Freedom Under the Kings of Syracuse
Syracuse:
Your king's hoplites are the most blinged out around
You feel better about running into pila with only your shirt and a flimsy shield
Campaign: Hard
Battle: Very Hard
Recruitment: 1-turn (now "more realistic" than 0-turn)
Primary Goals: Defend against Carthage & Liberate occupied Italy
Secondary Goal: Defend or Liberate the entire world
Plan:
- Liberate Sicily from Roman occupation
- Prepare to raise multiple legions for purely peaceful purposes
- Preplanned defensive action against Carthago
- E-day: Liberation forces land on the Italian coast
- Liberate Italy from Roman occupation
- Liberate the entire world
Note: This is somewhat experimental, I have been warned that the massive Roman revenge stacks and other such factors will lead to failure.
So there you have it, look forward to the "conquering historically" loss of Surakousai to Romans. (heh)
Note2: Probably going to be focusing more on the strategic aspect, though battles will give the best pictures =D
I'll explain some of the more campaign-y parts when there's something cool to look at on the map.
