Mine in Pella

[Danest]

I wonder how many EB players are playing the mod because they like to build an infrastructure? I DO like the ability to improve a town, though, but I'd think there had to be some of that going on historically. But I suppose without the city management, all we'd have is a series of battles that could have probably just been imagined in custom battles.

Me too. I love this aspect of the game.

On the other hand I would like to have more "reasonable" starting armies especially for the factions that are at war. In this sense, the Romans are seriously overpowered because they can raise about everything they have in this periode right from the start, while for example KH has to build, and build, and build before they can even show her enemies a simple outdated Iphikratian Phalanx or a good old Hoplite.

There should be NO mine in Pella at the start. No, definately there will not be mine until I have control over it.

Makedonian position is already too strong now. They were on the edge of colapse, If Pyrrhus was more patient he will advance against remains of Antigonid power in Macedonia instead rushing to Sparta and finis them in year or two

Before Pyrrhus death Antigonids controled only SE and E part of Province of Macedonia most probably. Moreover the whole country was in ruins after civil wars and especially Galatian invasion that happened just 6 years before start date. Antigonos was not able to gather macedonian levy guys. He was fighting with forces composed of mercenaries and as many macedonians as he can find (they were just ired of constant wars. They wanted at that point sit calmy in home and try to get something from demolished fields.

as mak king you have to rebuild the Macedonia first. at that point in was greatly depopulated (alexander took some 30000 men, diadochi wars and civil wars took even more. and then the celts came...)

Majority of mines were closed, some are mentiond to be opened by Philip V - 80-90 years deep in game timeframe. the few still working are giving you profit from the trade. And this must be enough before great investments can be put into opening more mines.

Hmm, maybe I should take the 'Pseudo' off of my title.
