    I remember being Macedon, bored and wondering what a naval superpower would be like, so I built a fleet of about 8 of these buggers just to show off

    Took me a while to realise the cost of their upkeep and that instead of disbanding half my army in italy i should have ditched the boats

    Not enough troops, Romans take Italy, not enough money, cant train troops,
    got raped by the Getai in the end

    Would be a good "house rule" for those who say 'Pontos is much too easy on VH/VH": Every family member needs a personal Nees Magistai-Fleet for parties.

    "Ze First Bartixian Octosquid Submarine Fleet, but as far as I know, they are based somewhere aroung archipelago of Galapagos and are deeply involved in Inca-Mayan MegaCanoeConflict."
    A yes... Ze First Bartixian Octosquid Submarine Fleet ... I believe traces of Charmin found in Inca-Mayan excavation sites can be traced to the octo-peds.

    In my Getai campaign, shortly after taking Crete I discovered the hard way that AS is rich enough to have a unit of Nees Megistai hanging out near Rhodes.

    Getai only get penteconters so my half stack navy got all but obliterated with I think one loss to the Nees Megistai
    maybe those guys should be doing something more useful...

    I think it might be a good idea to give the AI scripted fleets free of cost every once in a while... They never seem to build fleets. Perhaps if they had more laying about the place they might blockade your ports or something. I know the navy AI is absolutely incompetent in every way, shape and form and nothing will ever fix that but it may add something new to the game.

    after great difficulties with Ptolemaioi and AS dreadnaughts in my previous campaigns I tend to desagree with you

    Nice you like THE SHIPS guys.

    I once created UI for ship that will steamroll over them... But rest of the team was not sure about some construction details... They said sth about low probability, lack of accuracy and this kind of stuf. If I'll find it, maybe I'll post it here
