Looking for a faction to play as in BI/R:TW

[Omanes Alexandrapolites]

As the ERE (or indeed almost any faction in that region) I've always found that the financially best course of action is to move the capital or even just capture Antioch. Strangely, in every game I've done that, I've never gone into the red. Ports on the island of Salamis also can be useful as well - that place is a real cash cow if the sea trade gets going.
