- At the beginning of the year: Marcus Agrippa sails across the Ionian Sea , conquers the Methone naval base , drives the crew of Mark Antony from the island of Corfu and enables Octavian to arrive unhindered by employing Antony's armed forces with the main army of 80,000 soldiers and 12,000 riders to land on the Greek coast and reach Toryne in Epirus in a few days . You are now trying successfully to enclose the majority of the enemy ships that are gathered in the not far away Ambracian Gulf near the Greek port city of Actium . Marcus Antonius, apparently surprised by the rapid action of his opponent, soon has to struggle with a lack of food due to the supply routes being cut off and also loses numerous men through desertions . He then offers a land battle several times in vain.
