Roman: Julii

[Garvanko]

North and West good, South and East bad

Why do you say that?

Going south for Carthage is actually a excellent strategy - slow down the Scipii, gain a rich province and a foothold in Africa. Great for your economy, especially if you get Lilybaem as well.

East? Well, again depends what your overall objectives are.. Dacia, Thrace, eventually Macedon.. where there is tons of denarii, anyway.

Why restrict yourself to poor Gauls and weak Spanish?
