Who were the roman republic's worst enemies?

[Βελισάριος]

Rome's worst enemy was, without a doubt, Rome itself.

The so-called "barbarian invasions" that lead to the utter demise of the [Western] Roman Empire were only a coup de grace delivered to a dying and decaying empire.

I agree. But i want to point out that many historians says there was no fall of Roman Empire only a change. The date of the fall is also hugely controversial. Other then that hundreds of of internal and external factors cause the fall of the greatset empire ever. Nevertheless it stood until 1453, being the western civilization it´s legacy.

So, what would you put ingame as hypothetical triple alliance against Rome (meaning powers that would not consider fighting each other before the romans are destroyed)? Please consider that there is nor Epirus or Numidia in XGM and by Gauls I mean the XGM equivalent of the Aedui.

Here are some possible choices:

Carthage - Gauls - Germans
Carthage - Gauls - Iberians
Carthage - Gauls - Pontus
Carthage - Gauls - Parthia
Carthage - Gauls - one of the Diadochii
Carthage - Pontus - Parthia (even though this would mean goodbye AI Seleucids)
Carthage - Macedonia - Seleucids (this actually is a plausible choice as these powers had good relationships to each other, practically allies imho)

Carthage - Gauls - one of the Diadochii

I would go for : "Carthage - Gauls - Pontus".

But for game playing reasons "Carthage - Gauls - one of the Diadochii" might be better.

[Zarax]

Well, Pontus is one half-diadochii anyway, their roster is right there.

There was a fall. Western communications and trade collapsed.
Also, technically the empire didn't properly fall until the death of the Czar of russia, Depending on how you measure the empire.

I do believe there was a fall but i´m just pointing out that there´re some who believe it did not fall or that the correct date is not 476. As for communication and trade, i think we can agree that at 476 the situation was extremely poor, in fact sea trade was completely controled by the Vandals.

You´re right about this. My apologies

You mean Czar Simeon II of Bulgaria if we're to get technical.
