Impressive!

Does the game automatically kill Pyrrhus when he assaults a city? Why else does it tell you to stay away from Argos?

Hmm... is Saudi Arabia inaccesible?

Saudi Arabia is part of the Sahara province, better known as the unconquerable provinces. These are not be conquered because they were not much things of importance. Pre 1.0 Dumatha was still there but it already had a structure called Sand, limiting trade. 1.0 and after it was not to be conquered anymore.

Historically they say Pyrrhos died by a rooftile thrown at his head. It was at a hellenic polis, so I suppose that would be Argos.

That is a mystery harder than the Eleusinian Mysteries

Ok, quick question, Fluvius Camillus - how hard is it keeping those provinces at the outer reaches of your empire in check? -M

Not really hard, in the east put in all your bordering cities 10x Persian archers (or an equilavent), If the enemy besieges, just sally forth and shoot all your arrows at them, repeat this until theyre all dead every turn or finally kill them in the assault.

The only leak was the Hayasdan, I was a fool to trust them as they randomly attacked my cities, after an expensive war where I bougth all local mercenaries they died. With my recent Romani campaign I did not make the same mistake, I gathered 3 armies to wipe them off the face of the earth completely, that resistance was even more sad than the Britons when I invaded them!

Rebel provincies dont attack, so thats easy

Also the rebel fullstack cities in central Europa provide a nice barrier.

All other provinces have a natural border or a fullstack royal army.

I only lost Gava-Yugra to the Baktrians, when I conquered that city the Baktrians declared war right away and my depleted Hayasdan army could not win.

In that battle I killed 3 family members with a general and two groups of horse archers. I was surprised I could inflict that much damage. But sadly there was no winning as the main body still stood firm, my beloved general was trapped and killed (well he was my least favourite conquering family member so it wasnt that worse) Anyway I hope this answers your question!

what difficulty lever do you play on?

Your quite right Most storyline part is the sons of Pyrrichos. Was not really intended as an AAR though, I just wanted to show my slideshow like campaign
