where must I invade greece?

[Morte66]

I'd come from the south, so that you can maintain a narrow front and play divide and conquer.

Given your borders you ought to be able to make peace with Epeiros + Macedon while you conquer the KH. Then destroy the European Makedonians. That will leave the Epeirotes isolating you from the other Maks, so you can get a peace out of the Maks while you devour Epeiros. Then you have the Maks across the Bosphorous to finish up (or just hold a border at the choke points and leave Asia i.e. the Seleucids for later).

Also Crete is a place you really want a high level MIC plus blacksmith/temples/whatever for the archers. That takes a fair while to build, along with the health/wealth/happiness stuff to make it work, so you might as well get started early.

Build a navy. Clear the seas, and drop freshly supplied armies right on top of their targets.

First, your navy is going to get sunk by those pirates west of Greece (and your army with them). And if you beat them, watch for that Carthaginian Navy south of Taras: They might break the ceasefire just to attack your weaker navy. Strengthen your fleet with a couple of ships more if you want to invade from the sea.

Get Krete, pacify the region, move to Rhodos. Looks like the KH have a pretty big stack there, so you are going to take some losses.

Be sure to have trading rights with Epirote, Makedonians and the Seleukids. Sea trade from those islands is a nice and steady income.

Then if the KH are still a "living" faction and haven't been conquered by the Makedonians, invade them, while at the same time start moving another army out from Northern Italy and conquering Illyria. If you play your cards correctly, you'll be able to envelop the Epirotes from north and south. If you can't, then choose who to fight: The Makedonians from the south or the Epirotes from the north. The KH might not have been destroyed because some city in Spain, Asia Minor or Crimea might have rebelled to them, but that shouldn't be a problem; ask for ceasefire and trading rights and finish them off later in game.

where should you invade Greece
sorry, was bothering me!

carry on with the strategy, gentlemen

[Cute Wolf]

with this army?


simple, just ask Jirisys, where he want to go...

PS: I'm suggesting that he should go assault Sparta head on, and start taking KH so in worst case, at least you got a very defendable choke position in peninsulla

I think you're better to turtle up and wait till polybian reforms kick in

I once died on the land route from Segestica to Epeiros, so no.

I don't really like the sea, so Krete can wait.

Let's go to Ambrakia by the Adriatic (departing from Taras) and enslave it
