    Default Re: Eastern factions. Help me pick

    @ Palmtree:

    in my ongoing Baktrian campaign (H/M), I'm actually getting my provinces via ... say, a bit nasty way: my armies are relativly small (= garrisons & mobile defence forces) and I rely on my spies to revolt AS cities. Two of them have revolted so far and are now Baktrian. Alright, alright, this isn't the "most heroic" way to expand, but it's funny nevertheless. And it allows me to prepare the conquest of India.

    Yours, T.

    EDIT: on my post above I wrote that Baktria has the most beautiful units. Well, that was incorrect, as it should be: "Baktria has the most beautiful units of all Hellenic/Successor factions". IMHO, the Getai units look wonderful/splendid too. (Haven't seen too many other so-called Barbarian units so far.).

    T.

    Towards the end of the book, the Moties quote an old story from Herodotus:

    "Once there was a thief who was to be executed. As he was taken away he made a bargain with the king: In one year he would teach the king's favorite horse to sing hymns."
    "The other prisoners watched the thief singing to the horse and laughed. 'You will not succeed,' they told him. 'No one can.' To which the thief replied, 'I have a year, and who knows what will happen in that time. The king might die. The horse might die. I might die. And perhaps the horse will learn to sing.'"
