This mod is just unplayable just on normal.
Trying to play as Rome with this mod is ridiculous. I can't even build a competent army and between Epieros to the south and Etruria to the north, turn 8-10 and I'm already smashed back to only hold Rome. WTF kind if ridiculous ♥♥♥♥ is this?? They come at me with multiple full armies all over and I can't even do anything. GG

Its just because you are new player to DeI, in time you will be playing on Hard, saying its too easy.
You need to learn new stuff, in addition Rome is not easy starting faction. Rome has easiest mid/late game BUT one of hardest starts.

Try submod I made for new players, you will have a bit easier start before stuff start to happen:

This mod is built to be more realistic look at Rome early republic and you will see smashed armies left and right. It is extremely accurate in that regard.

Kinda of figured it out. Basically 1st turn you have to combine your armies and go take Taras as to cut off Epeiros and then at the same time build an army in Rome to go north and kill the Estrucians. Also engage in politics and trade to make foreign nations kind of happy with you before they all go to war. Finally have things under control lol

Try reading my guide, there's a suggestion on how to deal with Pyrrhus' army in Taras. It's not the only way, several other strategies to defeat them. But it works and all but guarantees you wont lose any characters in a battle defeat. Epeiros just have that small army in Taras, and they can't recruit units very fast, while Rome can get 6 very strong units per turn in Roma. Rome faction is only tough in the beginning to defeat Epeiros because you don't know what to do, but once you figure it out it becomes a walk in the park.

Rebellions are not so bad as you might think. It's really just another battle for you to farm xp, slaves and loyalty from. In almost all my playthroughs I like to own crappy little frontier settlements where I max out the negative PO maluses so that I can get as many rebellions there as possible.

No, that's exactly what it is not. In DEI there are many valid approaches to strategy and tactics. There's not one strategy that you MUST do to git gud. Truly, I ♥♥♥♥ you not, you can focus on a whole bunch of different stuff that all will result in very powerful effects, but in different ways; and only actually powerful if you understand and know how to apply.

I thought so at first too. The mod is more complicated than you think. From the very beginning you need to have a strategy for each turn. From the first turn you have to make diplomatic agreements, use advisors and spies. Watch the guides on how to get started, you will understand over time. Don't criticize something you don't understand.
Diplomacy is key bud when playing as Rome, the fight with Cathage is a beast for example and will take you on different continents.

You cant fight so many wars on different fronts - befriend via diplomacy is key :)!

With Rome, it was easy for me... took over the world!
Such a OP army...

I thought so at first too. So I decided to play and figure it out. You will understand over time. Don't draw conclusions on a game you don't understand (without guides).
