Hardest Roman faction

[Noir]

Just to add to the confusion: Julii overall - Carthage can be taken easily early on and after this Scipii coffers should be bending from the weight of gold - the Brutii early game is indeed hard as the Macedons/Greeks may provide resistance - however it is not more than the in-depth Gaulish resistance - or that of the Britons if they are steam rolling, and on top of this Greece makes you the richest faction in the game - while Gaul, Hispania and Germania give you barely a living.

The Julii have the most "interesting" post civil war start game IMO because of this, the other two factions can pretty much bribe their dominance after they beat the local challenge.

The Scipii can beat the Julii to Hispania and the Brutii to southern Greece at the same time after they conquer Carthage too, severely cutting them off - going into an offense against Egypt is not necessary for them.

Many Thanks
