I have some questions :-)

[Drewski]

1) Im civilized too (by now): i have reformed government

2) with these Hellenic phalanxes you can do anything you like: but, with Pahlavan H/A s you can do miracles of course: but you cannot expect such a miracles, especially against AS elite phalanxes...

Oh yeah, Pahv, is MILES tougher than Epiros, there's no doubting that. In my game, all phalanxes have -4 attack, and (varying) about 1/3 the shield value of standard EB, which makes them a lot more balanced and a little less "all conquering".

I also hate HA with such a passion, I have no interest in playing anyone who starts east of the Bosphorus , but I wish you well in your campaign...

EDIT: Feniks must be: Phoenix
