Okay normally I like to play 'Greekish' Factions such as The City-States, Successor Kingdoms, and Armenia, also some Persian/Indian but lately I've started looking at Barbarians. To be specific the Illyrians/Dacians/Thracians and Galatia problem is, I keep Dying.
Illyria invaded by Carthage/Rome/Epirus all at once and unable to fight them all back, managing to give them a good bloody nose though.
Dacians, same problem but with Nomads and Thracians Tag Teaming me, I manage better before being wiped out
Thrace, same problem but with Dacians, Bosphorians, The Pontus And Macedonians I get Conquered but I Took Down An Army from each all attacking at my capital
Galatia, I get Destroyed by everyone Around me.
I don't know how to play barbarians and I would Like some Early game help with these factions, Please?
