Who are you at war with??

And don't say: everybody

Rome, Lusotana, Macedonia, Ptolemaics..
Romes enemies=me+2 town aedui
Lusotanas enemies = only me
Ptolemaics enemies = only me
Macedonia has more enemies and bother me every second or third turn

I dont know how Im still holding Alexandria and Memphis (2 main Ptolemaic cities)..
Several times in a row my forces melted away in a siege against their phalanxes but I was saved by time limit..I have only regional units there..no point in bringing in elites from Carthage when they would die in 2 battles..really crazy battles..and its on VH/M

I like building fleets as a prestige thing. Even if I don't have any enemies at sea, having a big fleet shows that I'm a great power. They also help keep my income from exploding an allow me something to disband when my income takes a dive. Plus, every now and then a huge pirate fleet shows up and needs to be crushed.
