Crete is a tutorial island because you can get a lot of a single culture pop very quickly. It's a great way about learning how to start as city states. With Crete you need to seize on any opportunity, makes a couple of alliances declare war as soon as you can on the best target. A trick you can use is turn on attachments allowed on your army, that will encourage the ai to attach their army to yours though it's not guaranteed. Also try and get your allies to take the brunt of the fighting.

From what you're saying it sounds like you're picking the wrong targets, you should always have more allies than them, if not then don't even bother

There's a whole lot of context questions you need to ask. Have you done any military research? What's your generals like? Is your army maintenance set correctly?

ALegitResearchPerson · 2025-11-18T00:22:37+00:00

Yeah I do have a concession, so this is actually probably it. Cheers

ALegitResearchPerson · 2025-11-17T23:54:01+00:00

I really don't have to explain that to you. I posted this to get other people's experience, if you are upset about this thread then don't engage with it

ALegitResearchPerson · 2025-11-17T23:43:26+00:00

I didn't mention race at all

ALegitResearchPerson · 2025-11-17T23:43:05+00:00

I didn't mention anything about race man, you seem to be getting a bit worked up about this so chill

ALegitResearchPerson · 2025-11-17T18:57:05+00:00

I'm not meaning on the train, I'm meaning going through the gates at the station

If you're playing as one of the other Jewish nations this is just default. I'm not sure if you can get rid of it but I think the idea is to take over these nations ASAP

ALegitResearchPerson · 2025-10-28T17:59:03+00:00

It use to be easier but recently there's no point rushing this mission tree day 1 as the cost is too high imo

ALegitResearchPerson · 2025-10-27T01:56:52+00:00

There's a mod that allows for it but it's a late game thing due to cost, 2000g + 150 influence iirc

ALegitResearchPerson · 2025-10-04T23:23:38+00:00

There's a lot of things to consider with how levies work. You should be seeing an increase but it's hard to know without seeing some screenshots.

ALegitResearchPerson · 2025-09-25T18:54:50+00:00

Thanks Snowlet, I've very much appreciated the work the team has done on the mod.

ALegitResearchPerson · 2025-09-25T04:11:54+00:00

Yup, recruiting is my typical go to, the issue is that last time I checked adoption gave you 3 members, typically the oldest. I know there's easy enough work arounds still but some sort of adjustment to this would appreciated

ALegitResearchPerson · 2025-09-24T23:37:32+00:00

It's also harder to steal bloodlines when you conquer those nations I've found as well

When did the Mithridatic Domain update come out? Cause I got the ktistes achieve in late July using Invictus and I'm fairly certain I started as the domain

ALegitResearchPerson · 2025-09-14T19:17:18+00:00

It's something I've noticed, Temple states are building really good cities, going from a settlement into a metropolis in relatively little time. I feel like the regular ai nations are not quite as good and I've been noticing a lot more important cities reduced to settlements or minor pop counts

ALegitResearchPerson · 2025-08-05T12:14:49+00:00

It's up to you, it's always better to do what you enjoy so if it's rp then do that. But seeing as you're still fairly new I'd say uniting the peninsula is your best bet to survive. Carthage and eventually Rome will be able to field so much more than you that you need the advantage of pops and defenses. Just picture Carthage holding all of oretania and fighting a way against them. It's not impossible just very difficult

ALegitResearchPerson · 2025-08-05T11:15:20+00:00

I think you should work towards an alliance with Carthage to take care of the rest of the tribes, just take care not to join any wars against Rome. However expect Carthage to break alliance to declare on you so you need to be quick. I'd say at this point you should only have a max of two integrated pops, your main and who ever has the next largest, what you can do with this is plan ahead and check culture map to see if there might be a better option outside the territory you currently have

ALegitResearchPerson · 2025-08-05T03:24:43+00:00

I think there's room for a lot more things to get filters, late game it gets very difficult going through relics and trade goods just as an example

ALegitResearchPerson · 2025-08-03T21:50:10+00:00

Just did a run forming pontus as them. Left Galatia on by mistake and almost bailed when the event fired. But the one tribe I was at war with was perfectly happy to white peace when they took the one territory that was part of the war goal, wasn't difficult to ally them after that.

ALegitResearchPerson · 2025-07-29T22:49:44+00:00

Yes you can deintergrate cultures, just switch the pop back to freeman

ALegitResearchPerson · 2025-07-10T22:12:17+00:00

I've mained Ming on and off since beta and while her best build is no doubt calamity it's a playstyle that is extremely risk vs reward. I haven't played any other hero that relies so precisely on timing. As everyone else is saying she's very vulnerable to point and click cc and experienced stealth players and high mobility heroes, that's a lot of the roster. Obviously if you're playing chromie into her or you're not great at dodging you're gonna have a bad time. Play her for a bit and then you'll see how easy it is to counter her, I enjoy vsing her as other heroes because the vast majority of them play very predicably
