Megas Ptolomey becoming annoying

[Praetor Diego]

Early in game you should send an army to sack egypcian cities. Dstroy all buildings and abandon the cties to revolt. That would slow down their advance.

Would that help at this point? I was considering doing that but it seemed like something of a waste of resources and awfully unhistoric. At this point, since I am at war with the Gippos, it might make some sense, though not historic (as in my replay I have just taken the entire northern Mediterranean west of Anatolia, basically anything with a coast that faces Italy).

at the start of the game, use money cheats and building cheats and take the ptolemaio cities around antioch and build walls etc up... then gift it back to seleukids and put 10k mnai per turn for 60 turns,
i assure u they'll stay alive for a long time .. even bite back
in my game... baktria has been exiled to india, pahlava has been utterly obliterated to a protectorate,
saka has been having peace... seems to have no units atm...armenia is fighting a 2 font war against gray death and koinon/sauro in the north (sauro is my bosphorus kingdom after driving dem out of greece and taking their cities)


Always in the start of the game, gift money to seleukid.. they'll last longer and be more of a challenge to all the other lesser successor states around it

In all my Roman campaigns the Ptolies had the upper hand. In my KH campaign AS had the upper hand. It usually comes to the battle for Antioch and Anatolia - whoever wins it gains the advantage. But AS are handicapped because if the Ptolies win it they are within striking distance of AS core regions and once those are lost - there's no way back. If AS wins it, they usually push the Ptolies back into Egypt, but I've never seen the AS making a successful invasion into Egyptian provinces.
