Mini AAR : The heroic sacrifice of the Black Sea Greeks

[Numahr]

Sounded like a good campiagn.Should have kept going.And its amazing how powerful the lower level troops can be (I should know.In BI I used a persian army heavy on levy spearmen and beat the Eastern Roman Empire).

Yeah I really like these cheap Greek militia, really worth their low cost! I was impressed by their ability to hold their lines during all the battle against the Seleucid heavier spearmen. And their simple clothes give them a special appeal... something "Spartan" somehow... come on, look at the screenshot with the volcano in the background, aren't they heroes, resisting this wall of pikes with no hope of victory?


Now they really cannot win a battle on their own, you really need to use them with the appropriate support. But I seriously consider recuiting them in mass as the bulk of my early Pontic army... It may just be expansive in human terms if 2+ units get heroically wiped out at each battle...
