Best Faction for economic victory?

[juliancoleman2162]

I was thinking Athens?

[Spec]

I'd say for enconomic victory would be egypt, They have the ability to trade with medeterrainian factions and also to the red sea factions via their home port, they are the only faction that can trade in both seas. Say for example if your Rome and take over the Aegyptus province you can't trade from the sea port Myos Hormos with those factions that have ports in the red/arabiansea/perisan gulf.
They also get no cutural affinity debuffs which makes it much easier too establish friendly relations with/trade agrrements.
But then again i'm almost achieved economic victory as epirus in my current game which wasen't by choice but just how my conquest turned out.
