Another bad thing in my opinion is that there are too few cities(provincies)...u just conquer once city and get 1000 miles of land?no realism here,put more provinces(please!!!!!)
I havent started to conquer Sahara but i hope it can be conquered otherwise whats the logic in placeing provinces there and cities if u cant conquer them?I think it would be nice if u can,brings options to the player and makes the game more fun and realistic(everyone could go anywere he wanted).Also u can scrip the AI to expand somewhere else or something,no need to make unconqerable provincies(stupid ideea)!
The reason the Casse are included has been answered, ad nauseum, so here it is:

The Arverni and Aedui were in a civil war at the time--not really something that can be represented by having rebels. You need 2 factions to represent this properly. Besides, some people gripe that there aren't enough Celtic factions, and there are too many Hellenic ones. Can't please everybody, I guess.


As for more provinces or settlements, we're at the limit. The game can't handle any more. So that's it. You can't actually conquer the Sahara. Most of it is inaccessible desert. You can conquer the city at the northern edge of it, however. The map has to be rectangular, so if you leave out the Sahara, you'd also lose the Arabian peninsula. If you tilt the map, you'd cut out the northern steppes. Neither of those is something we wanted.
