Greek Rome

I was playing as the Greeks today and I was ridiculously rich after conquering a few Macedonian & Rebel cities nearby. such as Corinth and Athens. then I wiped out the Macedonians, Rebels and Brutii on the Illyrian Penn. and then took over Nicomedia after Pontus, who just allied with me attacked me.. and I also took the rebel Lycia and Crete. then took Sicily and the very bottom of Italy, this wiped out the Brutii, then I took Capua and the Scipii fell, then after that, after 4 big battles I conquered the city of Rome. I find it odd that the Roman armies put up such a pathetic defence.. the Julii still exist, but are still confined to their starting area, I have no clue why they haven't beaten Gaul yet..

early pre-marius units suck really bad to user controlled factions. some games they will do really well against the AI like Gaul and sometimes they get beat and are set back for several years.
