A bit of help with Eprius?

[Reverend Joe]

In regards to your Taras problem: if you are planning on focusing on Greece, just disband all the units in Italy and raze all the buildings you can. Think of it as a rebellious mercenary problem or an evacuation/pillage-fest if you are bothered by the unsportsmanlike aspect.

On the other hand, though, you're doing good if you can keep your income in the black so early; one of the toughest parts of EB is overcoming beginning-game debt.

In regard to my campaign:

I took Athens and am finally making money. Taras was lost to the Romans so took my by surprise with a siege. My army bested the last three Makedon generals at Corinth, in, ironically, a pyrhhic (sp?) victory. Currently, my newly retrained army is coming down south from the capital, intending to drive back the Hellenic League's attack on my newest province. Thermon is still rebel, and Euboea went rebel after the whole Makedon family tree was wiped out during the Battle of Corinth. All in all, I think I'm doing quite well.

I just started a Epirus campaign yesterday. Managed to quickly conquer Pella and Demetrias and then get a ceasefire with Macedon. Then I saw Athens was hardly defended and I conquered it. In the meantime I built stone walls in Taras and I managed to defeat the first Roman army that attacked it in a heroic victory. Cavalery is no good when attacking stone walls
All in all, i'm doing just fine.
