Bah, XGM always overpowered the evil side... trigger a faction wide corruption will made roleplaying in XGM a complete ruin... In EB, If u educate your family in a good condition, corruption should arise, but only for a few selfish guy... When I play XGM, extended culture... my previously good Carthago FM's all go nuts and thanks to that crap, my dilligently earned, and drilled family lost all their good vices..., so the next thing I do is WAAARRGGHHHHH **** XGM, and back to EB, FATW, and VI II...
BTW, back to topic, I tends to enjoy middle game mostly... as u fight soo many enemies in soo many directions, with regular fullstack vs regular fullstack.... early game is nearly nothing (yepp, easy beginnings) for those Big four faction (Romani, AS, Ptolemaioi, Karthadst), and hard earned and full of briliant tactics for the others... challenging, but the battle of 1FM with 6 Hoplitai haploi, and 3 sphendonetai against 1 FM, 4 phalangitai and 1 bunch of toxotai and 1 akontistai, is not comparable with full stack of thorakitai vs argyraspides...
Late game just need much patience, except there was only 2 superpower... (really fun late game)
