    Default Re: Pontos: Utterly Ridiculous. Advice?

    i always take sinope and ancyra on the first and second/third turns respectively. i ignore mazaka until the As decides to inform that we are now neutral instead of allies, which i take as carte blanche to slaughter their poorly defended towns (ipsos, mazaka are usually very badly garrisoned). it hasnt failed me yet, AS always gets wary and backs off for a little while if i take galatia so quickly.after allying with the ptolemies and breaking alliance with the AS league, AS then gets into a losing war with me after i storm two out of there 3 settlements, i take the 3rd then they are forced to accept a ceasefire. then i try to get on good terms with the AS and declare war against the stupid egyptians and their 2 settlements.

    also slow your progress and give some of the reb towns in the rich areas to the west some time to build mines for you....it will kick you off fast. in one game, byzantion had already built mines for me, and in another game, pergamon already had a mining center (!) and one of those expensive dock upgrades already done (!!!!). you can imagine how pleasant of a surprise that was.

    Use galatian reserves extensively once you can get down a type 4 government + regional level 1 mic in ancyra, they are surprisingly effective with 2 bronze chevrons against the inferior eastern/imitation greek type troops that occupy asia minor.
