Playing The Greek Cities Question on Thermon.

Thanks for all the tips. I'm leaning toward keeping Thermon now though I just dont know if I can. I'm thinking of leaving Syracuse but its a shame to give it up.

I posted this last night but I guess it didnt work...my faction leader died and his heir is guess where? In Syracuse!!! Of all places. so now I'm torn. Break the siege (Scippi have tons of troops and my forces are weakend from carthage attack) and get in my lil boat's and head for Athens or just send me leader out but then Syracuse isleft leaderless OR batttle it out. Just dont know if I'm ready for besigement after besigment by scippi. Now if a 3-way battle was in store HELL YA. I love those and wish to see more. I try n let them fight first then i take the weakend winner.

Easy solution, take everything! Keep Syracuse, fending off the Scipii and Carthaginians until enough troops have been amassed to take Messana, and hold it (archers are the key) then take Lilybaeum. Meenwhile, keep a hold of Thermon (allow sieges to occur, then do multiple sallies to destroy the entire Brutii army with those Cretans. Charge up from Sparta to Corinth, and on to Athens, with a few hoplites. Then take Larissa, Thessalonica etc. etc. etc. Don't forget to invade Italy with the Scipii family members you should be bribing as they land to attempt to take Sicily.
