Playing as the greeks, i sent in what some people call a 'discovery channel team', which was a band of veteran soldiers whose units were too small, some scythian HA mercs, and a general who had nothing to do. The first encounter with the amazons was very difficult, as they kept zooming everywhere, running away from my HA's and going way too fast for my foot soldiers. But i took there city quite well. Only problem was, they slaughtered my horses, and killed the general.
