    Thumbs up Bactria!!!

    I have just finished my Bactria campaign and thought this an excellent opportunity for another boring "Thank you Thank you Thank you" post for all the hard work creativity and diligence. I have been playing Total War since a little after Rome and tried pretty much everything that came after (BI, Alexander, MTW2, Kingdoms, even Empire though that was a terrible disappointment). I still cant get enough. The Bactrian campaign was very very satisfying and I recommend that everyone playing EB try it. I just felt the need to drop a note and let everyone know what i thought of it! Really really satisfying... fulfilling as anything I've played in the Total War Series. Once more GREAT JOB!!! MANY THANX!!!

    Yeah the campaign as baktria is very interesting indeed! I remember I had some luck and the Seleucids left me alone for some good time which I spent eating their eastern provinces and when I was rich enough I got tired of annoying Pahlava and Saka so I went on a hunt against the nomads> with my mines I raised a fullstack of baktrioi hippotoxotai, a pair of hellenikoi kataphractoi and a few prodromoi and levy skirmishers for garrison. I gained nothing valuable from this campaign, except for a secure flank. Then I captured India, and turned west into the AS. Then my PC died and I lost my campaign :(

    Baktria is easy actually, I spam archer spearmen and peltastai, and still win significant territories before AS start the usual Argyraspidai spam and I must counter em with phalanx on my own

    That is why I quit playing on VH!
    H/H is ok for me, although battles needs careful leadership my HAs have no problem since upper diffuculty setting does not give any bonus on defence...
