Pretty standard Greek faction.

The falxmen are pretty nice; if you can get anything pinned to your phalanx they are even better

Macedonia comes after you early and their cavalry is annoying; I lured a huge stack of mainly lancers into a bridge battle_that was the end of the cavalry and the end of my problems

Scythia doesn't put up much of a fight; odd when you think of how good HA's can be in this game-there seems to be a steady supply of HA merc's on the steppes.

If you play a long campaign go after Brutii sooner rather than later. If you've taken out the Macedonians and Greeks there isn't anything else for them but YOU Given time, their army will be huge when it arrives. When playing as Greece I went for Brutii almost immediately_do the same as Thrace and mid-game will be much easier.

Very nice infantry line-up and seems to have all the tools.
