Why are the Ptolemaioi such a hated faction?

Plus, their elite phalanxes look pretty cool

Because they regularly win against the AS and become the Yellow Fever, aka Yellow Plague or Yellow Death.

Yes. They're fun to play as, but when put in the hands of the AI, they become the scum of the earth: elite spammers.

Because they make me cheat the AS money every few turns

come to think of it, why don't we just modify the script to give the AS a special 'anti yellow-plague' financial boost?

cause the AS is supposed to collapse.

Yes or other option will be a kingdom of Judia? No?

No, at least I didn't hate Ptolemaioi..... Actually they are the funniest faction because I once found their family are filled with Iudaios....

No other factions could do that........

But although they are elite spammers..... they didn't pose much threat.....

No.
Said kingdom is a road for bigger powers to travel through, in terms of significance for the period, it isn't justified...

I'll hear no arguments otherwise, as they are undoubtedly based in modern concerns...
