Right now, on my H/H campaign with the ERE, I am at an equilibrium. The Persians attack one of my forts I have guarding the entrances into the main part of the realm (Euphrates crossing outside Antioch [my new capital] and mountain passes to the north), I smack them (still too small of armies, but at least they are not incompetant) and then I get tribute from the Persians. The west is more interesting, as I just had Sirmium, under Hun rule for a long time, defect to me. Now I have to defend it. I am mainly working on infrastructure, but I know I need to move out soon. The problem is, I know when I move, I am going to have to spread myself out, which will leave me open to attacks from the Persians (not such a big deal with my forts) or one of the Hordes might try to go East again (right now I think they are squabbling in Germany).

I think it is fun, but WRE should be more interesting.
