The Greeks could rule the world. Alexander did. He took a Greek army to the far Indus, there was nothing left to conquer, the world was his. But Alexander is dead, his empire gone. So we live in evil times, the Greeks fight against each other, instead of their proper enemies, all who envy all the Greeks have accomplished...
But the world turns. What was may come again. The fates still spin the web of men, what once was may soon be again!
If you have a copy of Rome: Total War patched up to 1.6 just post if you want in! This shall chronicle the triumphs and tragedies of the Greek peoples. Medium difficulty. Huge units.
The Greek world, 270 B.C. I get to work on building ports. Ports for cash. And train a phalanx in Sparta. Top priority should be uniting Greece.
Turn 2; our spy opens the gates of Corinth. A glorious victory!
I occupy it. We get the Statue of Zeus; one of the most useful wonders. Loyalty!

Back to business!
Not a whole lot going on for the next few turns, I focus on economic buildings to get a good cash-flow. I lay siege to the rebel city of Athens; after all, their "democracy" will never catch on.
Unfortunately the Macedonians didn't take kindly to me swiping Corinth from them and attack my besieging army with two of their own! I deploy in my favourite formation; Hannibal's Crescent. Weak units in the center, stronger units on the flanks to envelop the foe when the weaker unit begins to cave.
The Macedonians cometh, notes our King. Fortunately, our army outclasses them.
The bloodbath begins! Bwahahaha!
I dispatch the first army of idiots (sadly I didn't manage to kill the enemy general - he scarpered, and since I have no light cav he got away), only to have the second attack my right flank.
Good think I remembered the military maxim "Make the right strong!". The fools run into my Spartan hoplites. Then for good measure I get the King stuck in too.
The rest of them sound the retreat and high-tail it back to Macedonia. Athens falls. I occupy the city. Winged Nike favoured the sons of Hellas this day!
I hand the Hellenic States over to you, Strategos Nam! Press the attack! Show no mercy!
We're rolling in riches. You should have no serious problems. I'm starting to think we might have picked a too easy difficulty for strategic genii such as us. Give it a pop, and if you're comfortable with M/M, we'll keep it on that, otherwise I *think* I can change it with RomeSage. Or I might just change it for my games, if you definitely don't wanna be fighting VH/VH, just gives a bit more of a challenge IMO.
For Spartaaaaa!
