Ahoy threre --

about a month ago I was made redundant - and with much more spare time I decided to start a new campaign.

I decided to go with Pontos - for a number of reasons - and after a slooooooow start this faction started to great traits.

BUT THEN DISASTER!!!! A virus caused havoc on my computer and I have had to re-format it. Unfortuantly I did not manage to get a screenshot of my empire - which was inspired by the persian empire of darius the great - which stretched from cyrene to patala and all the territory in between -

I used a new tactic - Pillaging the carthagianian empire ( which had foolishly attacked me ) - by conquering most of their cities ( exluding the algerian and morrocan ones ) and destroying ALL of their buidlings - including wonders ( for which the city of carthage is a gold mine! ) and then simply buggering off and leaving them to take their cities back. hehehehehee

I'm unsure whether to strart playing again - continuing this game - OR starting a new one - OR wating for E.B II -- BUT i dont know how long away this is.....

any help would be greatly appreciated..
