Re: amount of starting land
I've yet to complete my first short campaign yet so I cannot comment on Egypt or Carthage in RTW. However, in MTW Egypt was always very powerful because of its very rich starting provinces and always ended up steamrollering over Asia Minor and into eastern Europe. Can't wait to be the Egyptians myself though ~:cheers: .
Re: amount of starting land
Yes some factions have too much land and some have very little. Carthage never seems to get off the ground, neither does persia or Germania because their lands are too poor. ~:confused:
