amount of starting land

[smoothiemaker]

the amount of starting land i think outrages. expesiouly for egypt they shoud lower the amount of land it starts with or the amount of money becouse it starts with the most land or = the most land with gual and it also has some ogf the best troops. the amount of land cathage start with is tiny like 5 pices and 2 are almost amidatly taken away by room and a third is uslay attacked by spain. but hstoryicly cartage was the pain in the ars to rome but in the game rome beats it silly with no trobale at all. i think the sould cange the amount of land some factons start with. dose any one else think so.

I've yet to complete my first short campaign yet so I cannot comment on Egypt or Carthage in RTW. However, in MTW Egypt was always very powerful because of its very rich starting provinces and always ended up steamrollering over Asia Minor and into eastern Europe. Can't wait to be the Egyptians myself though .

Yes some factions have too much land and some have very little. Carthage never seems to get off the ground, neither does persia or Germania because their lands are too poor.
