But the whole map wasn't conquered within 20 years by our factions. We don't want Pontos and the Getai and the Casse eating up all available territory in every game. Carthage would have all of western Africa within five years if it was an AI faction and had huge bonuses (and +8 is huge) vs. eleutheroi. Saba would cruise and in five years would have all of Arabia. Baktria would have its empire within ten. Same for Sweboz. This matter hasn't come up once inside the team that I can remember.
