Was that Hai buffer between you and Pontus your doing? Must have been nice to face the "Purple Nasty" rather than the usual Yellow or Gray Death.

KH too. they have a city in the baltic.

the spartan's must have been tenacious eh?

What type of army were you fighting in your war with KH dude?

Thanks guys.

Pontus was the big AI suprise they were my allies for most of the game and early on I gave them and the Hai money but nothing else until about 150BC when the Ptolies started to fight back. Since they attacked me as well I invaded Syria and Judea and gave cities back to the Pontics.
Ultimately they took Pella so I had to respond and I had a long, long war with them and the Saba, which only ended when I created the Hai buffer state from conquests.

Celtic Punk KH armies in the 140's were lots of distinguished hoplites, but towards the end mostly peltasts, pantapodrai and light Black Sea Hoplites.

Towards the end it was the Saba who fielded the most varied armies, the Sweboz may have had a good mix, but I had few battles with them.

In the later game things far out east changed a lot when I dumped several million mnai on the Saka and Saraumatae!
