    Sweboz of course.
    Many surprisingly good units (at least for me),crappy economy, but that´s just fine with me. The only problem is that there reforms takes too much time, but apart from that, they are GREAT!

    Second place between Getai or Lusos.

    Definately Makedonia....




    Getai would be my favourite, those falxmen can cut through anything.

    The Romans =]

    Cheap infantry, large expansion regions, excellent starting economy. One of the best starting factions for beginners.

    Getai by far. Awesome starting position and amazingly cheap but effective units create a great campaign.

    Definately the Sweboz, having Germanic ancestors and them being great warriors does help with that.

    Actually I've just been reading it wasn't weird to the Germanics to form a Testudo like formation, the Shield castles. Which was used with assaults with other soldiers using them as platforms to assault the walls and with them charging into formation to break trough them. Good stuff.

    I'm not sure, if I have given a different answer to a similar question some time ago, but now I'd say either Casse or Sweboz.

    Among the Gauls I actually prefer the Averni, but that's only because the colours of the Aedui remind me to much of the hideous Vanilla-Gauls

    The Romans.

    They may not like to admit it, but those Romaioi are spreading Hellenistic culture..
