A little tip for the Julii: it's completely unnecessary to invade Egypt. They're hard to control because the pesky Egyptians always are, and their distance from your capital makes it even harder to control them. Also, Egypt is usually the most powerful faction (Romans aside), so invading them is a bad idea. Your troops would be eaten up by their multiple full stacks which pop up from time to time, all while the other families grow more powerful. Another problem is the Gauls, and the Senate missions.

thanks a lot tiberius. now that i think about it, it really would be unnecessary to invade egypt since you just need a certain number of provinces to win the game. and you can have that without attacking a single egyptian province.

on the other hand, my real reason for thinking about invading the land of the pharoahs was the challenge of going up against the game's strongest faction. the gauls were nothing but shirtless sissies.

the egyptians will probably crush my upstart legions, but at least i'll get to play with the big boys.
