    I don't need "allies" who can't keep their hands out of my wallet. :P
    Money is scarce as Saba and I don't want to spend anything on adventures in the North
    so early in the campaign.

    "Allies", were, traditionally expensive to have around. Why else would there be the simple and easy option of 'conquer and genocide'? A lot less frills, and you actually -get- money out of doing it. The Hellenes have innovated a systematic approach to it, as did the other civilized cultures like the Keltoi. The Rhomaioi improved upon their models and elevated it into an art form and.........................................

    If Petra or Palmyra has a big army which is costing you money, then roleplay them setting out on their own quest of expansion by attacking the Seleucids or Ptolemies. That will either get most of their army killed off, saving you money, or they'll conquer a city, offsetting their upkeep costs. Or just disband most of their army.

    Just out of interest, I wonder how many emporers and rulers in history have said ' if only my allies had done exactly as I wanted them to, and when I wanted them to, we wouldn't be in this mess right now' ?

    one of the best features of the RTW world for me is the unpredictability of the AI, it adds hugely to the game.... oh and if you are such an experienced RTW that you can never lose... try only fighting the battles with one army (as if you were with it in the field) and let the AI fight all your other battles for you..... yes, you will lose a lot more fights, but you will come to realise the problems of running a huge empire personally.... ask Napoleon, or any of the other great rulers from history....

    Never dared to play them with those Hellenistic monsters in the neighbourhood :)

    I'll give them a try soon and create a nice, Hellenistic influenced, kingdom ;)

    Sorry to say, but after a few campaigns the AI becomes horribly predictable.

    For RP-ing that is a good idea BTW.

    actually you will lose msot of the fights, especially when playing as Saba, because your units are much weaker than of your neighbours and the AI Generals have better stats mostly.

    Search for the entry behind "faction_creator", to identify the right factions you will need this
