Mysia
The Persian Empire is in decline. Is Mysia ready to stand on its own or will it obediently bow to its overlords till the end of time?
[h2]Tester’s tips[/h2]
Mysia is a large state, one of the few on this map. It starts as part of the confederation of the Achaemenid Empire and as such it cannot control its own foreign policy, but it is of great strategic importance as it controls the waterway between Europe and Anatole.
Being a confederation member is somewhat limiting but it gives you time to build up your economy, improve your infrastructure and reform your army. Until you are ready, the Persians kind of shelter you from foreign powers.
At least that is what I expected, but the reality was different. One by one the other Persian provinces established independence and suddenly I found myself surrounded by former friends who valued their own interests more than my friendship.
My advice therefore is to keep on good relations with the other provinces as long as you need them. The proximity to the European coast gives you the opportunity to expand in this direction first but don’t let the others to get too strong a position in Anatole, otherwise they will force you out of Asia Minor.
