Hi,
I'm really lost with this map. The AI starts with Athens and me with Sparta - is this always the case or I'm just unlucky?
I tried to go over to Crete and reduce the AI bonus, but I can't get there fast enough to avoid the AI having enough armies to kill me from the north on the Peloponnese. If I just concentrate on mainland Greece - the AI gets too much armies and kills me in the end.

Any ideas?

Anyone willing to upload a community level that is the same as the single player level, so I don't need to go through the trouble of actually unlocking it to try it?

Maybe the below helps:
