Looks good, about the protectorate, does anyone know if you keep playing if you become a protectorate of what? I was thinking of starting a campaign to see.

"For the freedom...... AND GLORRRRY.... OF GREECE!!!! ZEUS BE WITH US!!!!". Macedon for my money is amongst the very strongest factions in the game, but not at the start when all you've got is militia hoplites. Nice idea with your semi-circle, but if I may advise, have your circle bending outwards away from the enemy rather than in towards them - you won't be easily flanked this way. Also, and I cannot stress this enough for any phalanx army, make sure you're fighting on a hill with the enemy coming up at you rather than down on you. Phalanxes get demolished when fighting on a downward slope, no matter how long their phallic spears might be!

That battle is going to be very tough. Their general's considerable number of stars will count against you too. Find the highest ground you can, settle down into a ring, and charge anything that moves with your lancers!
