That would be very unusual for me.

Taking Kydonia from the Greek Cities. The only ones I've ever taken Kydonia from are Rebels. Of course, I usually tend to take it very early in the game, and make it a priority to build up economically. There seem to be plenty of mercenaries around, and they are often better than ones I can recruit, such as Cretan archers and hoplites.

I had always thought that the AI left Kydonia alone, because if I can land a general there, buy up all the mercenaries, and take the town, it's pretty much mine and left alone the whole game.

Maybe I've just been lucky to date. Next time I go there, I'll probably have to fight a combined Greek, Selucid, Macedonian alliance for it.
