I think to a certain extent people tend to underestimate the difficulty of the Romani campaign. They have a good starting position, stable economy and good troops, but as the Romani you have to conquer a LOT of land, which makes for a grueling campaign. Plus, once you run into the Yellow Fever or Silver Death, reinforcing provinces becomes very difficult when they're half-way across the map. I wouldn't say the Romani are as hard as Pontos, Pahlava or Hayasdan, but I just thought I'd put in a good word for them. -M
