Super Getai

[Aurgelmir]

Lol i started a getai campaign yesterday,and now i can make a cheap terminater army

And drewsky...i use your EDU...so compared to other players,its even easyer for us,because in our games all spear units have -4attack(its much more fun and realistic now)
That makes our Braddock(chuck norris) units even more dangerous

The Thraikioi Rhomphaiaphoroi, I call "Rambos" for short, cos that's how they act in battle.

I'm quite in awe of the general balance of EB still though...as Getai, you get some nice troops, but you just can't afford them. Even with Rhodes, Hali, Byz, Sardis and Perg (plus 8 other including Ank) all managed by home FM, Im still only making 4k a turn, and really need to raise at least 2 more full stacks...The AS keep wandering into my Anatolian Lands, and my spies have seen 3 full stacks on the way :eek:

Let's just hope Epiros continue to be occupied with their KH war, or then I have a potential front of about 7 cities, which is far too long..

I know...
They dont get much of an income...but like a true barbarian,raid there city's.
Make 1 stack and start raiding pella rome korinth,ship them to egypt....do the same with the rich city's over there.
That's how i can afford to build my buildings lol
All other money i need for troops,to keep the others at bay....
Want to slowplay this,but with the getai hmmm doesn't work that well

Can you let me know your getai progress?

Sure will do :)

When I left it late last night, it was as my previous post. I'm trying to enforce a house rule, that I'm absolutely not allowed to attack my allies, which rules out Pontus, Epiros, Rome. Epiros have Northern Greece, KH have Southern Greece. Macedon have only Chalkis left (and will most likely be taken by KH soon). I have a full stack on the way to take the Polish province (with nice mines) guarded by 2 stacks.

Its the AS that worry me.....

lol...when i would do such a houserule,then i would send a diplomat and end my alliance...then raid there city's

Update for Aurgelmir:-

Threw everyone in the East into Sardis, had a one turn war vs the AS !(they appeared after I defeated their first stack and offered a treaty which I grabbed quickly ;)) I think they are too busy elsewhere, with Pontus and others, they seem to all have gone now...

In the West, KH took Pella, then foolishly started to bombard me with spies...I took and sacked Pella, raiding the Macedonian tombs in a fashion proper of true barbarians ;) Loads of money...



The Polish mining trip had to be postponed, as suddenly two stacks of EIGHT brigands appeared by my Northern cities which had to be dealt with (and very decent brigands, a lot of semi elites!)...the army needs to make the long trek back south to replenish..

Overall, a good few years :)

Man all this talk of the Getai makes me want to start a new campaign with them. My last one ended with me fighting for Antioch in the East and holding the Romans at a bridge near Patavium in the West. Those damned super Epeutheori stacks in Bohemia butchered 2 or 3 of my full stacks before I just declared victory and moved on to a different campaign.

Edit: Here's my empire just for the heck of it, 232BC I believe


I'm a bit surprised to hear people downing on the Dacian Heavy Pikes. They formed the center of my battle line as soon as I could get them and I don't think I ever had them break. Also, their secondary weapon and heavy armor makes them pretty damn good assault troops in my experience.
