just started a Pontus campaign to get the feel for it. It's great.

Really nice drawing out tactics without the sickening horse-archeriness of Armenia. Cheap, useless infantry mixed with decent ones, nice mercs and great rushing opportunities (by 265, I have Mytilene under siege, both rebel towns near me were taken in 269, and that Seleucid place closest to me has just been captured by 2 peltasts, 1 hillmen and a general.
