    Actually, the only boring part of a Saba campaign is the endless battles and sallies against countless horribly imbalanced (as in: Phalanx only...) Ptolemaic and AS armies.

    By the way, Saba can recruit Galatikoi Kleruchoi, Indian Guild warriors, and three types of Elephants. And their version of Pantodapoi Phalangitai looks cooler to me than those of the other factions.

    You need lvl 4 regional MIC for Pilei Ya'ar Libim (the small ones) and lvl 5 regional MIC for Elephantes Liboukoi (the Bush Elephants). IIRC, Indian Elephants require lvl 4 regional MIC. Thus, Type IV government is probably the best for elephants.
    By the way, be careful when using the Elephantes Liboukoi. Although they are at least as powerful as the Indian Elephants, their morale is extremely low (4, which is less than half of that of Arab slingers). Fortunately, government types III and IV come with a +1 experience bonus for Saba.

    I honestly like Saba a lot, very challenging and a good starting position.

    Baktria has a very good endgame but the first couple of turns are very boring.

    Most boring faction to play:
    Sauromatae and Romani

    Sauromatae because of the huge distances between their settlements
    Romani: Because you're at 255B.C the Bill Gates of the ancient world and steamroll all faction with your moneyz.
