yeh, thats why i took out rome, i figured they were going hurt me later, i have now taken over greece, and wiped out rome/greek's, and the makadionians have only two islands left.
im going to consolidate, retrain my army that took out both italy and greece, and hopefully before my leader (phyrus) dies take the islands around greece and finish of the italian peninsuala and sicily that are rebels.

Well I wasn't beaten or anything. I could have beaten the romans. By just raiding one of their bigger cities when undefendent and then when they've been weakened enough take over their most important cities. But I just didn't feel like it anymore. I played M/M that I do admit.

I tried a new tactic lately. I shipped practically all my forces over to Italy, leaving only a couple of family members in Epirus and Illyria. I saw some big Macedonian stacks moving into Epirus from the East, so I demolished everything in Ambracia and Epidamnus and moved my whole faction to Italy. Then I used the money gained to train some Samnites in Tarentum. I was expecting the Macedonians to just walk into Ambracia and Epidamnus, but when they saw that I had gone, they just walked off and went back to Macedonia! An interesting experiment, I think.

haha! thats what happened to me, i demolished a load of buildings expecting it to be taken, they walked off, i was convinced they were going to take it soon so i left it, after 20 years i built it up again.feeling a bit of a ass

@toxicseagull and Zenith Darksea,
No need for abandoning your provinces in Greece, just keep one garrison unit there. Of all the times I´ve played the E´s only once has the M´s come over to the east side. They are more likely to focus on KH and take Thermon. By the time my initial coquering of the south Italian and Sicilian rebels you can afford two zones of conflict.
