Defensive Game?

[econ21]

I would recommend Seleucia - lot of land, lot of aggressive neighbours and a nice long tech tree to work up.

For more of a challenge, trying to survive as Carthage or Gaul without taking the fight to the Romans might be interesting.

I think Greece or Macedonia are great for your needs. But then again, I'm just a monkey on smack.

I'm going to TRY that Carthage idea. I might have to take over Sicily though.

Greece, evryone will want a piece of you heh..same scenario with Gaul evryone will attack you. Your goal should be not to lose a singel province and if you do you should.. get it back with in atleast 5 days or you lose heh, i think i´ll try it aswell havent played much lately

... and the "Search" button is at the very top right-hand corner of your screen. It's run by Google - select the "Forums" option if you just want to search through past posts, and voilà!

Greece and Carthage haven't exactly got their territories connected, so Seleucia sounds like a likely candidate. Both of the former will give you a huge challenge if played strictly defensively, though.

Selecuia is pretty strung out. You could play Egypt, but you'd be in a rather easy situation.

I'd probably recommend someone like Thrace. Most of the neighbours aren't too aggressive at the beginning, so if you take Byzantium, you'll have a nice little section of land.

that's the reason why you should pick them. it is hard to run an defensive network with an country that's barely connected.
