Messenia now starts in the Mantineian defensive league, this should help their survivability against Sparta
Yeah, it did in real life. I don't see any real opportunities for expansion here. Correct me if I'm wrong please because I'd love to expandFrom the patch notes...
Didn't read thoroughly
...but will that stop a real Spartan?
Will let you know how it goes. You start out with a deficit and only 2 ships so Crete will be difficult. Just found out you can snag an alliance with macedon early so I might try using them as a battering ram against greece. We'll seeNot played the update yet, I guess just take your time, maybe try take some of Crete? Forge a strong alliance and pounce on oppertunities where the alliance is in a defensive war? That’ll be my plan anyway.
Do you also have a problem with the characters in the game?
Yes it will, they immediately stomp you with 25k+ army since Menander also apparently make enemies stack more....but will that stop a real Spartan?
Crete is super hard since you have no money for the fleet, and no way to get them as you can't conquer anything in Greece. Macedon is quite open to alliance but won't help you much because even if they somehow join the fight, they are too busy with certain one-eyed guy and they are far so by the time their reinforcements would arrive, you are already gone since enemy is really better in joint wars now.Will let you know how it goes.

Found a way. Use macedon or Phrygia to destroy their defensive alliance. Add on argoron Lycaen and Ellis and you're good to goYes it will, they immediately stomp you with 25k+ army since Menander also apparently make enemies stack more.
Previously it was kinda hard to expand since the first enemies were doable but then the DIadochi blobs were there. And the clock is ticking, if you take too long everyone will ally with everyone and it will be impossible to expand (unless Menander did changed the WW1 chain reactions in case of war).
Most importantly, Menander make spartan mission a pure sneer at player. Just when i finally thought Menander will make me like this game, it blocks one of the few remaning interesting starts (since all the others are blocked by Diadochii blobs since always).

I will play some more tomorrow, but i don't have much expectations. I will not fight in the shade.
You have to do what real life Areus tried to do, invade Crete. Areus died there, but luckily it doesnt have to happen again in Imperator: Rome.Yeah, it did in real life. I don't see any real opportunities for expansion here. Correct me if I'm wrong please because I'd love to expand
Anyone know why when i choose to call allies to war the check mark says they will, but then they betray? is there something im missing here?
Get strong alliesYeah, it did in real life. I don't see any real opportunities for expansion here. Correct me if I'm wrong please because I'd love to expand
They have the checkmark showing they will join the war, but then after checking their name and declaring they don't join and you lose the alliance. Maybe the numbers were actually showing they wouldn't join but the checkmark stayed idk. Wasn't sure if this was built into the game or a bugWhat do you mean by "betray"? Do they join the war not at all, do they leave it some point or are they in the war and just don't engage in it/help you with their contribution?
