hi,

i had this wonderful mak campaign going, crushed the greek rebellion, evicted the epirotes from greece to italy (where they went on a rampage) conquered parts of thrace and the went on to claim byzantium. this however pissed of the seleucids big time. they declared on me and could not be persuaded to back off, not by force of arms, not by gifts, not by forced diplomacy (cease fire lasted one turn only).

i had to restart the game, as makdonian armies indeed are invincible but makdonian soldiers unfortunately neither immortal nor inexpensive.

so i'll leave byzantium alone, but where else does the selecid sphere of influence extend? or the roman one for that matter? is it safe to take rhodes for example?
