An aspect of the game made even worse by the fact that there are no recruitable generals available so you have no chance of hiring a band of mercenaries to defend the city, and you've got no chance of either moving an army there in time or recruiting a reasonable garrison before the Ptolies or Selecids attacked...
yep, holding many Arabian and Ethiopian lands with a level 4 is pretty impractical since you can't hire anyone, yet they are often too far to send a fm. the palmyra and other revolting garrisons are only good for destroying whatever is in there for the money and taking the revolting garrison on a killing spree in the region, as there is no way possible to hold on to it without great headache and you sure as heck aint gonna be able to send relief across the arabian desert.
tell me about it, "currently" I'm relying on client rulers imported by ship to keep peace in arabia.

hopefully this will be addressed in EBII. Saba has such great potential as a really really fun faction.
They could address it by adding the Nabatu. Those cities would rebel to them, and unlike the Sab'yn, the Nabatu are right next door.Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

and those are important places. you can get Greeks farther up the Nile, but i guess they didn't want to go down to ethiopia
off topic:
This issue will be addressed in EB1.3
1.2 fixes - Updated regularly. Latest news from 2009-02-01.

So, when will 1.3 be released? Can you give us a date?Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
When it is done.
EB1.3 is a side project with minor significance, all manpower goes into EB2, I'm sure you support this cause of action.
Furthermore there won't be new content, it will just combine the fixes for 1.2 and some other stuff we noticed.
Now please back to topic.

Just misspellings in text files, the mentioned added client ruler recruitment, minor bugs.
I should have had my mouth closed.

i'm sure you guys have compiled a bug list but don't forget the missing torsos of the Syracusans! the missing swords of some generals, the Sabyn pop ups talking about Carthage and feeble romans ummm that's all i can think of right now.
I have two ideas for the "unguessed faction". Tylis, founded after the invasion of Greece by Brennus and currently at the height of its power. Pokr Hayk, Lesser Armenia, never really heard of much but was apparently actve enough to conquer Trapezous. I will be coming up with a very in depth case for Tylis when I get back from vacation.:sun:
So sayeth an unsourced wikipedia claim.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesser_...#Early_history
Wow! That's pretty weak right there. Armenia had been split in two ever since it had been absorbed into the Persian Empire. It was split between the 13th and 18th Satrapies (iirc), but were merged together when the Satrap Yervand I (or II) was granted lordship over Lesser Armenia as well as Greater Armenia. They never held Trapezous (what a load of crap that is) and Lesser Armenia was hardly an independent kingdom for any of our time period.

Yes I did found that kingdom BUT it was conquered by the Thracians within two generations. Tylis was a robber kingdom, a supplier of mercenaries and a thorn in the side of Thrake and Macedon, nothing more. It certainly is not a suitable candidate for a faction, especially when you consider the longevity of its cousin Galatia.
On another note how is work progressing on the Bellovaci/Suessiones, Foot?

You shall die either tommorrow or the day after tommorrow, depending upon how fast I can research.
Also, I retract my withdrawl of Pokr Hayk. The fact that they survived until Rome came knocking has to stand for something. However, I can't be bothered to research further, as I am devoting myself to Tylis.

Hmm… what about the Dardanians? Mixed Thracian, Illyrian, and Celtic culture, a constant thorn in the side of Makedon, and as I recall responsible for the death of several of the Antigonid dynasty's kings.
