Really? Why would I conquer all? There so many factions I am looking forward to lead in the future. Is there some surprise other than the type I gov in Persepolis and Suza I read about?
I am considering playing all the way to 172 to see the Yuezhi but I think that's where 'll draw the line. i've already sort of decided not to destroy the Koinon (it would require of me to take ambrakia and epidamnos which would probably rebel soon and drag me into a war with my friendly Epeirote neighbors allied to the Romani). I like peace at the border which is why I intend to crush Bactria all the way to india if i have to, for bribing 3 of my border cities to the east just as i was making ready to complete vixtory conditions. I think now the 've incorporated a word for Hai into their language as a synonym for divine wrath!!! (nice RPB babbling dont' you think?)

On an other note, and please tell me if I should open a new thread for this one. What's the difference between a kontos charge and one with maces (alt + right click) by Armenian kataphracts for example. Does one have effect against armour while the other doesn't? and if so which? what's the point of having a non-effective against armour attack? In general could someone elabaorate on this?
