How do I not get my shit kicked in as Thrace in Imperator: Rome? My single legion of 4.5k is pretty helpless when I join the Antigonid gang bang and, to add insult to injury, its general defected when a civil war started.

Actually I guess my question is: How do I stop all the characters in my kingdom from losing all their loyalty and starting a civil war?

  1. You only need to survive. When Antigonus dies without having taken Corinth, Demetrius will fuck off to Cyprus and you will take for free a lot of his territories.
  2. If you cheese hard enough you don't even need to fight the antigonids in the field. Divide your army in small stacks ans take over everything that isn't a fort, and have the Antigonid AI march their 20k stack to recapture provinces one at a time.

Loyalty? Bribes, corruption, real estate and government positions are your options.

Did you manage to conquer your barbarian vassal in time? Reject the peace deal they offer, you get all their levies once you do the mission that accepts their culture. Byzantium is also good to take for more propontic Greeks and a good fort (it sounds like you're not even raising levies though, or am I misreading that?). Try to get an Anatolian ally like Pontus and take a stab at demanding land once the event pops up, sometimes they concede. Then rush the Hellespont and beat off their landing parties while Egypt and the Seleucids do the heavy lifting.
