Anybody want to play a part in this one? I'm deciding on where to send my latest army. Here are the details so far:
Army composition: One general, four Praetorian Cavalry, three Archer Auxilia, two heavy Onagers, and about seven Praetorian/Urban Cohorts (yes, I use Urbans. You can lynch me). All have very good weapon/armor quality. They're going to be shipped out of Sicily.
Byzantium Front: The plague finally ended, and I'm confident enough to advance the army. They're headed for Tylis under the command of Decimus Scipio, the faction leader. When I last quit the game, they were about to fight a huge battle with the Brutii.
Greek Front: Larissa is currently safe. Brutii still control Athens. There's one more army of significance in the area, with another lurking around Thermon somewhere. I don't know whether to send the main army back to Athens, or have it go west while Corinth builds up a force to take Athens (not heavily garrisoned, but the trick is holding on to it).
Italian Front: After two battles, Rome is mine. In the process of garrisoning it. Some Julii armies are in the area but pose no immediate threat. I'm probably going to move on Arretium soon.
Alpine Front: Julii have lost 4,000 men in two turns trying to take my bridge at Massilia. My guys have a momentary breath before they come under assault again.
Iberian Front: Kind of static. The Julii have Corduba under siege, but I can repulse the eventual assault (this campaign has really made me proficient at siege defense). They have large armies in Iberia, but none near Corduba.
So the question is: Where do I send my new army? I'm thinking either Western Greece/Illyria and work my way to Patavium, or Northern Iberia to relieve both Corduba and Massilia. Another option would be to take Caralis and Palma before hitting Northern Iberia.
The new army will depart after I fight the battle in Tylis. Advice would be appreciated.
