Hello there,
first let me thank all of you who posted in my previous question-thread. Again I'm curious how you players of EB take decisions. Here it goes:
"What are the 'rational' reasons/motives behind your choice of faction?"
E.g.: I like to play with Epiros because they have a relativly strong starting position.
- Pyrrhus and his army can conquer both Makedonia and Thessaloniki in turn one, thanks to the Elephantes Indikoi.
- After disbanding both the Elephantes and the Petekoterei (spelling ?), the budget is balanced. Both Pella and Dalminion have most valuable mines and more mines are in the vincinity. All modern-day Greece/Albania provinces have/can have ports, thus allowing the profitable sea trade.
- Makedonia and KH are at war with each other, giving Epiros some time to consolidate and to prepare for the complete conquest of Hellas.
- Taras can either be defended by building stone walls, by recruiting Archer/Slingers and by replacing the Hoplites units with Levy Phalanxes. Alternativly it can be abandoned by dispanding all the units and by destroying all the buildings, the later giving a lot of mnai to the budget.
- The gov-buildings provide nice boni with acceptable mali.
Thanks in advance,
Treverer
P.S. if your decision is made up by certain units, do explain why: are they stronger than your neighbours? Do you use them often and how do use them?
