First Impressions of EB 1.0?

[Sakkura]

I finally got EB1.0 running too!

First impression: I started up a campaign as Pahlava, who I have never tried before. I just had to see the intro video, which is pretty neat stuff. Would be great if every faction eventually got one.
Their starting position is nasty by the way. I didn't expect to get bushwacked by a big stack of Eleutheroi horse archers that wiped the floor with an army of like 90% of my forces.

Next I think I'll go check out KH, to see what all this agoge and stuff is about. Man, there's so much cool new stuff to explore!

Just to see the intro I went for Pahlava. Then I changed my mind soon as the game loaded and moved to Casse. Casse is alot harder now. Ill eventually have to work out diffrent tactic. Those rebel army are quite tough and my Casse general seems even weeker then before.

I then tried Makedon after getting pwned in my Casse campeign. 2 turns after I captured Athens I got PLAGUED. Athens had one uber Thracian/Hellenic family member in it. 17 year old and his already the best administrater in my family getting plagued.. I hope he doesnt die on me.

So far I've had two very well balanced Macedonian armies give me some serious grief as KH, has something been done to help with army composition?
Similarly they kept formation right up to contact causing more grief, again is this new intentional work or just luck?

Had some custom battles testing out the much awaited romphaiophori & I'm so planning a Getai campaign soon
