HELP! 2 armies vs. 2 armies. Both mine, and AI sucks hard!

[egervari]

I have two armies against two Scythian armies. The problem is that if I don't let the AI control them, it's basically 2 vs 1, which really stinks in this case. If I let the AI control the other one though, he couldn't play it any worse than he does. Let's just say he always gets my general killed and sends all of my cav right into their lines (they are light cav for 's sake!). He also doesn't coordinate with me at all, and is so messed up that I can't possibly support him.

This battle occurs on the Scythian turn, and I don't really have a save beforehand. What do I do?

You don't have a save? How did you replay it? If you've got a save, upload it here and I'll have a look.

Well, I managed to just escape from the battle. Not something I considered because I thought the consequences would be worse, but they just left me alone. Then I got them next turn 1vs1 in two battles and all worked out well.

I am now at 32 regions, but I'm running out of territory to capture. I still have 3 spanish regions, and maybe 4-5 more Scythian regions... but I hate how far out everything is. Sending reinforcements is actually really a pain. I got 4 stacks on the scythian front now, but the distances are sure long from region to region. Meh.

Basically, I think I have to attack the green romans now, and take out rome. What else is there to right? Any other options, or is that what I'm supposed to do?

What faction are you playing? It's always good to attack the Romans wheneer you can because they're usually the best challenge.

Oh, I'm playing the julii. I'm just noticing that the game is so slow going now after capturing 32 places. I am just too busy moving troops where they need to be, dealing with stupid riots in Scythian territory (ARGH!!! The blasted capital of theirs!), generally have no idea where to strike anymore.

I have 2 more spanish regions to get (1 revolted, so it should only be one), which makes 34 regions total. That means I still need 16 more to beat the game.
