ok, so rome will be with three patriarch-families. at least that what i've read. could somebody give a source about the three families, cause i don't get it.
but please tell me those three will all be dead-poor. if they are all reasonably rich they will rule the world with 10% of their original time. rome was superior, no doubt, but not already at 210 BC.

so why this choice? caus it will seriously affect gamplay. if I where Bactria, and i decided to go west. all I would find is Rome.
