Also there access to 'the great wonders of the world' is less. The tactical flexibility of the Romans is less. While the Seleucid got 'elephants', carpaths, silver shield pikeman and silver shield legionaars. So I am not sure..

Anyway Seleucid or the Romans. A good thirt are the people of Carthage.

sorry?!? the flexibility of teh romans isn't so good? how in gods name do you think they conquered the world? they weren't diverse, i agree. in fact they were even less diverse than in game, because they didn't have the kick-ass cav.
with rome all you need is infantry, they haven't got much else, they don't need much else. cav-flanking is a thing of the east. the only variety was archers and siege-engines.

With al respect but I sayed less (than the best of second best fraction).

Romans are emphasising the legonar type. (which wil do anyware anyhow good) but that's mainly it.
