I have made some successes with a simple change in the descr_strat.txt:

I had placed the Makedonian main army between Pyrrhos and Pella. What does it do?

When both are played by the AI the Maks will have their turn first; Antigonos drafts the garrison from Pella to his army and attacks the Epeirote army. That battle was in all, save for one, tests won by Makedonia. Now the Epeirote army retreats to the mountains and is not strong enough to make a new attack to soon (they will do, but until then the Makedonians have enough time to reinforce their position in Pella).

The AI also withdraws the army next to Korinth and place it in Demtrias. That is quite a clever move because as long as it can not take Athens in short it will not be able to reinforce the troops on the Peleponnes; any forces down there are doomed as soon as Greece starts moving.

So, Makedonia loses Korinth but ends up with a much stronger position in Demetrias and Pella.

Here is an example of MiniMe's campaing around 200BC played with this alteration:




In my games too Makedonia is in most of the cases able to hold her position in Pella this way, especially when they start to retrain the forces.
