Yeah that's pretty much it yeah. Being an independent Greek right now is a bit tough. We'll likely add some starting armies over there to give you a chance.

Athens and Sparta combined have more strength than Macedon, and Macedon would take two turns to reach Sparta at a minimum. While some rebalancing needs to be done, it's mainly for the AI. If you are a human player and can't hack it as Sparta with Athens and Epirus as an ally, I have to say that's on you.

Didn't that happen in history though? One of the Philips of Macedon beat Athens into the dust i believe

Scratch that, I sent my general to Pella with as many mercs as possible. The stack of Macedonians near Sparta left and crushed my decoy army but I got in as many kills as I could so hopefully someone could take them out and what do you know next turn Pella is under the rule of Athens =]
Now objective is to take Athens so gonna take other cities along west coast til I have enough for a second stack.
After that, it's campaign as normal.

Just a quick question, is Sparta under the same rules as Rome 2 when it comes to having no trade option from Sparta itself? basically being forced to take Athens?
