    I don't think that Sabens has in history a mayor expansionism than Numidia, and with Numidia is possible more unit because in this case we have many historical resource, instead with Saba we have a lack of historical source.

    But for me numidia is more relevant in general for mediterranean-europe-east threaty.

    Hmmm, but without Numidia Carthage is too strong, we lose something and gained in other hand
