get my some money...
