Rome Total War German Chronicles 9: Fighting Greek Culture Rebel

This Battle was, on a strategic level, important because it's an early outpost for the future invasion of Italy. It's also a Rebel City. That means it doesn't lead you to enter in a war. You always need to consider a Rebel City as an easy way to expend.

On the tactical level there is not much to say, except that it's an early reminder that Greek phalanx are very good at holding ground. That's why you need to constantly try to flank phalanx with your cavalry if you can, or you will have many dead soldiers on your hands.
