Will Pontus Be CRUSHED Between the Seleucids & Macedon? | TITW (1)

Surrounded by enemies on every side, Pontus faces a brutal fight for survival. Greek rivals threaten from the west, the mighty Seleucid Empire looms to the south, nomadic hordes bring deadly horse archers, and fierce barbarians and eastern factions each present their own unique challenges. To make matters worse, I'm imposing some serious restrictions: ✅Legendary difficulty ✅This Is Total War ✅No fort defences ✅No food stealing ✅Maximum 3 pike units per army ✅Early game units only (Tier 2 max) Every enemy requires a different strategy, and with limited troops at my disposal, I'll need to adapt, outmanoeuvre my opponents and fight smart to keep Pontus alive. Can Pontus overcome the odds and build an empire, or will the surrounding powers crush us before we get started?
