He has got a point though the factions movements is always similar, i have never known the romans to expand into greece, spain or corsica, sardin, well anywhere but gaul, they r always overpowered by lustana. AI movements arnet too good i must admit i actually bribe cities to try and shape the globe

I remember a long time ago on an old Eperios game, the Romans landed a decent army just south of Ambrakia. They didn't get very far, seeing as I was Eperios, but if it was just the AI, I bet they would have wiped out Eperios.

More importantly Cute Wolf how the Dickens did the Saba get to the coast of the Med and what type of troops do you get there?

I don't really play horsie factions but if you can move over there and get yourself a bit of infantry and money it could all of a sudden become interesting!

Thanks

one thing I have noticed is that the AI can sometimes catastrophically fail to garrison it cities well enough.

This will explain why sometimes you see the ai factions swiftly expanding or growing.

e.g in my current campaign epirus were for a considerable time a regional superpower, making considerable inroads into the Maks and getai territory. Then the getai started to push them back. and finally the maks kind of exploded, taking all the KH territories on mainland greece and pushing epirus back to the periphary.

the maks recently declared war on me (i am haysadan and rule asia minor). They have a full stack besieging me in byzanton, but i notice that in their "heartland" of mainland greece most of the cities are poorly defended with 2-4 units.
I intend to exploit this! However i coudl see that a similar situation may arise between two ai factions and that may well explain why the map can seem to change quickly.
