Defensive Warfare - The Spirale Effect

In defensive warfare, you are essentially leveraging your weaknesses into power and victory. By seeming stronger than you are, perhaps through an occasional act that is reckless and bold, you can deter the enemy from attacking you. In 281 b c, war broke out between rome and the city of tarentum on italy's east coast. The solution was to call in a greek army to fight on its behalf. If battle cannot be avoided, get them to fight on your terms. Aim at their weaknesses. Make the war expensive for them and cheap for you. Fighting with perfect economy, you can outlast even the most powerful foe. You must know your limits and pick your battles carefully.
