Some things I noticed

[LCCinna]

@ships:i don't think they are important. i just built a few transport ships to send troops to africa and britain and that's it.
@triumph:i guess I wouldn't get heroic vics if i would have an advantage

Something important I forgot to mention:

The Seleucide town is called HekaTompylos....not HekaRompylos!

[VandalCarthage]

The Seleucide town is called HekaTompylos....not HekaRompylos!

Hah Just checked that out, and I'm amazed that slipped by us! I'll mark it down somewhere

Getting rid of the pirate fleets requires some serious money on VH (campaign) it costs about 6000 mnai to take out 6 pirate (2 silver) men out of a fleet of 180. I don't wait to build bigger fleet since the upkeep is horrible, just send 2-3 ships at a time as soon as I build them. They sink my ships but their numbers dwindle...I get most bang for the buck from covered liburnes...

It wasn't a misspelling as a mistake we made in inputting it, but it may be the case that the 't' is correct though. Strabo and Ptolemy call it Hekarompylos instead of Hekatompylos according to the reference I see in the Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography by William Smith (Hekarompylos, Strab. xi. p. 514; Ptol. i. 12. § 5, viii. 21. § 16) - on perseus.tufts.edu.

It seemed to us to be the more authentic spelling by this reference, but I'm betting now that that is a misread by the OCR software or something. I've pulled the books on the Barrington Atlas, and they just give the one spelling with the 't'. Be patient with us though - changing a town name is a real pain since scripts rely on visible town names often.
