Spain. I've never been able to do anything with their mix of units. They are stuck somewhere halfway between the barbarian and more civilized factions and don't seem to have gained any of the abilities of either group. Add that to a poor economic situation and you are quickly pwned by the Julii and Gauls.

overpowered romans... any of the three.

The new kingdom egypts with all their half nacked fantasy units with fantastic stats.

Parthia: Horse Archers. Shoot from miles away and run when the enemy get near. How tedious. And if it isn't HAs it's Cataphracts and War Elephants: all you need to wipe out any enemy in the minimum of fuss. A boring campaign once you've severly weakened your immediate neighbours. You'll end up using virtually the same tactics on everyone from then on in.
