i think that macedon is pretty easy

i just combine my armys and blitz KH and epirus, i usually can get athens sparta, epirus, and illirya_hellenike, with the starting forces. by then I'm usually out of the red if I disbanded the fleet


romans coming in a close second, only because they are easy but the way i play I don't blitz with them. now with macedon it's a race to egypt so i play a little differently :)
