I started a new campaign last night. Its going better than usual.

I've taken Kophen, Takashila (sp) and the province south of that.

Pahlava has left me alone though AS has seiged Baktra twice unsuccessfully losing FMs each time hehe. It seems that the AI will ceasefire with you until you start taking their settlements, so each time AS seiges me and loses I get trade rights back.

Im building another army to take the southern most Indus province then I will start to make inroads into AS.

Thanks for the reply
