As the Eleutheroi, the hardest to conquer are the Romans. Even with your numerous forces in Northern Italy, Central Europe, and eventually, Sicily, the Romans churn out those Hastati like no other, and I eventually lose by attrition. The only way to beat them is the just blitz first thing, from Rhegion, Bononia, and Segesta,.
The easiest would have to be the Sauromatae. There are a lot of steppe armies at your disposal, and you can easily take every one of their settlements before they can get back to you.
The Saba, Sweboz, and Casse are fairly easy as well. For each of them, you have a large amount settlements with large garrisons surrounding them. However, you will need to save the Central European full-stacks for the Romans, so the Sweboz must be dealt with a smaller force than most are comfortable with. The Saba already in range of your settlements in Arabia, but your forces need to mass up beforehand, leaving them a bit vulnerable. But the Casse have their only settlement, while you have a whopping 6 surrounding them. Very easy, if you wait them out.
The hardest thing about playing the Eleutheroi in general is the fact that auto-resolve completely destroys any of your armies led by a captain if you lose. You have to fight every single battle. Urgh.
