I know exactly what you mean Lord Gruffles. EB is so awesome, you just feel like you can't contain all the fun within yourself and you want write it out and yeah, basically whatever you mentioned.

I'm in the process of putting together a little piece myself but it's been a few days and it hasn't gotten off the ground as I had hoped. Too much planning, not enough action. Hope I can get it started soon...

Anyhoo, keep at it with this one, I likes me some Epirotes and would like to see more.

Like your AAR! Not as heavy to read as many of the other AARs.

I couldnt help but notice you hardly use any cav at all. I love cav, especially light/medium cav. Cant get enough of them!

I've been so strapped for cash that cav was just not a viable option. I have my current infrastructure in pretty good shape now so I have started recruiting some cav units finally.

Until now, my generals had to earn their pay!

The Seleukia – Molossian Wars

So the war begins. Negotiations between the eastern remnants of Alexadros’ empire and those of his Hellenic origins have failed. The Mollos wanted nothing but peaceful coexistence in order to focus on their arch-nemesis the Mytilene Empire. But the Seleukids could not stand another power house in the mediteranian and have once again attacked Krete. This time, Eumedes was able to reach the shores of the besieged island and thwart all attempts by the AS to subdue it. Molossia’s most esteemed seadog, Admiral Nikarchos assured any attempt at escape was cut off and the Seleukids have paid dearly. In addition to their western fleet, the Seleukids have lost a great general in Kendebaios Margianikos. Perhaps these developments will send a message to the Seleukids and anyone else who would question the rights and territory of the great Molossian Emperor, Ptolomaios.

A - Eumedes' rescue of Krete
B - Phyrrichos' rescue of Byzantion
C - Helenos' final defeat of the Carthaginians in Sicilia

The Consolidation of Sicilia

30 days of games and celebration have been ordered throughout the Molossian Empire in commeration of Helenos Aikaides' triumphant conquest of Sicilia.

There is still much work to be done and preparations to be made for our futher expansion into Corsica and Sardinia. We did not ask for war against the Carthaginians. But we must secure safe trade routes west of Italia and with their aggression in Silicia against our forces, war seems to be the only answer.

Who are the Mytelenes?

**Lord Gruffles** · 03-24-2007, 19:52

Mytinlene is the Capital of the once mighty Makedonians. It's on that small island off the west coast of Asia Minor that they start the game with. After I booted them out of Pella they made that their Capital. It makes no sense for me to call them the Maks anymore. ;)

EDIT - They beat back the AS to establish a strong position in Asia Minor. Subsequently, they and the AS have arranged a ceasefire and are both focusing on the Molossian Empire.
