Numidia is an interesting faction with strong light troops and good light cavalry. They are strong in the early game. They get an excellent early skirmisher cavalry unit and along with medium cavalry support, however they have no late game heavy cavalry except for Generals Bodyguard. They get missile troops like Javelinmen and Archers before other factions, giving them an advantage with range. Their infantry is interesting, they get a good Spear unit and an imitation Legionary unit that is about as good as Principes. It is not the best infantry selection but it is decent enough. Numidia is sort of like barbarian factions in that their early roster is good but late game they will have trouble against the Romans.

One possible strategy with Numidia is to try hard and conquer Carthage early in game so you can make some money. Siwa should be left to Egypt as there is no point in trying to keep it as an isolated outpost from your empire. Build better barracks as soon as possible because only Numidian legionaries are decent soldiers in Numidia. For missile support you can use javelinmen as they are good against elephants and can engage in melee as well.
