Its funny in my current game Numida and Dacia did quite well, till I took out Dacia, Spain did get taken out, and the greek cities I took out, and selucid is still kicking, though he is a protectorate (same with spain last I heard) and Armenia is still kicking. Mind you, the battles are on easy because its my third campaign ever and the first two I got frustrated and wanted to play through to the point of unlocking the other factions (anyway to unlock ~all~ of them?) From what I've learned I probably expanded too quickly and relied too much on weak infantry such as town guard too much. Anyways.
