I see that the matter about the huge amounts of Persian armies, interests many of you, so, I wish to put here some suggestions, useful to win the Persian Empire :
1) try to make more alliances as well as possible with the Greek factions, in order to not make the war each other ;
2) in order to create a big army, before invade the Persian regions, conquer as many rebel regions as possible, that, quite often, are created by internal faction rebellions ;
3) create merchant ships, for improving your incomes, and war ships to take controls of the Asian coasts, because if the Persian armies manage to land in Europe, the game is over
4) create many emissaries, for bribing the Persian armies little loyal : when they will pass from your part, a battle will start;
be careful : accept the fighting but don't fight
when the battlefield is on, and you start the battle, select all your troops (CTRL+A) and order the withdrawn (CTRL+W) ;
in the end, the game will ask if you want to pay a bill in order to ransom your troops : PAY
It doesn't matter that you spend a lot of money (but don't overdo to spend the money of course ) but you will detract troops from the Persians and will make growing your armies, and the Persians, without over seas trade, cannot last for much time
Of course, it takes many turns : in the while, you have to grow the morale, the weapon and the shield of your troops, besides, you have to conquer some asian region in order to dectract creating troops centres, etc... but I didn't manage to discover another solution to beat a terrifying army like the Persian army.
See you
El Cid.
