In my current campaign I am Macedon and I have halted all conqest to the West and North of Macedon, but I've headed to Asia Minor to take settlements there. I've taken all settlemens except the Pontus capital with a good amount of men, which are excelent troop types. I'm laying siege with a couple of armies and when they sally I retreat and re-besiege, to kill all their units. Anyway, In order to stop Thrace and Illyria (Who have declared war on me), I have full stacks on bridges they have to cross to get to my settlements. Needless to say, it's usually a slaughter.
