Is anyone else going to play Epirus first. Tactics?

[Imperial Glory]

Where are you going to invade first? Will you try for Sicily as Pyrrhus did or will you wage war on makedon and the greeks? What will your tactics be like, flanking with Epiruses signiture calvary or utilising their higher general's command stats in autoresolve. I'm going to attack the Illyrians at the campaigns start and then flank around and assault Makedon through Dacia. Off coarse, I will make full use off their cavalry and especially the Hounds of Molussus.

Too optimist.
auto_win defender is much more probable.

I will conquer local rebel towns if there are any and then literally amass my entire army and land in southern Italy. My goal will be to capture Tarentum before the Romans have arrived and try to spread along the south coast as far as possible.

Naturally this will bring an inevitable war with the arrogant Romans. I hope in the meantime I can convince Carthage to Ally with me and the Gauls. It will simply be a war of attrition at that point. I will defeat Roman army after roman army until they have few on the field hopefully at this point I will have enough forces to expand further enabling me to bring it greater income. I will sit on this and develop for a few turns and then obliterate Rome once and for all. I expect to lose my homelands to the macedonians or illyrians at this point. But Italy will provide my people with far more fertile land. Once Italy is fully under my control. I will retake my homeland and all of greece.
Form there I will declare war on Carthage. This will be the epic battle.

Hannibal is my hero and Pyrrhus is someone i admire greatly. Im not sure which faction I will pick first.

[Barbarian Nobility]

When I play as Epirus (there are a cpl of other factions I want first) I'll secure the Greek homeland first by subduing the Macedonians, Athenians, and Spartans. I'll then secure my northern frontier against the Illyrians. Then I will try and ally with Carthage and eliminate the the Roman threat once and for all...

From that point my faction leader will become the second Alexander the Great, marching through Anatolia and Asia minor to reunite all the bickering Diodichi and once again conquer the known world

[Imperial Glory]

Hmmm both strategies are sound. I will probably try them out after suing carthage and Pontus. Also after i have conquered Illyria and Mekadon, I'l build my economy enought to assault either sicily or hellas. Maybe both at the same time!

Always remember Alexander was half Epirote

I feel like it will be impossible to conquer Athens, Sparta, and Macedonia whilst waging war against the Romans. If anything I would see if I could unify Greece through diplomacy. Then set about defeating the Romans. In RTW Macedon can not take on Thrace, the Greek Cities and Rome at the same time. Too many enemies. Make allies, and hopefully R2TWs diplomacy and alliances won't be screwed up so that your allies always betray you 5 turns in. I have not finished a single RTW game without being betrayed.
