So I decided to leave my Gaulish hero riding off into the sunset (or sunrise) for a few days and chose: Scythia (Those guys in Orange).

Defeated Thrace quite easily and went after Macedon.

Take Bylazora and find there is a temple to Artemis (which gives +2 missile).

Now anyone who has played Scythia knows that the whole campaign is pretty well built around missile troops (maybe some 'standard' cavalry to hack of the Romans, but that is a few turns ahead) - so what could be better than +2 missile?

Take Larissa - another temple to Artemis - now my cup is running over.

Take Thessalonica - a LARGE temple to Artemis - giving +3 missile.

Now obviously that doesn't make the range attack QUITE as good as Foresters in Gaul - but you can make them in 1 turn and have the same range.

So the question is: Has the programme been helping me, is this the standard Macedonian temples or is this coincidence?
