Ill flgure something out. Barbarian states should fall quite easily regardless who is the player. I just have to get the trick right. Youre not in favor of civil wars? The rebel factions fall so easily, and its a huge boost of loyalty even in my home territory

Mounting fighting. I guess you need alot of peltasts if anything? Im sure cavalry have no use? Im having much trouble winning even when i outnumber the enemy and have a skilled general leading my army Civil wars a good thing? easy to battle and gives the population some victories so they stay loyal?...
