Unmatched Virility of the Macedonians

No. You can't have moved more than half your movement points to be eligible though.

He did it again:


Another general is going to the Olympic Games although he is currently in a town besieged by Sweboz forces. I wonder if the Germans respected the Greek codex of honour not to attack when you're going to the Olympics.

Well, this year we have three Olympic winners from Wintry Dodone! And that's out of five that went. Two of them were a bit...old...as well.

[Musopticon?]

Well, at least Phillios doesn't have to think about how sickly and odious his "beloved" is for the moment.

I mean, bow-chigga-wow-wow.

Also, about the Agrianioi, are they as effective as people give them credit for?

[Ludens]

Heh, yesterday, in my KH campaign, I noticed an unescorted Epeirote FM stop to participate in the Olympics, while he was rebel-held, Roman-invested Venetia. I am not even sure what he was doing there in the first place: presumably he's trying to reach Tarentum from Epidamnos, but the A.I. isn't aware of the enemy (Roman) territories in between.

I am just wondering: shouldn't being in enemy territory prevent generals from taking part in the Olympics?

[Redmeth]

AFAIK they had to be in a city to participate...

Also, about the Agrianioi, are they as effective as people give them credit for?

In all honesty, no. They're pretty brittle for being so 'elite', but I still use them because of their wonderful assault capabilities. I loathe assaulting cities with phalanx troops, due to the retarded-monkey pathfinding, so I generally have three to five units of "assault" troops that will storm the city under cover from the various "Psiloi" units, and then the phalanx only comes in as a last resort.

Also, about the Agrianioi, are they as effective as people give them credit for?

Yes. Basically they slaughter everything, have good stamina as well. Their only weakness is their lack of armour.

Lol, must be very strong...
