Actually, the only boring part of a Saba campaign is the endless battles and sallies against countless horribly imbalanced (as in: Phalanx only...) Ptolemaic and AS armies.
By the way, Saba can recruit Galatikoi Kleruchoi, Indian Guild warriors, and three types of Elephants. And their version of Pantodapoi Phalangitai looks cooler to me than those of the other factions.

You need lvl 4 regional MIC for Pilei Ya'ar Libim (the small ones) and lvl 5 regional MIC for Elephantes Liboukoi (the Bush Elephants). IIRC, Indian Elephants require lvl 4 regional MIC. Thus, Type IV government is probably the best for elephants.Quote:

thanks! *goes off to save the war effort*Quote:

Baktria has a very good endgame but the first couple of turns are very boring.

Most boring faction to play:
Sauromatae and Romani
Sauromatae because of the huge distances between their settlements
Romani: Because you're at 255B.C the Bill Gates of the ancient world and steamroll all faction with your moneyz.
