    Default Demetrias In Macedonia

    Hey tis my first post in this section and just wanna say ive been playing Europa Barb since its release, Definatly the best mod I've ever played and just want to say thanks for all the hard work.

    I've just finished reading Livy Rome and the Mediterranean and decided to start a Macedonian campaign . . ..I wonder why?!

    Anyhoo down to the nuts of it. I noticed that theres a city called Demetrias. I presumed this was included as PhilipV founded this town after he killed his son named Demetrius. I may be wrong and livy is a propaganda spouting madman so please shout out if i am as its an era and a war im extremely interested in.

    Just wondering if it was put in there for that fact and if so why? as it would of been founded many years after the game start time.

    Welcome to the boards me

    No. Demetrias was founded by Demetrios Poliorketes (father of Anitigonos Gonatas and great-grandfather of Philip V) in about 290 BC.
