Makes me so happy whenever I manage to avoid the first rebellion.
PrayForRain- if you're playing on H/VH it will be a very tough battle from either perspective; the high casualties will usually prevent you from quickly overrunning the other's nearby territories too quickly. Hire a lot of mercenaries if you want to keep up the momentum of your offensive.
Something to think about: if the Seleucids garrison Jerusalem too strongly, bypass it and raid Antiochiea, it literally provides half of the income and over half the high quality units at the beginning of the game for the Seleucids. Reducing the city to the basics and withdrawing will set them back a good 40 turns or more, by the time they rebuild Antiochiea they'll be fighting the Parthians and possibly the Armenians (not to mention the endless rebels in their empire), so you can take their Syrian provinces in a more leasurely fashion.
FYI: I only play 1 turn campaigns.
@TheJim: Yeah, money isn't really my biggest issue at this stage. I was struggling a lot after the second rebellion with that, had a lot of unupgraded cities rebelling and barbarians encroaching on my borders. But by now I make 450k+ per turn while building 2 stacks a turn. And boats are good at ferrying troops to the front since the Armenia hasn't build roads anywhere. Silly them.
@Verael: Guess who just attacked me? T_T Cataphracts everywhere!
Plans within plans...
not sure but i think that in all the non-seleucid campaigns the seleucid empire is provided with advanced recruitment centers in most of his cities: i remeber when i played a parthian campaign that i found elite recruitment centers ( or how the hell they are called) in many of the cities i conquered
Meh cba to play as Dacia.
Oh well back to slaughtering legions on my Cimbrii campaign.
Well it's easy enough to defeat,mass all surviving southern forces at Rhegion or Tarrentun,whichever stays loyal as well as the force at Dyrrachium (if you don't want it) and the Sicily force,move your northern army (which should have by then defeated hannibal and taken Genoa) and take the cities back one by one) All it does is set me back 10 turns.
The year was 596 a.u.c when the word reached the Spartan King that the Romans had declared war on his nation, following our conquest of the jewel Syracuse.
Surprised the King reacted: Ro-who?
Romans, my lord! They've attacked us!War is upon us!
Steal yourself boy!You're a Spartan. Now who are these romans you speak of?
Sigh...nevermind, just order the invasion of Italy.
Ah! Now you're talking! Assemble the armies! Ready the navy for Spartan Wrath is about to fall on......erm...who were they again?
Romans sir, romans.....
Romans!!!!!
There, a bit of cheap and silly RP to describe my spartan campaign.
I have currently played two campaigns (none of which are completed, both 0-turn).
