^ Looks awesome! Am I the only one who thinks that cities like Syracuse should start out as huge cities in the game, not minor cities? The only large city on the entire campaign map is Carthage. Seems like a waste to have the awesome huge city models for cities when they are rarely used. I've never seen any faction produce a huge city on their own until roughly the end of the 2nd century BC. By then I've conquered most of the Mediterranean, so it really decreases the chances of seeing one on the battle map too.
Speaking of sieges on the battle map, Makedonia recently besieged me at Athens and it was the most glorious heroic victory I've ever had for KH. I cannot believe how smart and vicious the AI is! That siege was so full of tactical maneuvers and split-second decision street fighting that I could have easily lost the battle. My cavalry swinging around the back of troops unexpectedly is what routed many of them and won the day, yet even then the AI was smart enough to protect its flanks near the gate with sarissa phalanx pikemen, to shield fleeing troops being driven down the center by my main infantry force once their general was killed.
Goddamn this mod rocks!
I can't wait to have enough money to build me some Lithobolos siege artillery pieces, too.
Man this Cav is so good , you can ride it into anything , pretty fun faction so far , still the Selucids lackey atm getting pimped by them for 3K a year , had a short war with Pontus , killed a few armies then they were OK with a ceasefire , just in building mode trying to build up the garrisons .
Still being pimped by the Grey death
these guys a nice new addition , can get them almost anywhere in the starting area
Here's a little picture I took, for the glory of Carthage!
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
I was playing as Pontos and was fixing to bring an end to the kingdom of Armenia. As I was besieging their capital defended by their prince, the king's army returned to lift the siege and a bloody battle ensued. An early cavalry charge on a flank mostly made up of tribesmen and archers tipped the scale in my favor and my cavalry's return behind their lines routed them. Unfortunately my king died while defending the other flank from about 9 units of cavalry but my line miraculously held on and I captured the entire royal family there and then. Ensued this:
Still sold them into slavery. Bastards killed my king.
The only thing you cannot do with a bayonet is sit on it. Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord,1st Prime Minister of France, Prince of Benevento.
Love all these pictures. Carthaginian hordes, entire royal families captured and DAMN but those Galatianised spearmen look awesome. Makes me want to try Armenia, now.

beautiful cavalry indeed, Arshak did a splendid job on them.
but something isnt right here. are you still paying tribute? getting Pan-Cuacasian reforms requires Mtskheta to be caprtured and that triggers war with Seleucids after which you cannot go back tributary status (only neutral or allied). did Seleucids declare war on you when you attacked Mtskheta?
Are the Galatianised spearmen in the game? I was testing the new units in custom battles, but i couldn't locate these guys in any roster, in any period whatsoever.
yes, it is Iberian town there.
I just checked (2.2a) and script is broken, no declaration of war. that isnt supposed to happen, you should not be able to get away with attacking Seleukid allies and building empire right under their nose. there is a rebel half stack in the province and it attacked my army (before i could reach the city) and being reinforced by the Mtskheta garrison. so, not sure if removing that stack would resolve it or the script got broken somehow? the notification when clicking on Mtskheta still pops up as intended by the war script doesnt kick in, which isnt right.
