More or less the same thing happened while I'm playing as Zenobia on Legendary as it did playing as Octavian. Marc Antony got sandwiched by myself and Pompey in that campaign; whomever the historical leader is got sandwiched in my Zenobia campaign. In both campaigns, they were pushovers; the final Rome then declared war on me, but by then I'd already gotten so huge that it's too late for them to stop me and my doomstacks/economy
Well as weak as Pompey's starting position is I figured it would be a challenge. The only challenge was the weak economy forcing me to rely on the spear infantry early in the game.
