What do you want?

I do have a hard time playing as factions with no historical past,EX:Armenians in rome total war,

I voted for history because having different factions at different difficulty is what makes the game fun, if they were all the same it would be boring. As for multiplayer all games are like this, on football games everyone picks the best teams, on FPSs everyone picks the best gun so why can't everyone have the best faction on multiplayer? An what's wrong with unbalance anyway? Everything in life is unbalanced.

Although I cannot vote, I would say that although a game is a game there is something wrong if Spain can defeat Rome, wrong if Rome is dominated by Pontus. As Rome it should be easy, as Spain/Pontus it should be really hard.

The factions should start by holding historic settlements, historic troop numbers (even if graphics have to be reduced to accommodate them) and from there fate is made.
