The Future of the Republic!

[Julian the apostate]

I'd say take up to the rivers from the Makies. Finish of the Spanish and the beat the hell out of the Ptolies. oh also take massilla i think its a pretty useful city because of the rivers and mercs

I'd say hit the Ptolies from both sides Africa and Galatia... Bactria should help u with them and also Armenia holds them away from good horse archer armies so if you have a few spare ships i would advise dumping them off in the crimea and taking the 2 cities... they are good recruiting grounds for mercs and foreign troops... The crimea is more of a secondary goal though that would help you against egyptian troop types

plus you will have a solid border with the pyrennes, then Alps and rivers at Massila as well as the rivers in northern thrace

(snagging the province in brittany then gifting it to the british may give the guals hell as well even though it'd be tricky 2 do
