    Default Which factions are doomed from the start when controlled by the AI?

    Yeah, yeah, I know the correct and motivational answer is 'all of them'

    But what I mean is, which AI-controlled factions do, from your experience, get their butts regularly kicked to oblivion by other AI factions sooner rather than later? I'm guessing Numidia, Dacia, Armenia and probably Spain, the Greek Cities and the Seleucids?

    The reason I'm asking is that I'd like to kick each faction out personally, so they'd better be still there when I get to them (and I'm a slow player, in more ways than one). So I'm planning to cheat and increase their starting funds to give them more of a chance against their stronger neighbours.

    And how much additional money would be reasonable for each of these factions? I wouldn't like to suddenly change them into superpowers, just make sure they survive enemy AI incursions in fairly decent shape.

    Please help a beginner RTW player out !

    Hmm, from my experience, the follow factions usually end up dead:

    Numidia
    Carthage
    Selucia
    Germania
    Gaul (sometimes)
    Greek Cities

    Those are the ones that I usually see "Faction Destroyed!" messages for when I didn't even come into contact with them.

    Also, why do you want to kill them all personally? Just for fun?

    Thanks!

    Yeah, I simply want to face all the different kinds of armies available on my way to world domination

    Any idea how much more money they'd need to survive somewhat longer? If I simply doubled their starting funds, would that be enough, or would that be overkill?

    If I were you, I'd tweak their starting armies instead. Starting money doesn't last very long.
