Well the latter won't happen to me (AS): the KH has tried to land on Lesbos twice and take it from the Maks only to get beaten horribly. Now their army is refitting on the shores of my Ionia - yeah right: they've recruited the entire Merc population available into their service. So I decided to send that one army with Argyraspides and Kataphraktoi back to Sardis to stare them away again.

(The army was previously sent to deal with the last bits of Epeiros, but if I'm economical on my garrisons I can (easily) manage to hold the territories I have and conquer the rest of Epeiros at the same time.
