Need some advice about parralel campaign

**Cute Wolf** · 06-24-2009, 13:58

Here's a pic on my campaign as Bosophorans...

As u can see, I also own Hellas, and this was because of this men...

As his name was obviously... a real Makedonian Basileus (It's obvious, Maion... from Krete...

), I cancel my plan to abandon Hellas, and now allready took pella and made it my capital.... It was a "Makedonian Regicide" campaign... He appears at 268, to marry my 13 y old daughter....

Sooo..... what must I do next?

Somehow I had a feeling earlier, that you were tyring to play as the Boshporian kingdom...

Well maybe take this great general give him an elite Army and send him to ~~burn down~~ liberate all of Italia (and all the Barbaroir over there

) - if you haven't been able to get the reforms sofar then take all there tonws (except Rome/Barbaropolis) and build one up to Huge city and let them take it back (nice Phalangites for you

)

The other idea would be to build a greaco-scythian empire in the steppes.... what a wonderful dream

Good luck to which you might choose.

Yeah, a good greco-scythian kingdom, and a parralel story with a Pseudo-Makedonian kingdom (a really - really wild coincidence)... But who need phalangites if u can get Epilektoi, mixed up with HA's.... (Actually, I still prefer hoplitai against those Romans..)

That is great. Now you have two empires to build in the same campaign....

Should the two borders meet are you going to unite them or decide in a bloody civil war who is worthy to rule?

I see. Personally I always prefered Phalangites over Hoplites, but "as many houses so many traditions" (and four times as many tastes).

If you don't want thoose Pahalngites then there should be nothing holding you back from liberating Megala Hellas and conquering the endless steppes at the same time

Interesting point you are in your campaign. What is the current diplomatic situation of your little "Arche"?

VH campaign, M battle
At war with Epeiros, and Makedonia... (in the Hellas), those Agreades had a quick dispatch from Maion's fists... at the north, as usual... Sauro beating is in process... but I now focus my economy (and hence my recruitment) at the south since every turn another Makedonian army try to besiege Pella... It was simulating "Makedonian Civil war" afterall...
The Interesting point is Makedon and Epeiros didn't try to get peace each other... and the Romans was still a puny republic... maybe I plan to add_unit for them...

EDIT: Maion Kretikos was actualy a Rhodian

I think no matter the diplomatic situation, there is without doubt that one thing must be embarked for...

Just how did I must roleplay this "Maion" ... after he becomes Arche of Makedonia... what did he choose to attack, Taras first, or taking from the north?

**Maion Maroneios** · 06-24-2009, 18:26

I guess you couldtry and unify the rest of northern Hellas. Take care of the remnants of the Makedones, and kick tose Epeirotai from the north as well. There good chokepoints which you can defend against them once you push them out (mountain passes). After that, I guess it depends on how you are RPing your campaign.

Be sure to capture Dalminion too! It always becomes the richest city in all my empires after it becomes developed.

Abandon Hellas, make an Empire centered around the Black Sea!

Yeah right, which madman would abandon an already ongoing campaign and go to an profitless area?

Well there are a few of them - aélthough I don't know how they win there campaings...

@Wolf: I would suggest you take the nortehrn Epirote and Makedonian holdings and after that see if you wish to take all of epeiros or take a new direction of conquest...

Those are migration campaigns from the start, not from the middle of a campaign. Only a madman would abandon a campaign after years of turmoil to go to an unprofitable (in comparison to Hellas proper) region.

Thats just what I meant. Unless someone wants to roleplay a massive civil war he won't give up such huge areas - and in this casmpaign the time for Civil war has not yet come.

Besides did this camapign start as a migration (with the troops is Hellas performing better then expected) or was that expansion on the Krim an expedition of a victorious Koinon?
