Balance and predictability?

[Colovion]

These are the factions that seem to be huge and out-of-control-strong:

Rome in general
Egypt



Two campaigns - one as Julii - one as Greece. Even when I'm killing Egypt's fleets they stay away from the Aegean now and grow strong outside of my borders.....

[Emperor of Nowhere]

I would have to agree with pretty much everybody else in sayinf that in my opinion Egypt is way overpowered. I was playing as Armenia and had a full garrison in my capital led by my five star faction leader as well as a full stack right beside my fully upgraded city and I still lost to a three quaters full Egyptian army.
