The Amazing Epeirote Debt Machine, or: "Help?"

Hmmm, some logical reasoning. I agree.

Good luck with Korinthos. And I would sally out and die fighting as opposed to just waiting to be starved out in Taras. Just a thought, but if you're gonna lose them anyways, you might as well take some Romans with you.

There are no words.... Instead of doing some of my great mound of homework (one of the seven wonders of the modern world), I did...

A heroic victory. The complete destruction of my elephants after countless kills. Utter chaos. The capture of Corinth.

A crash-to-desktop.

Cheers.

Not that I know of. Hypaspistai are limited to Makedon and AS, while Pheraspidai are limited to those plus Baktria.
You can check it out yourself in the documentation inside your EB folder; there is a subfolder with unit cards.

But the EB site shows different :https://www.europabarbarorum.com/fac...ros_units.html
So what shows real information about units? I'm a bit confused now

Oblivious to posts other than the first, and to EB 1.0, I account my knowledge of Epeiros in 8.1.

You must take Pella immediately by combing Phyrrus and Ptolemaios, and after doing this, disband your elephants.
Phyrrus and Ptolemaios should stay in Pella with a garrison of about 3 troops.
Disband all but the very bare necessities of your other settlement garrisons.
Then, take Ptolemaios and the remainder of the troops from Pella, and sack Demetrias.
Retreat to Pella.
I then took in succession, using slingers and Hoplitai:
Serdike
Dalminion
Tylis
Byzantion
Demetrias

When I took Demetrias, I did so with a great force, which was then left to create a substantial fort to protect me from the wars of the Koinon Hellenon and Makedonia.
I now had three mining settlements, two large armies, and still an income of five-thousand each turn.

I found Epeiros very inclined to victory from the beginning of my campaign.

In 8.1 my most favoured troops were my "Hapless Hoplitai".

Or Haploi Hoplitai.

Oh, I am sorry I forgot Taras!

I built a stone wall immediately, and recruited many slingers and archers, and in this way kept Romans from even touching the foot of my walls by the number of missiles.
I never needed to transfer any troops.
However, what I did, which in turn destroyed Rome, was plunder Taras, leaving it a shell inside a stone wall, and sell it to the Arverni.
After the Arverni had a large garrison, the town revolted back to me.
So, with my great force of rebels, I left Taras again to the Arverni (Who were quite confused!), sacked Arpi, and gave another settlement to the Gauls.
Thus there was a large migration of Celts in southern Italy, Rome's growth was stunted, and I had no more trans-adriatic warfare to distract me.
