Epirus usually is killed by Rome between turn 30-60, and by this time, Athens and Sparta should be your allies and helping you fight Rome if Rome has declared war on you while you had defensive alliances in place. It is better to defeat Rome and take over greater Italy before unifying Sicily.īreaking off diplomacy with Epirus will also ease the transition into diplomacy with Athens and Sparta due to Epirus’s Hellenic diplomacy penalty. Taking the island of Sicily may seem appealing, but holding it from your fortress in Syracuse is more difficult than it sounds. Until that point, playing both sides is recommended to stall. Carthage will have positive relations with Rome until a certain point in the timeline. But war with Carthage is and should be avoided until Rome is dealt with. Make no mistake, war with Rome is not avoidable.
Making this decision will stall war with either of the two big dogs. So to fix that, I recommend breaking any diplomacy you have with Epirus on turn 1. Diplomacy is incredibly difficult as Syracuse as both Rome and Carthage mistrust you due to your alignment with Epirus.
