Playing in med mod I beleive that the Scilians have the best units avaliable in comparsion to any other faction. Access to almost all of the italian infantry especially theirs spear units, Scilian knights and fuatawas (I like archers who can still charge in and make a difference when the melee side is slacking.) which make a nice balance side.
Main difficulty is expanding at the begining which is a course of building naval ships and following political currents. In my latest game it was a matter of following the italians and spanish into war against the Almos. Letting the spanish and italians take the bulk of their armies. I succestfully lead the Scilian armies into Northen africa and proceeded al the way to spain. Then in good christian sprit I sacked the the rest of Spain before they could recuprate and killed the spanish KIng. Spain, Africa and sciliy... Naval power... Italian Spears... Scilian Knights...what more could you want.
