so yea Ive played rtw for quite a while now and ive always got far but then I get bored and need to use a new faction but this time I see that playing as the Ptolemaic Empire is quite a fun experience and for me its like fighting the wars of the Diadochi and im having trouble with macedon now but adversity reveals a generals genius.

I don't know where to begin correcting your deplorable grammar.
I shall hope that English is not your first language, lest your God-forsaken mode of communication make me think you're a noob using an easy faction.

Otherwise, it does look like your empire is kicking @$$.

I could understand his grammar just fine.

I'd rather read some poor grammar, though, than needlessly mean comments like yours.

yea i know i suck at english but anyways im waiting on the marian reforms so i can get legionares and then rome will no longer serve a purpose lol muhahahaha but for now it looks like they are fighting a punic war with carthage but im dissapointed in seeing them being pushed out of mainland italy = [

mmmm... I understood him perfectly, there was nothing wrong with his grammar.

That looks like an interesting campaign btw.

I would hate to be the illyrians in that map, surrounded by uber nations, haha

**Gott von Krieg** · May 15, 2007, 02:33 PM

lol yea the romans are at war with the illyrians but they do not attack them for some reason

I think its because illyria is a protectorate of macedon. I want the romans to push into illyria so they have a border with macedon so they have a better chance of fighting with macedon because I always have trouble taking macedon down. the romans are easily defeated by hammer and anvil phalanx which is my trademark formation. but I have a tendency to get pyrrhic victories against marian reform romans

You could always attack some Illyrian territories, then hand them over to Rome so they have a common border.

well actually in that pic you see three armies of macedon there well lets just say that there are no more macedonian troops around the hellaspoint. it wasn't easy but that general with that big cavalry unit really makes a differance. well anyways i was wrong rome does have a border with macedon but thats up in germania and rome has a full stack up there but it just stopped moving so that is actually a good idea to take those illyrian cities and give them to rome. I also just got done making a good sized army in egypt so im sending it up to asia minor now. It has two generals in it including the faction heir, 3 armored elephants, 9 pezoi, 3 agema, and 3 hypastai. that army was just gonna take sparta and work its way up until i swap it with the garrison troops but now i might do that thing with illyria thanks maximus lazero
