    Athens was occupied by a Macedon garrison. But gained it independance in 262BC. Although it still is the intellectuel center in Greece, political it has not much weight anymore. And Athens doesn't take part in the later war (220-217) between Aetolia (Thermon) and Sparta and help from the Romans on one side, against Achaea (Corinth) and Macedonia on the other side.

    You sure on that? Sinope is a power house in the black sea. Of course you have to be buddy buddy with evryone there. I get about 3.5k in trade income there 2500 in taxes and then some greedy corrupt bastard takes away 2k of that.
    When a fox kills your chickens, do you kill the pigs for seeing what happened? No you go out and hunt the fox.

    I'd suggest taking the rest of the peninsula while you're at it. I played the long campaign as the Brutii, and can attest to them rolling in dough once they've the trade income of the Greek cities in their coffers.
    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."
