The Ptolemaic Empire has too easy of a time of it in this game. How can I better simulate the gradual disintegration of their ability to recruit Macedonian soldiers and their increasing reliance on natives and mercenaries? Here are some ideas just to get the conversation started:
- Use the reform feature to remove their ability to recruit certain units as time passes
- Add one turn to the recruitment time on their Hellenized infantry
Um...that's all I've got.
One complicating factor is that I'd still like for them to be able to recruit more easily if they capture settlements of Macedonians, especially in Syria.
