I just thought of another strategy, tell me what yall think: i either migrate all my troops to italy and forget abot greece, destroy ambrakia and epidamnos for the imediate money and go for italy. Or alternatively i destroy and migrate from taras and forget italy.

I'd go for the second option as it means you won't run into the romans for ages and so can focus on the maks (also you recruitment options are better in greece).
Get an alliance with the KH and it should be easy enough to destroy the maks and then the greeks if you feel so inclined. Also i tend to disband the elephants and and ships at the start as they are very expensive and the money could be better spent elsewhere.
