Why not Persians? Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Why do you think that Persians aren't playable?

They have as good defensive unit (Medians) as others and they can attack with siege engines.
I have played Romans and Persians are a HUGE superpower with about six medians in every city, at least, and almost no squares without units. They even had about 60 000 gold until I conquered one of their cities. I got -27 000 gold and they lost 27 000 too! After that I had -19000, but I let them take the city back and they got my -19 000.

Still think they aren't playable?

I don't think it's CIV II because you can't accumulate 60000 Gold.

Put an end to popups!

If my inane theory is correct, he's talking about Imperium Romanum (Forgive m Bernd for botching the name).

I also have this feeling, but I´ll wait for Jusbaummer´s clarification before I post the answer...

Full PM-box? Change here!

I've also been playing Imperium Romanum and I can honestly say that the Macedonians are the biggest power, being much more powerful than the Persians. I'm Phoenician and only my siege towers can beat them. And while I was messing around with the Romans, the Macedonians already conquered most of persia and the Middle East.

And this is exactly what they should do .

Macedonia is very weak in the beginning, but AI Macedonians receive a lot of support via events so that they are able to get at least a part of Alexander´s empire. Unfortunately it does not always work so well as in your case, sometimes Persia is able to resist...
However, human controlled Macedonians have a much harder life.

Suffering from ads?

You'll get enough opportunity to say THAT when my new Alexander scenario comes out
