ha ha ha funny. Now my only problem with the takeing some sythiean citys thing is that the Brutii own that are of land and the black sea. But perhaps I could Pursuade the remaining Pontian armies to help with the war...

Play on the defence, build an econemy and lots of military units. Let them attack. Kill them. Then capture the surrounding territories. Don't captrue Brutiis greek or Italian territories though, that would be bad. Really Bad.

BTW Nice Flag. Looks really really cool (though I am a raging right wing capitalist I still admit that)

Yea, just keep where your at. You being the human player should out do the AI in the long run. Just defend your cities efficiently, while building massive armies.

Once you've got an over-produced military of tens of thousands, gather your full strengh, and burst, spread in each direction, and capture two or three cities in every direction, hold, re-build, defend, make new army, and do the same.

What I've had to do vs. Bruti. I just defended, built strength, and then burst suddenly, and wipped Bruti out! It works bro, just takes an hour or two of building, mabye less.

well I can't really defend because my only armies good enuf to defend a city are off in Greec atempting to cut the Brutii line of retreet. As of now (thank God) the Selucids have backed away thanks to the remaining parthiean troops takeing there capitol. Egypt still has a pike shuved up my ass though so heres what I've got. 2 generals, 10 Katofract archers, 25 Heavy spearmen, 40 hillmen (fresh troops like hot cakes out of the oven) 19 archers, 15 Katofracts, and finaly 3 gropes of merceneray Elephants (gifts from the Numidians).

Dose that look good for a defence?

O and Comrade Capo of Arabia, I'm not comunist just 25% Russian and really like Soviet history. I am also a Republician.

I'm 1/4 German, not a N--i, but I do like my German history, also like, 1/5 Scottish, some Dutch, Welch, British, etc etc.

Yea, just hold where your at, building defense militaries. You'd be suprised what a few men can do when the call comes for defense, or, what they cant do if they get scared.

I defended Syracuse, my once largest city, with 6 battered to about 50% each units of Milita Hoplites, vs. 2,000+ Scippi romans, fully armoured, seige weapons, and skills when defending, loseing 3/4 my army, but killing over 1,800 of theirs!
