Cool, you should be the Macedonians and attack the Selucids too, they have elephants, and then you can match your phalanx up against the Selucid and Greek phalanxes too.

Have you played any of the historical battles yet? They rock, put them on hardest difficulty level and play Trazemine, Syracuse, Charrae(sp?) etc. The odds are stacked really heavily against you, but you learn alot about the enemy's strategy when they come after you. Good Stuff.

Also, you can move your capital by getting your City information scroll and going to the city statistics. There should be an option in the lower left of the stats scroll to make that city the captiol. The further away from the capitol your furthest cities out are, the more corruption. Sometimes when I have a city with a lot of corruption I'll build about ten full stacks of peasants from my totally loyal cities from my homeland, and ship them off to the cities in that area. Then I'll stage them outside the city, set the taxes on high, and withdraw my troops until they revolt. Then I go in and massacre the inhabitants, and send in my peasants, then disband the peasant units to repopulate the city with loyal subjects.

Hope that helps,

Oskaar.
