![]() (Honorable mention to the SPQR who get stronger versions of standard units, but only a single army) Scipii in the middle, Brutii is the strongest. In sheer combat power/value of units: Julii because they gain nothing of value from temples. ![]() and they always seem to conquer half of the map if an AI controls them. But the Brutii wins out with the wonders it can take in Greece very early. Both have great starting positions and the Scipii can rush for Egypt effectively. I have to say that the Scipii and the Brutii are almost equal. especially since its one of the few things different between the factions. That is why i believe taking the power of the starting positions into account is important. Most people follow the senate missions, Mainly for additional cash and senate positions. so i don't think they are relevant in this context. while technically a Roman faction, they are not playable in the default game. And the ai definitely still has problems invading over water so that probably contributed to their idleness. In my recent Brutii campaign the Julii managed to take southern Gaul and all of Spain, while the Scipii just sat around twiddling their thumbs because they were too scared to fight Carthage's mighty army of 20 skirmishers and some elephant at Lilybaeum. For instance in my Julii campaigns I like to rush for Greece and Carthage before the other roman factions get there, which makes starting positions obsolete. But really the strongest is whichever one is being played by the player (obviously). Originally posted by I speak for the Trees:In order from weakest to strongest: Senate, Julii, Scipii, Brutii. ![]() There is simply nothing the Julii does better. The Brutii has a cake walk in Greece as well and can take over wealthy and developed settlements over there and has access to a couple of wonders that sit close by in both Greece and Anatolia.īesides the Julii being the best looking faction (Roman Red FTW) they are just weaker compared to the other Roman factions. In contrast the Scipii can take over the rich regions of Carthage and after that just push straigth for Egypt to become a Economic powerhouse. Which you grab pretty early with the other Roman factions. Which as a region overall is still less wealthy then Greece or North Africa. The only half decent territory the Julii can expand into in the Mid-game is Spain. They also have no easy to reach wonders at the start. causing you to have a weaker early game economy overall compared to the other Roman factions. They have by far the weakest starting position.My argument for this is that the senate missions forces them to take over Gaul first, which compared to other areas like Greece and North Africa has settlements that are relatively poor. So i wanted to start a discussion about which of the three Roman factions is actually the weakest.
