Pointless playing Romani?

[konny]

Does anyone feel that it is somewhat pointless to play a Roman campaign given the huge area needed to be conquered and the ease at which you are able to produce high quality troops?

Unless you start spamming Extrordianrii - which should be kept extraordinary - the Roman units are solid good, but not high quality like the mass of elites the Greeks can recruite. The start of the campaign is easy with the Romans, but the game becomes much more challenging later on when the other factions are able to recuite their elites.
