First game questions

[TheCheeseMaster]

Im midway though my first game with Carthage. I have control over southern Iberia, parts of Britannia and Africa (.cept Egypt). But i have some questions.

1. My technology is doing poor, Im only at level 1 in most but the AI is doing great at 3s/4s. how can i improve?

2. I dont understand the factions thing. Does it matter which faction rules the country?

3. Any tips on defeating rome?

HALT!

Before you do anything else, read Cheexta's Unofficial Strategy Guide for Republics, which you will find stickied at the top of the Rome forum.

Then if you still have questions, ask again.
