Ahliea what difficulty is that?

And that was the problem I tried to avoid. I figure if I just kept on conquering I'll loose lots of money every turn and be unable to recruit or hire mercenaries or retrain, so by the time I reach Parthia or the Seleucids, there would be so little troops left that they will wipe me out.
So I disbanded and built up.

But I see you doing pretty good. Hope you can aviod being wiped out.

And again what difficulty?
