Here is another save, it might be more of a rarity due to the fact that it is a Spartan save and I control all of Hellas, Rhodes, Illyria and Pannonia (Turn 94). I should also note that i changed the reform date for all factions so that epic battles with elite units may be witnessed from more early on in the campaign.
After my very first turn Macedon moved its army out of Pella, I presume that they were planning to attack Thrace. For whatever reason this led Athens to believe that it could move north in an attempt to take Pella. Due to the fact that Sparta starts as defensive Allys to Macedon I took the advantage, declared war on Athens and conquered the city. From then on it has been quite a hectic campaign, although it has slowed down now.
I am building my regions up with the eventual plan of taking all of Macedonia, Thrace and Asia. The war against a joint Macedon, Pergamon, Sulucids and all of the Selucid satrapies will be absolutely epic! Therefore, I have started trading with anyone who will agree and I am now researching techs to improve the navy.
I have a few Armies at my disposal while managing to maintain an 8k+ positive revenue per month with taxes set on the lowest amount. This has been a very enjoyable campaign so far with many opportunities to invade different parts of the map. Sparta has outgrown Hellas and looks North, East, West and South to find a target.
