Euboea
Euboea always sailed with the strongest but the winds are changing. Are you ready to steer the helm?
[h2]Tester’s tips[/h2]
Euboea is an island lying just off the coast of Attica, big enough for couple of cities that provide a stable basis for your economy and military. It is a major trading partner to other Greek states and it can draw a lot of wealth from this. Trading also maintains friendly relations while the neighboring states are embroiled in bloody conflicts.
On the other hand, being on an island limits the opportunity for territorial gains. There are few islands that can be taken but any attempt to venture on to the mainland will necessarily lead to war. As you have all your military bases for recruitment on the island you must plan your first campaign very carefully. If you fail their wrath will turn against you.
As a member of the Delian league, you are strongly tied to Athens. In my opinion it is important to closely follow the developing relationships around you; a strong reliable partner who can back you up is essential.
I usually wait until one of the warring states starts crumbling and then I try to claim what is left of the dying nation. Once you have a foothold on the mainland, try to secure it before expanding as fast as you can. It will be in your hands to expand beyond your island’s limits.
