Rome Total War Scythia
Well, the RTW is quite hard, I think.Some stories why:-When you play with Carthage, Greek Cities (Greece), Seleucids, Others, it is very hard to defeat a Roman House or conquer whole Rome.-When you play with Rome, and you conquered the half known-world, Egypt will be you greatest enemy.-When you play with Egypt, and you conquered the middle-east, Rome will be your greatest enemy.btw: Like in Medieval 2 Total War: I played with the Scottish, the pope called Crusade in the 67th - 70th turns, I went to Jerusalem, and I saw, that the Mongols conquered the whole middle-east! I couldn't do anything. They attacked me!
Quick Comment on the Scythians (of Scythian Sword fame a favorite of blood thirsty ancient gamers) the Scythian empire was larger than the Parthians and extended east to the Himalayan mountains but they are relatively a small presence on the campaign map.

Rome Total War Pontus
Well, that's because the Romans in vanilla RTW are ridiculously overpowered. They were good IRL, but not that good. A good mod will make them a much more reasonable faction.As for the Egyptians, it's not easy to capture a lot of their weaknesses in a game. First, you need to make the Upper Nile more likely to revolt. Second, you need to make them face unrest if they start to recruit native (machimoi) phalangites, like after Raphia.
Third, you need to replicate their lack of Hellenes relative to the other Diadochi. I think I'm making good progress on those fronts, but it's not at all easy to code. Any suggestions, especially on point 3, would be appreciated. (I think I've got 1 and 2 figured out.).
