in other news ive officially closed the gap. Still holding in the middle and the west but ive done a pincer to break the stalemate in the east.

Ive also peed in Rome's cheerios. ;) And Athens declared on me ...... and as you can see that got them reaaallly far.

Did Athens really declare on you or they just converted an agent of yours and declared war that way by default?

In mid-to-late games, that latter is how the AI typically declares war on me. They want peace on the same turn.

They legitimately declared on me. I believe they brought tylis in with them because suddenly I was at was with them too but im unsure. It was a terrible play for them no matter what because I had an army camped 1 province away most of the game waiting on them to make that mistake. Now they are only on Rhodos and I just haven't gotten the urge to go finally kill them

It really depends. Sometimes, I get many; sometimes, just my allowance. I think, the max I got was around 50 but that was many patches ago. It seems, AI factions have different budgets for agents. So, it all depends on who I am facing.

Lately, I've started just to assassinate/wound the AI agents instead of converting. They tend to have odd stat/skill distributions (no specialization) for my liking.

I do hide my armies in ambush stance wherever I go (near or in hostile territories). This seems to minimize the AI agent spam. I guess, if the AI does not see your force (and the agent embedded in it) on the start of their turn, they tend to send their agents somewhere else.

Every agent of my enemies has an option.... convert or die...... if you don't convert on the first try..... you die end of story

Seriously, it never occured to me that you could convert enemy Agents to get over the Emperium cap

Had assumed they would just die rather than convert if you're already at limit. (and really this is what should probably happen)

I have taken to using it in my Syracuse (Hieronymus at the Gates!) campaign.
It really helped out with breaking the strength of the Lusitanians who were in full control of Iberia and is now helping gain momentum as I invade Italy for the finale against Rome.
