I just recently gave up my pontus campaign in disgust in roughly 230 BC because of the nonstop ptolemy and seleucid spam (and the unalluring prospect of having to go trek through the desert and totally eliminate the ptolemies, seleucids, and those damn HA factions then to greet me at the end! UGH)
...also, as i kept playing, i realized pontus' unit lineup is totally inconsistent with my tastes.
Ive been trying to read through the unit lists but i just cannot decide with the huge variety of units here (thank you EB for the huge list!) Please help me choose a people to lead to greatness based on the below
1) I love infantry, but i HATE HATE HATE phalanxes. I prefer SUPERIOR line infantry that possess high flexibility, above average strength and decent speed.
2) I dont really care for cavalry, but i do like skirmishing cav that packs at least a average punch with the melee attack. elite javcavs, i guess.
3) I love to micromanage economics and cities - i've actually developed a technique to get the faction's profitability as high as possible as quick as possible. SO economically challenged factions are OK by me
thanks for your help in advance!
