I Hate Macedonia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dorkus]

not either or.

in my very hard very hard game, I took apollonia (which has dismal defenses, and really only requires a general and one unit of infantry), syracuse, corinth, and sparta (in that order) in the first few rounds. just keep pumping out hastati and cav, sell map info, ceasefires (right before you attack again) with your diplomats, and concentrate your forces.

I think I also had carthage by turn 7 or so.

DESTROY the Macedonians. Don't destroy or enslave the cities, but destroy the army. There is no peace between the Brutii and the Macedonians. Get that notion right out of your head.

I'm inordinately proud to be the author of the very first strategy guide posted in the RTW Guide section: The "Brutii Blitz."

The guide gives step-by-step instructions on how to destroy those "brass helmet wearing b@$*@#!!" There's a specific reference to building a fort to block that back-door northern pass to Apollonia while blitzing the rest of Greece.
