Here we go, another one.
So far I've picked up that going for Epirus is possibly a good starting point, but leaving Thracia too unguarded will result in a number of barbarians heading your way. I'm going to try and get a balance between the two.
Turn 1-
Research Logistics
Oddy's men to southern borders, recruit 3x hoplites
Attempt to kill Epirite General with Alexandria at Larissa, or passive action.
Pella- Build Outskirts
Champions of Olympus (Champs) change general to Demetrius Kalos (sp), change bodyguard to Companion Cavalry. Forced march south towards Epirus.
Trade Rights with Athens doesn't appear to work T1 any more. Non-aggression with Ardiaei should though!
Over the next few turns move your fleet on (whatever FM is for Fleet) mode towards Apolliana
T2- Attempt to kill the general at Larissa.
Pyrrus should be in the vicinity under Forced March- move both armies into position (don't forget to take the Champs off FM yourself) and attack him under ambush due to the patch 3 changes! Wipe him out.
Assault Larissa. Deal with any reinforcements before attempting to march into the city itself.
Oddy's recruit 3x Levy Pikes. Secure a promotion for the general.
T3- Build Homesteads in Larissa
Research organised supply
Attempt to make spy defect- she'll be useful!
Forced march Oddy's to Apolliana.
Use the Champs to sweep any Epirite armies away let around. Eventually in subsequent turns march them to Pella.
T4- Assault Apoll. Move your navy nearby to help assault, and let any allies go in first to wear them down.
Demolish any barracks in Apoll
Appoint a "garrison army" for Macedonia. The general should be the statesman you dismissed earlier, as you'll be able to recruit him for 0 gold. Garrison in Larssa.
Oddy FM towards Thrace.
Outskirts in Pulpudeva
Bread and Games edict Macedonia
T5- Land Reclimation
Champions move to the border with Tylis, recruit 1 hoplite two slingers.
Oddy's position behind Champs
In Apoll, Consecrated Ground. If the AI has built two barracks, also build a farm.
Athens- Trade Rights.
Ardiaei- Non Agg if not already, TR for 900.
T6&7 - Tylis FM towards Pupudeva. Kill them with your entire army.
Start work on the Holosideros Barracks in Pella.
And I shall go Softly into the Night Taking my Dreams As will You
