Medium/Medium Difficulty

[Garvanko]

Playing M/M

Best barbarian faction to play first is Britons. They have good units (although Chariots are hard to deal ith at first), while expansion is slightly challenging as you face Gaul and Germania, who have similar tech levels. After that you should be strong enough to take on the Julii.

Best factions to play.. Seluecids - best units in the game, Scipii - nice expansion routes, and you get to deal with Egypt pretty quick if you want, Macedon - Light Lancers. And of course the Brutii.

Carthage is hard.
