Most boring faction to play as

[athanaric]

I;ve been using those lately.

but I still want those elephants; how do I train them? whatgevernment is required? I, II, III, or IV?

You need lvl 4 regional MIC for Pilei Ya'ar Libim (the small ones) and lvl 5 regional MIC for Elephantes Liboukoi (the Bush Elephants). IIRC, Indian Elephants require lvl 4 regional MIC. Thus, Type IV government is probably the best for elephants.
By the way, be careful when using the Elephantes Liboukoi. Although they are at least as powerful as the Indian Elephants, their morale is extremely low (4, which is less than half of that of Arab slingers). Fortunately, government types III and IV come with a +1 experience bonus for Saba.

I honestly like Saba a lot, very challenging and a good starting position.

Baktria has a very good endgame but the first couple of turns are very boring.

Most boring faction to play:
Sauromatae and Romani

Sauromatae because of the huge distances between their settlements
Romani: Because you're at 255B.C the Bill Gates of the ancient world and steamroll all faction with your moneyz.
