Well, this wasn't personally what I did, but in the RPG game YATS (You Are The Senate), in a previous incarnation, someone who had the save took a fleet and a single general, and sailed to a place near Cyrene. Every turn, the general was taken off the fleet on a search for elephant mercenaries, then put back on the fleet when his movements points were almost depleted. By the end of the incarnation, he still hadn't picked up any elephants

[James Cook]

one of the things that I have done so fare is to bye peace through
protectroate(sp) at one time I had like 9 allies with trade rights
so the money just puring in

And a other thing that I have done is, as you said sent a general all the way to baktria
(TE - Mod) too get me some elephats

[Lord Dakier]

Hmmm well I suppose I led a general into Greek lands to aquire some mercenary hoplites and Cretan Archers.

[Lucifer Sam]

on (an older version, with mm of) xgm i went as parthia recruited loads of stacks and went all the way to araibia/ethiopia, with infantry, before attacking anything i'm still not sure why.

[Double X]

One time I was Pontus and the Selucids were attacking me, and were also in war with Ptolemies Armenia. Down to one settlement, I forced diplomacy for them to give me all their denarii and they promptly were ravaged. Oh what fun...

[Erzin]

Spam assassins to kill off enemy generals. Works quite effectively if the add trait cheat is used.

[Selifator]

Send loads of spies to Macedon once the plague hits...

[aznflea]

i had a full stack of generals

my comments?

it was kinda fun. its really awesome not having to worry about logistics as you ship in and out retrained units. the downside is that once a general is gone i lose a whole stack. they usually rout off the map and if they do ill never use them again.

[SonOfAlexander]

As Pontus (and an Irishman), I decided that there was one rebel settlement i really wanted...



I sailed from Rhodes and it took 11 years. That says it all, i believe.

[Lord Dakier]

I done it with Armenia. I love Armenia's troops but am British... so Tara went quite soon then Deva then so on lol. Seen as you are Pontus it probably took similiar time however I done it at the start of the game. Sels attacked Armavir with 3 full stacked armies and I still won lol.

[invictus1991]

As the Scipii I created a whole stack of mercs from all over my empire.
Elephants from the middle east, merc hoplites from greece, samnites and Barbarian mercs from italy, cretan archers and rodian slingers, baleric slingers and scrutarri from spain.
it took forever. then i used it to destroy Carthage

[JrvUnleashed]

It's fun to get an entire army of dogs, pigs, and elephants and seige a city. ANIMAL ARMY. The elephants knock down the walls, the flamming pigs(usually) run through the gate and scare the enemy, then you get 18 units of wardogs to run in and kill everyone. It's friggn hilarious.

Trained more than 100 spies, spreaded the plague over the entire mesopotamia, syria, anatolia, egypt, greece, and repeatedly inflicted for more than 40 years, turned all major cities to 400-population towns and destroyed armenia, ptolemaic, seleucid, macedon, greek cities without a single soldier!

i alway thought it could do alot of damage but not on the scale.NICE

[Lord Dakier]

Haha nice one aqd, I remember doing that to a seluecid 3 settlement stronghold. While they were all dying I was preparing my troops for invasion... once the plagues had all stopped I then leveled their city to the ground... mwahahahaha... I mean destroyed their culture lol.

[aznflea]

why dont the spies die from the plague?

[AqD]

They do. That's why I needed so many spies, about 2-3 per city. I had several cities to constantly recruit new spies and a very very long "supply" line for them - whenever one spy died, another came to his position. Their death rate is higher than any of my soldiers, but for every of them died, they brought thousands of enemies with them!

[Scutarii]

They die eventually, but you can always get quite a few years from them once they get the plague... And sometimes they don't die at all.
