Huh, didn't know that. Thanks.

Thnx a lot for the response guys. Well, it's gonna be 1- a defensive war in Southern Italy and waiting for the March or Time......or 2- an all out war with Roma and give them back Roma and another city once they are Huge. Time to send in the spies to check out the progress of the Romani.
I am lucky though, Epeiros still had the heel and the toe of Italy and recently kicked the dudes from Carthago from Sicily. So, since I am playing with the Koinnon Hellenon, I can use their lvl 4 barracks there to keep up the invasion and have not to wait for reinforcements from Hellas all the time.

If you're not going to use the balloon that Maion gave you, can I has it?

Try to weaken the Romans as much as possible. Their smallest cities should be Arpi and Ariminium. Take them, since they won't be essential. Try to leave Capua, which shold be their second most populous city, after Rome.

sure, go ahead ans take the balloon:)
And the invasion is not going so good. Pontos is nocking on eastern door, the Ptolemies as well. And I had some "collisions" with several Romani Legions and about 4 full stacks of Epeiros armies. So now Taras is under siege.....I just hope my reinforcements will arrive in time.

Sounds interesting. Would be nice if you could post a screenshoot of your empire.

The siege of Taras ended with Epeiros withdrawing to deal with a Quarthadast army in Sicily. So my reinforcements marched south-west to Rhegion and captured it after destroying the relief force. The rest went smoothly from there and now my troops are laying siege to Syracuse. And it must have been after the capture of Rhegion or Lilbeo, but my phalanx troop are now available!!! And I didn't even get the March of Time event. Perhaps it's because I captured Southern Italy?

Here's the screen from my empire, taken a few minutes ago.

Muhahahahaha, beware Roma and Pontos! Here's comes da Phalanx!

There is no eventscreen or message for this event, like the one in vanilla. I guess the Romani upgraded on of their cities to huge. But now you no longer have to hold back. Go and sack Rome and all their other cities!
