So i am fairly new and would like to ask some questions on this frustrating mod:p.

1. Wich faction is closest to Afghanistan besides Arche Seleukeia because they suck.

2. Usually in books or movies i read or hear "The persians invaded... blabla" but suddenly in this mod there are a lot of persian factions, wich faction do they mean when they say the persians invaded blabla?? I guess Arche Seleukeia because they are the biggest. My history book also said the persians had an empire stretching from Turkey to Afghanistan and that's how it is to the AS faction.

3. For a beginner n00b like me who can handle cash income but not war wich Greek or Persian faction is the best, all the Greek and Persian factions are very challenging or nigh-impossible.

4. Why are there no easy factions, the lowest is moderate and those are excatly the factions i terribly dislike.

5. Any in-battle tips for me? I play on medium, i usually beat armies outnumbering them but if i am outnumbered i always get screwed. So what should i do to beat a larger army than mine?

6. Why is it so hard to control a large empire, i always have to check every 20 cities with AS that's why they suck. Is it always like that or is there a way to speed it up.

7. There is no shield wall in the game, why they are awesome....

8. Best infantry faction? I hate cavalry, they are there only to flank and even then they die quickly.


Sorry for these stupid questions in a large amount, but if you would be kind enough to answer me thanks a billion.
