I get Regions without doing anything

[Macilrille]

Welcome to the Forum and mod :-D

The modders advice that newcomers to the mod- even if experienced RTW players, start as Rome or Carthage. There is a reason for that. many tricks of the game you only learn over time by doing it or reading about it here then doing it. Doing your learning with Saba, which is one of the most difficult factions to play, is not advisable as you risk getting your gaming experience and thus enjoyment of this great mod ruined. You might even be discouraged from playing EB altogether by starting with one of the really hard factions.

My advice would be to start anew with Rome or Carthage to learn, then only as you become experienced with EB move to the more difficult factions such as Saba, Swebôz and Haysdan. Put it this way, if Fluvius failed, there is little chance a new player will succeed.
