I understand CBs don't work, what about historical battles, do they work?
And you should play H/M, also don't base your assumptions of the first years as Epeiros the first turns are full of hard fought battles. but once you get Greece you start rolling in dough.. and that's without destroying Rome (which you did). So holding down 2 fronts (Italy and Greece) and winning is already over-achieving IMO...
I played an Epeiros campaign started out by letting Taras rebel and conquered Greece (some very hard battles the first few years). After that I got to making so much money that I felt it was too easy.
I'm thinking about giving Alex a try when I decide to start a campaign and play.
