    Well, the Romani seem to be 50/50 for me, in my campaign with the Sels they started conquering Europe, but in my Sweboz campaign, they ended up as Karthadastims protectorate.

    In my Makedonian campaign, they conquered all of Italy except Taras (the Epeirotes' only city left), and only conquered Messana in Sicily. They took southern Gaul and were embroiled in a pretty fierce war with both of the Gallic factions as well as the Iberians. Full stacks were wandering everywhere on both sides.

    In my Makedonian campaign, Rome started slow, but then became a monster. It conquered most of Karthadastim, Aeudi, Arverni, and Iberia, and made them all protectorates. It also had Sweboz as a protectorate, and was busy crushing Getia. It was scary.
    Let me go back and face the peril!

    Sounds like they perform in an historically accurate fashion . There were various moments in their history where they could have stagnated and been destroyed .
    Basically , it rings true that they either stagnate and are eclipsed or become a powerhouse empire . Rome wasn't the sort of cuture that was suited to modest success ; they were only capable of great success or great failure !
    7 out of 10 people like me ,
    I'm not going to change for the other three .

    Once, that´s right, once have the Romani expanded out of "Italy" in all my EB-games and I´ve played a huge amount of campaigns. IMO they are a dissapointment. However the Ptolemies have never failed in their expansions. The difference can´t be maney since both have a good economy. Maybee it´s a lack of other factions in the vincinity that makes the Ptolemies soo successful?!

    Do all the factions start off at war with rebels? If not that might be an issue, the Romans have little contact with anyone but rebels for a while.

    I do belive that in the next release Romani will be at war with Epirote and confronted with Pyrrhus in S.Italy. In the current game they´re at war with the Arverni but that doesn´t seem to activate any activity in N.Italy.

    Btw, has any work been done on formations? In my current game my "all hastati" army was deployed in a triangle. Haven´t seen that formation before.
