    Scippi from what I've played.
    By the time your done conquering all you can most of your allys will have taken most of the non roman territitory and your armies will be spread to the far corners of the map. The eygptians will be coming at you full force from the south.When civil war starts your main production centers are nowhere near combat.

    The Julii can be hard. Gaul does not provide too much revenue and the emnity and the Britons and Germans is likely. Playing as the Julii I try to take the Africans provinces. It keeps the Scipii small in size.

    All the roman factions are easy to play with so it's quite hard to pick out one as the hardest, but i would have to say the brutii. The reason for this is the are the only faction that faces a credible military early on, though once you have a foothold in greece its plain sailing.

    I would say the Julii and scipii are tied for probably the easiest campaigns in the game with the possible exception of egypt. Both face armies of very poor troops which are easily routed from the field. Although the Gallic and Germanic lands may not provide as much money to the julii they do have easy access to spain early on which is a pretty profitable province to own.

    scipii or juli. first, the best when it comes for military and sea but after defeating cartage they lose guidance from senate and must plan on their own. Second , weakest of that three when it come to military, poor provinces to conquer and lot of fighting.

    Now, I've tried the brutii very little, but I'm going with the Julii.

    I'm a relatively good payer and all, but the barbarians....


    Arrgh, I'm like a real Roman! Being so organized all the time actually caused them to be somewhat afraid of things chaotic. Ergo, barbarians.

    I rather enjoyed my Julii campaigns the most.
    My very first one, I had very little revenue on VH/VH going through Gaul. It took me a long time to conquer the province, but it was challenging and I really enjoyed it.

    The second campaign i ever did with the Julii was different in that I loaded all my troops on them barges and sailed up to Greece and its riches. I prevented my fellow romans from getting those riches and managed to defeat the Greeks by siding with the Macedonians. And then eradicated the Macedonian armies...
    with the money you get from that part of the world, your conquests are a lot easier from then on.

    I never really enjoyed playing the Brutii.
    I found the Scippii too easy.
