They got nuked(not sure how is that changed and when), KH starts in better economical and specially population situation. Pella and Demetrias have less population together then Athenai alone, plus Maks make 5000-10000 mnai less then KH or Epiros at start.Not to mention Rhodos being 12k population city.Same goes for Epeiros.
And Maks AI is completely uncapable to bring reinforcements from Mytilene most of the times. They usually end up having stack there standing and wasting their upkeep money.And they can't make better quality units in Corinth, which they never manage to keep for long anyways.

Resulting in Maks cannot replace losses , while KH and Epiros are multiplying like rabbits..

**** EDIT: thats why i was saying on other thread that Maks are not that much of ease anymore. Sure they are easier then most of the factions , but you do have tougher time in Greece in beggining then before. In Greece at present EB version , easiest to play is KH now..oh well , it's same to me..

yeah I think their problem is population and the isolation of Myteline in non BI EB (although they do sometimes use it to capture Pergamon). But as the Maks I have often had a popultion problem, and this campaign is on huge so...

This impresion is hightend by the fact that in the ocassion's when they take Greece quickly, they often suddenly exploded (possibly due to acces to Athenai's large population).

I'll try giving them a population bost, and see if that shakes them up a bit. Are there any internal plans to try and increase Makedonia's power in future builds?

Yeah they do explode,same happens if Epeiros wins in Greece .But now , as it is Maks lose 10 out of 10 times anyways , hehe.Whoever wins in Greece, has empty space full of mines all the way to Baltics , with only uninvolved and lethargic Getai around.Thats alot of mines and provinces.

Hehe, inactive Getai?






Edit, and only 251 as well, still 6 years till the polybians.

God , I love that!


To bad they do it only rarely in my campaigns Disregarding of which scripts i am runing .


Btw , i think your rebels need some money help there , hehe

I have juggled with money in game, completly crippling the selukid economy (although they refuse to colapse) and giving Pontus, Saba, Hai, Sauro, Saka, Baktria, Pahalava and slave lots of money. A few turns ago I just typed in add_money, slave, and then sat there for five minutes pressing up, enter, up, enter but and I think in the end they got something in the nature of 10 milions, but would it make any difference? No.


And I give the Ptolemaioi lots of money, but they still wont send much at me, although they seem to be getting into the habit of sending the following stack at me: 2-3 machiomoi phalangitai, 1-2 pezhetairoi, 1-2 klerouchoi Agema, I-2 machiomoi hippeis and 2-3 galatikoi klerouchkoi. They've given me that twice in a row now, I nearly fainted with supprise and delight when they first sent it at me.
