Is Pontos impossible? Success stories wanted.

[Tanit]

Am just starting a Pontus game on VH/VH using the BI exe. Wish me luck! Its only 270 BC and I have already captured Sinope and am besieging Nikaia. With the RTW exe I was previously able to attack the Seleucids right away and dominate Anatolia fast enough to rebuild before they could send big armies after me. But that proved far more difficult on the BI exe, not impossible, but I was getting frustrated so I started over.

VH/VH? You're dead, Tanit. Your faction leader will be nailed to his own palace door....
