the most important thing is probably to keep them out of the roman pila range since it will take quite a while until you can rebuild your spartan hoplites make sure that you dont waste them unecessarily - a good way to use them is to kill the faction leader of the macedons who will probably crush most of your other units. your faction leader has a lot of guards that are very valuable against the brutii attempts to invade greece. In early game make use of your faction leader and your spartan hoplites. Greeks lack of strong cavalry and archers so make use of mercenaries that fill this gap whenever they are available No matter for which you decide focus your main forces on the romans and take them out, scipii wont be strong anymore after you took messana and the brutii wont be able to expand In minor asia go for nicomedia immediately with the strong mercenaries available to deal with pontus which will probably attack youĪfter you took out macedons you should either go for thrace or support minor asia and take the cities of rebels and pontus In greece immediately take out the macedons - their large amounts of cavalry are really a pain and their cities are rich and wont give any problems with different culture etc. Your other cities go heavily for economy - with the trading bonus from rhodos your economy should grow fastĮxpand everywhere: let the scipii siege syracuse - the stone walls and your army will destroy them and then take out messana My hints for the campaign(vh/vh approved)įocus your building strategy: syracuse and sparta go for temples of nike to give units experience, furthermore tech up your barracks as far as possible
