IF you keep focussing on economy you'll quickly be able to do as you please. The only difficulty about Saba is that they don't have native cavalry and relatively light units when you face hellenistic factions or the cavalry rich nabataeans. But with some expanding you'll be able to recruit cavalry yourself and mercenaries can help with battling the heavier troops. In the future their elite unit will also give their armies more oomph, but first we still have to make that one.
