    I think most people want to play the old factions they already know and love first. That's how I interpret the results.
    It began on seven hills - an EB 1.1 Romani AAR with historical house-rules (now ceased)
    Heirs to Lysimachos - an EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR with semi-historical houserules (now ceased)
    Philetairos' Gift - a second EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR

    Nothing, I regard them as friends and highly admire the bravery of their warriors.
    But if they come to our lands to steal our livestock and womenfolk, or if they give way to punic and roman treachery they will know why we Lusitanii are the most feared people of Iberia!

    I didn't vote for them because I frankly don't know much about them. They're an unknown brand compared to the classic factions we know from EB1. When I go to the supermarket I usually buy Coca Cola, but I pick up an unknown soft drink brand only when I'm feeling particularly curious that day.

    Is it because of the epic bombast?

    I feel like an Arevaci campaign now. Hah!

    Absolutely must start with mighty Qart-Hadash. Beating the shit out of the Romans with Carthage fulfills one of my strongest historical fantasies.

    Funny you should say that, I'm doing that right now on EB1. I do it to keep the cravings down (its not working, its getting worse).

    I'm going to do a little bit of shameless self promotion here: check out my Sweboz AAR for EB2 (alas discontinued)

    I have been playing EB1 to death lately, and I keep discovering new things. When I reached Caledryn as the Aedui and found a certain "Cinaed" ruling there, I thought it might be a Latin inside joke.
    Cinaed is a real Celtic name however, so that might have been my dirty mind at work.

    That would be greek originally, not latin and does not work without the ending (-os latinized to -us)

    Nothing I'll vote for them, where are they ?

    But knowing myself I'll probably try 3 or 4 different factions for the first 48 hours before forcing myself to focus on one.

    Just like when I'm in a buffet. Except that I don't stay 48 hours in front of a cold buffet (or I have no memory of it).

    Part of me wants to play as the Romani, but all of those new factions are just so tempting to try...maybe I'll give the Pritanoi or Pergamon a swing.

    But, chances are I'm going to head straight for the Romans, I doubt that I will even be able to control my hand!

    Oh, and hi everyone, I'm new to the Org. I guess that's a thing, introducing yourself.

    Thanks, I guess it's about time I joined, since I'm among many people who have been checking these forums for years just waiting to see the next bit of news, and having something interesting to say every once and a while.

    You picked a good time to join up, welcome!
    No pressure, some of us don't have much interesting to say at all.

    Romani in the lead, it seems.
    It began on seven hills - an EB 1.1 Romani AAR with historical house-rules (now ceased)
    Heirs to Lysimachos - an EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR with semi-historical houserules (now ceased)
