The world of Imperiums: Greek Wars is volatile but with clever politics and side dealing you can outsmart even the great states of Athens, Sparta or Macedon.



Nurturing good relations with your allies is the key. Don’t think that they will love you for your beautiful eyes, nothing, least of all their reliability comes for free. However, there are a number of little things that you can do to keep them on your side and show them that you care.

Check from time to time to see if they need additional resources, especially those that you can easily spare. Send these resources as presents now and again with no strings attached. Have they just come through a recent war and now need to repair their border cities? Send them wood and stone to help them re-build their settlements. They will appreciate your concern and if you have provided something they really need, your value as an ally in their eyes will increase greatly. It can go further than just improving cordial relationships, you can cement mutual trust and tie them to you with bonds of true friendship.



Perhaps it seems romantic but the AI knows all about honor and respect!

In a world where war is like the daily bread, being able to defeat all of your enemies alone is unlikely. Find friends and allies with common interests and use these bonds to advance your expansionist plans.




Don’t fall for the beginner’s mistake of feeling strong and invincible, even if everything is going well for you, plans almost never work out the way you want them to. Did you envision a quick assault on strategic positions, mines and cities taken, enemy forces divided and the swift demise of your opponent? Good in theory, but more often than not, you will find yourself bogged down in a war of attrition going nowhere because the enemy simply won’t give up and fights you to the last man.

Rather, unite your allies and partners against your opponents. Let them cooperate in your military plans and divide the spheres of influence in enemy territory between you. With goals agreed in advance and multiple attacks at different locations you will keep your enemy off balance. Also, you won’t have to carry the whole burden of the military campaign alone, war is an expensive and lengthy endeavor and can deplete your resources to the brink of collapse, despite the spoils of war.



You’ll have to cede few rich cities and strategic locations to your allies to make the dangerous war campaign worth their risk, but it might make the conquest of enemy lands faster, saving precious men and resources.

Don’t be too greedy. The Imperiums world knows no mercy and will punish every one of your mistakes. Divide and conquer .. that’s the motto of victors.

Even minor Greek city-states dream of a great future. Would you dare to take the oath to make this dream true?



[h2]Tester’s tips[/h2]
Elis is a very small state squeezed into the western corner of Peloponnese. Its size is limiting for growth and army build up, especially on higher difficulties, it is extremely hard to stay afloat economically and politically.

Although most of its neighbours are similarly small and weak, the whole Peloponnese is like a pack of wolves and if you show any sign of weakness, everyone will want to take a bite.

My advice is to try to get one of the neighbours (I usually go for Arkadia and Sparta) to sign a military pact and then join them once they spill over the border of the less lucky nations on Peloponnese. It is often Messenia who gets to be beaten first but the trick is to be faster than your military ally and conquer the strategically most important points before them (e.g. mines).

Be sure that in this location, you cannot stay out of war for long.
