Hello Everyone!
I need some help regarding my game, i am 22 years into the game and I've expanded overseas quite a bit and created a Spartan led Greek Empire.
From Massilia in the west down to Kyrene and Alexandria in the South and up to Ipsos in the East.
If some of you wonder why i took Alexandria its because the Seleukids captured the city and overran the Ptolemaos and i had to intervene or risk the Grey Death from becoming "too" strong later on.
But here now comes my dilemma, after years of fighting i cant help but find myself annoyed by these little buggers:
They are just soooooo hard to kill!!! Specially the ones fielded by the Seleukids!! they constantly send me an army with 2-5 Argyraspides' and some of them have triple silver chevs that make them hard as bricks to route even when you flank/surround them! I like the challenge but in the long run sooner or later i think i'l be overwhelmed
I hope the AI isn't smart enough to send a all Argyraspides army haha.
So my question is, as the Hellens what can i do to counter them better or to KILL them faster? I do employ the Hammer and Anvil tactic but most of my heavy cavalry is busy in Asia Minor.
Here are the units i field in Egypt.
I also wanted to ask as the Hellens what assault infantry is available for me to recruit? atm i use the Thorakitai Hoplitai to fill in that role since they have swords and do prove useful in flanking phalangites. the Thorakitai are also proving to be very good but other than those 2 the only unit i can really rely on is the Epilektoi Hoplitai. But they are too few in numbers and rather expensive.
Thanks and Cheers!
