Firstly: Why can I post? Wow...
Secondly: I don't have BI but I'd like to reply to this...
Exactly. People on here are too used to blitz strategies.
...nevertheless.

I always tell myself oh come on, only the greeks, then I go and build up a bit. Maybe re-organize armies a little, yes, yes. All will be fine then. but it never works, because always at the end of a war I get attacked by another faction. It's freaking me out to know that I will never end the war... I mean come on, just a little example:
In a game with macedon i'm in war with the Greeks, the Illyrians (yeah, thats right...RTR!) and I believe two other factions that I could crush overtime. So I tell myself Aww, man...it's their fault, isn't it? I mean THEY attacked while I was punishing the Greeks for messing with me, right? and then I can't stop. It's like never ending...i'm such a poor soul. :/

In my opinion they should simply get rid of all other factions except yours, no more pressure to take cities and no more pressure to end the war...
