Poll: scale the difficulty of each campaign

[Blxz]

I think there are quite alot of sucessful campaigns of the hai (or hye, whatever) out there. They are a great challenge faction and are fun to play. I did them myself back in EB 1.1 I think? (cannot see my sig right now). All those smaller factions are just fun to play. As for siegfriedfr; you really need to lighten up... I have no pictures of my conquest either. Are you going to have a go at me too? Are you going to have a go at everyone who comes along and says they won a difficult campaign? I personally suck as Baktria and have major trouble beleiving anyone can survive as them while at the same time I find Pontus, hayasdan most of the nomads and the Saba to be very doable and fun, doesn't mean i am out getting grumpy at people coz they kick arse with baktria.

On topic, nicely done Brave Sir Robin. I tend to do as vartan says and go west first though. I love the wealth of Asia Minor and the bottleneck of Syria. But once you have some spare wealth its worthwhile for me at least to invest in 2 small stacks of horse archers recruitable from (forget the name) the little town with no walls to the north-east of armavir. Use those to pacify the steppes and then either develop them for some decent money eventually or to clean the sauro's off the map and then retreat and leave them filled with rebels. (justify it as a surgical strike to forever neuter the threat of steppe invasion if you care about roleplay and feel guilty about killing them all).

EDIT: Nope, I did the Hai more recently, must have been early into EB1.2 patch.
