Aenos,

I'm enjoying your AAR a lot too. I wasn't trying to step on your toes. From my perspective The Casse, Saban, Lusitan and Getai are the best factions to role-play with because they start with one territory. But of those four Getai feel the closest to finished. They also have an interesting starting position with the potential for war with a lot of factions.

I intend to role-play with them and not try to conquer the whole world. Make realistic decisions that an enlightened kingdom would make. My premise is that the Getai nobles have been semi-hellenized. I made peace with Macedon so I'm going to introduce a plot line where by one of the royal sons is raised as a hostage in the Macedon court and thereby becomes obsessed with modernizing Thrace.

Your right, there are a couple ways to go with them in the beginning. They start out with some nice units that you don't have access to if you disband them. But you have to go into serious dept to keep them. i sent them home because I thought it was more realistic. I'm about to gather the tribes again though!
