Playing other factions

[Dimeola]

The fix mentioned here linked to TWC allows playing all factions and works great. Armenia I thought a nice small faction to learn with but has no economy. Then took Gaul, which is spread out. My incursions into N Italia bore fruit....two cities and a whisker away from a third ...was fighting a routing Roman army for the town square when they killed my Gen and wholesale army routed.
Also fighting Spaniards and britons, challenging position.

I have a decent econ/cash flow with armenia right now, had to start over though after (see the Black Sheep thread) my faction hier rebelled with a huge army early in the game.
