Cheating!

Heh there is a landbridge between Lesbos and the mainland, so don't count them out. Also all true islands have at least 1 city that can build up to a level 1 or 2 military port.

Yeah, one time I saw Makedon go to just Lesbos and counted them as dead. I looked later and they had taken Pergamum and build Lesbos into a big city.

Ooer! Thanks for the warnings guys. I'll have to keep an eye on them then.

Both Pontus and the Selucids are very busy with each other around that area at the moment so, hopefully, that will distract Macedon long enough for me to consolidate on the mainland to the west.

It looks like my new Faction Leader is going to have to earn his spurs the hard way.

I've seen the Makedonians isolated to Lesbos, then regain enough strength to reconquer Greece and western Asia Minor, exterminating the KH. I dunno what it is about them... I guess they like giving the KH a head start.
