Sorry for the double post, but after reading back through the thread I wanted to reply to this.
Yes. Pretty much any of the senate "missions" would be more important, for me, than Saba.
Until this thread, I have NEVER seen anyone defend Saba. Their family member bodyguard is very weak, and their unit selection is very limited. I don't say this just to infuriate whoever designed the Saba faction, but if you are asknig for ways to improve EB, then either scrap Saba and reintroduce some fun missions that a variety of factions could take advantage of, or improve the Saba faction unit selection and bodyguard.
I was just stunned how many people are defending Saba in the thread here, when I have never seen a pro-Saba post before this.
edit: and yes, I have played Saba. I didn't conquer the world as them, because I found them rather weak and boring, but I did try playing them.
edit2: again, i hope this post doesn't come off as offensive to the EB team. I love your game. Just offering opinions on ways to improve it.
