What kind of units are you using?
Everyone seems pretty happy in Iberia at the minute. I'm guessing either the population is so low it can't revolt, or they forgot that 180 years ago they used to be Lusotana. Probably the first one, since culture penalties never seem to go away.

Not sure about the Casse invasion, it might have happened already. Maybe they can put some of that money they put into training stacks into buying a boat, and liven things up in northern Europe.

As for the units, It really depends where I am, and what I can get. In Egypt, I'm finding a lot of use for Machimoi, backed up (well, followed) by Pantadapoi. I did get some nice mercenaries from around Alexandria, like some Classical/Celto-Hellenic Hoplites, which is about the heaviest infantry I've had all game.

In the north I'm using mostly horse archer/skirmisher armies, and around Susa I use Thanvare Parsig, Hyrkanian hillmen, Hoplita Haploi and whatever cavalry I can get my hands on.

BTW, in my opinion, it would be splendid if you switched to a smaller map size. All of the extra detail is nice, but not necessary. It is very hard to see overall picture of the start map situation when you can view only about 15% of the map at a single time. Just a suggestion.
Done that. They were a bit big. Was annoying me too
