i Have several questions bout these faction.

1 how i can conquer tht piece of desert that is near Maryab and goes to Babylon that place dont have a city and in the faction map is marked was objective to conquer.

2 where i can make heavy ethiopean i have all shouth towns of sabean and i conquered Petra.
my problem is facing the Ptolemai greek/egypt army when they have arabic i dont have much fear but when i start to see the agema and other elite units(sucessors army) ......i hate Phalanax.

3 in the faq i read there is a normal reform for the ones that dont have hidden reforms, my question is these with the reform my army will have more equal power to hold a sucessor army ????
