which country/empire do you hate?

[aw89]

which country/empire do you hate?
i HATE the macedon's so much! i mean hate! (i play as the Brutii)
i see some hate the gauls here too and just wondered if you really hate them?

i hate the macedon's so much i am on a mission to destroy them, haven't declared war on anyone because the macedon's weren't dead yet. i AM going to destroy them, if it wasn't for the nasty gaul's attacking me! but i don't hate them, just a little annoyed.

[moksha]

I'm playing as Seleucid-my biggest antipathy was for the Egyptians as they caused the most trouble at the start. With them gone I dislike the Brutii who seem to resent my efforts at liberating Greece.

[Despot of the English]

I'm constantly irritated by the Gauls. I hated them as the Roman Julii and I hate them just as much being the Germans. Plus they start with a huge empire! They also never know when they're beaten and keep on coming.

[aw89]

so are the macedon's, 2 city's left 1 über army one square away, give me the city, or i will attack and ceasefire. answer no! they had 2 SMALL units in the city! but, give them what they ask for! muhahahahhahah! :charge:

[TopHatJones]

I hate Dacia. I don't know why....I just do.

[Divico]

I'm in my first faction-unlocking campaign the Gauls are a bit irritating. That's why I love them. They help my generals collecting stars and it's the next faction I really want to play.

[Sociopsychoactive]

I hate the senate, and I normally play roman.

It just annoys me that no matter what I do the senate hate me, no matter how much brown nosing I still get forced to kill them, gits. I think I'll start a campaign as the gauls or germans and kill them early on.

[Zed]

Hate macedonians when I play romans because of all their horses.

[Boudicca]

I hate Romans...really can't imagine why...

Perhaps someone should have called the game: Brittania, total war...

[TheShireReeve]

I'm becoming increasingly fed up with Thrace in my current game. They hold byzantium and the areas to the north of it, which is a nasty eysore between my nice green territories in Greece and Asia Minor. They also seem to keep beating me to the territories to the north of the Black Sea as well, foiling my plan to encircle them. I have the trrops to crush them, but the senate wont let me off the leash. I was just gearing up to destroy them anyway, when the Egyptians jumped me, so have to put up with their presence a while longer while I relocate my troops.

[lismore]

Dont like Carthage- they slaughter babies in their temples and use smelly big elephants :furious3:

[Armchair Athlete]

I hate Egypt. They always dominate and start churning out hordes of ships. Luckily the AI doesn't keep up constant blockades.

[Krusader]

I hate Egypt. They churn out troops after troops, and some units are a bit overpowered!!!

Macedon can be irritating with their cavalry as well

[TinCow]

I'll give you one guess which faction I hate the most.

If you have the troops to conquer thrace do it. If you sit around waiting for senatorial approval for your conquests you'll be waiting a long time. You don't lose points with the senate for independent conquests it gets you in good with the plebs.

Egypt, cept when playing them then parthia.

[Kekkonen]

Carthaginians. Sure, it's easy to be smug when you're on top of a war elephant, but come down from there and fight mano-a-mano and we'll see who's who. Bastards...

Yeah, and the girly Greeks with their long pointy sticks stink too.

[aw89]

I'll give you one guess which faction I hate the most.

oh, oh, oh! its the britons right?!?! ~;)

[Anselm]

I hate the spanish. They must all be killed.

[Doug-Thompson]

The latest faction that backstabbed me when we had an alliance.

[BDC]

Hate macedonians when I play romans because of all their horses.
Merc Hoplites sort them out. :)

[aw89]

but you can forget about attacking then! its my strategy not to attack but thats a huge disadvantage!

[Kekkonen]

The best way to deal with Macedonians: take them out ASAP. Sure, they've got nice horsies, but if you move in early enough, you can just overwhelm them with numbers. Phalanxes are available anywhere in Greece, and picking up a couple of archer mercs at Crete helps too.

[Spartiate]

I HATE the Egyptians.........absolutely hate them.B$%&*^ds all.I play as Carthage and luckily they left me alone while i picked off the Roman factions one by one but now that i'm in their territory i just want to smash the pc screen.
I find the battles against the ridiculously over-powered chariots and axemen to be among the most hateful things i have ever endured.These battles are just no fun.I had 2 units of sacred band infantry struggle to cope with one axemen unit the other evening.The regularity with which the Eggys' can pump out armies is dismaying also.
Don't get me wrong................i can beat them and nearly always do but i just don't enjoy the battles but daren't auto-calc them. :furious3:

[Lonewarrior]

Arrrg none so far. ~:)

[ZIM!!]

I hate any faction that attacks my Navy 500 times every turn , sheesh cant you just do 1 big attack instead of attacking my 1 fleet with 50 individual ships?? did they make aircraft carriers back then?? I need one

[Tamur]

Well, as Yoda would say...

"I sense much fear in [this thread]" ~D

The Spanish drive me crazy with their very large trade profit margin. That and their saffron, I can't stand it when people try selling me saffron at 500d an ounce...

[Shottie]

I dont like the Roman factions, they are always trying to keep peace with everyone and wont let me take over any near them without a fight....its kinda sounds like the US lol

[Theodoret]

I hate the Egyptians, with their stupid King Tut headresses, arrow-proof bare-chested axemen and annoying chariots. I hate the way their citizens breed like flies. I especially hate the way they backstab anyone and everyone. I even hated the Egyptians when I played as them.

[OctavianAugustus]

i dislike those gauls much.... mad and hairy beyond belief....

and guy who said the egyptian axemen are "overpowered"
dude....you obviously have never played Medieval tw?? or what?

Axemen are built to destroy armoured units!!!
Your choson swordsmen are easy targets for axemen becuase they are armoured!

axemen kill armor
calvary kill axemen

its true

i used one unit of calvary to trample a unit of axemen
one horsie died and all the axemen now have graves littered in a line down the field....
axemen are so overpowered arent they? ~:confused:

[Warhammer]

I gotta go with the Gauls. It burns me up fighting them in forests when you cannot get the big picture and while I am sending one flank forward, they are crushing my other flank with a cav. charge. :charge:

[Ichiro1234]

Romans, any house senate, any place there is rome it must be burned! they enslave me i enslave them after and just massacre the big cities with all the rich guys in villas, why don't they put the big coward shield down and take my Chosen Swordsman mano e mano!!!!!!!!

[Attalus]

Spaniards. What good were they? My first contact with them came from a Spanish Diplomat during my Julii campaign. He demanded the provision of 10K Denari or they would attack.
My response was the sack of Osca...and crucifixes are far as the eye could see.

I then asked the Spanish Diplomat if he cared to re-phrase his request.

He demanded the return of Osca, 10K and my firstborn progeny. Or they would attack.

Perplexed, I roamed the Iberian penninsula looking for the thermonuclear device I assumed they had...

Now Spain is green and the fields are ripe...harvest are abundant.

It's the dung I used for fertiliser, you see.....

They sort of irritated me during MTW as well, and suspect they had something to do with the loss of my most recent taisho in IGA province as well

-Attalus-
Fool me one...shame on you
Fool me twice...prepare to die

[DisruptorX]

I hate everything about the Egyptians. From their stupid chariots, to their over sized horsemen units, to their over sized archer units. I especially hate the ridiculous "pharoh" headdresses they wear. ~:confused: What the hell?

[Bhruic]

I hate the Julii. If I play any of the western factions (barring Roman ones of course), they always seem to head straight for me. Playing Carthage? Check. Playing Spain? Check. Playing Macedon? Check. The annoying thing is that in the Carthage game, do they attack Spain or Macedon? Nope. Ditto for rearranging the other factions. I'm not sure if I have a big red bullseye on my back or what, but that's one of the reasons I like playing the eastern factions, the Julii are far enough away to not annoy me.

Bh

[Krusader]

Seeing Bhruic's post I have to agree with hating the Julii.

Its a bit fun when playing them in the beginning, but you only face Barbarians...so pah!!!

But they are more annoying when AI handles them. They are constantly attacking Caralis, and Carthage defends it well. While the Gauls get stronger and stronger, and when Julii attack the Gauls, they remain in north ITaly fighting them.

[Silver Rusher]

I absolutely HATE the MACEDONIANS!!! It seems like they backstab me whoever I play as, I'm really sick of them.

[Khuyildar]

I hate the Germans.

They always spook me, when they approach from their forests with huge stacks of troops, which I thought they never could afford to train.

[Spartakus]

Hate? Hard to say, the Gauls may be mad and hairy beyond reason, as well as a constant pain in the neck (playing Julii). Yet still I don't hate them, they're quite an entertaining diversion from citybuilding and stupid Senate missions. The Germans are constantly on me, too, but they're really not dangerous enough for me to hate them.

To put it short: I hate the factions that give me trouble. And so far, that has not really happened. Unlike when I'm playing as France in MTW, then I hate everyone.

If anyone: the Senate. When you spend all summer blockading some port, and then get a pack of dogs as reward...bleh.

[Tricky Lady]

I really hate the Gauls. I prefer to play the Romans and those Gauls keep on appearing everywhere. In my current Brutii campaign the Julii didn't attack them with a reasonable force until around 240BC. Of course the Gauls keep on sending full stack after full stack to Northern Italy. Grrrr they even found the time to invade my lands in present-day Croatia...aaargh.
The Macedonians are definately on the second spot. They backstab me when I played the Julii and they just irritated me when I played the Brutii :wink2:

[Midnight]

I hate the Egyptians. They breed at a ferocious rate, some of them have skins of iron, they have the hideously irritating chariots, and they seem absolutely incapable of keeping an alliance. "Yes, we'll gladly be your ally, trade agreements sound good, let's share map information," they'll say, then they'll send a full army steaming towards Siwa.

I also hate the Carthaginians, because they're incapable of even putting a dent in the growing Roman Empire. Where's Hannibal when you really need him?

[Sin Qua Non]

SPQR.

Who wouldn't hate a bunch of stuffed togas whom can never ever ever even pretend to be pleased by your existence?

Oh, pay you several thousand denari and kill myself, you say? Yeah, I'll get right on it.

[Darth Binky]

GO SOX ALL THE WAY IN 04 WOOT
Word.

As any non-Roman faction, I dislike the Roman factions. They are way good, and can be tough to beat. I make a policy of conquering Italy as quickly as possible, to prevent them from ever reaching the Marian Reforms.

As the Romans, I dislike the Egyptians. They always take over the Mid-East, and give me a hard time. They must die!

[KillerKadugen]

The Macedonians annoyed me greatly, but they really kept the Thracians and Dacians in check. Now, as the Brutii, I have eliminated the Macedonians and have found the Thracians to be annoying pieces of trash who managed to get over into Asia Minor and survive my conquering of East Europe. The war to eliminate them and their :furious3: falxmen took forEVER.

So now I hate Thrace.

[aw89]

in my game the julii haven't captured a single terretori in 19X BC! it's horrible! so now i have to choose a shaky peace with the "english" OR going to war with the tyrkey people, hmmm, risk flanking delux or shaky peace...

[soibean]

well lets see... playing as the Carthaginians Id have to say I hate the Spanish/Gauls/Greeks/and all 3 families plus the SPQR of rome
oh and Numidia can be annoying as well

Ive restarted the campaign 3 times now and each time I begin and try to get trade Spain attacks me, allies with gaul so they attack me, then all of rome gets pissed and sends men against me, Greece goes against the alliance and massacres my men and then there is Numidia which is just there to throw spears every now and then.

[Reddog]

I hate all the factions i must destroy to win. But i really hate the egyptians and there chariots.

[Pomerium]

It does seem to revolve around what faction I am playing at the time. rebels, they just seem to annoy and interupt trade.

[Salazar]

I absolutely hate the Britons!!!
Why? Because when i played the Germans first Time they managed not only to hold Samarobriva but even sacked a City of mine and completely crushed my Plans to overrun Gaul because i needed every single Man in Belgium without winning anything. Finally both Romans and Scythians attacked me and totally crushed my empire :furious3: :furious3: :furious3:

[MadKow]

When i play Romans i hate the most the 2 other Houses. Those incompetent slackers manage to always get the favors of the senate and what do they show for it? How can they compare their puny acomplishments with the endless stream of slaves and land i give back to Rome. But i'll show them...

Now when not in that role, i just hate backstabing "allies". The price for that is total anihilation.

[solypsist]

when i'm not playing as the romans, i really hate them
when i'm playing as one of the romans, the senate is my enemy

[lismore]

The Gaul forresters with noble cavalry and chosen swordsmen suddenly springing an ambush can be devastating. When they upgrade missiles using the shrine of abdonba they can cause 50% casualties to hastatii before you know they're there. The moral of the story is: take out Gaul quick when you play the Julii.

[aluenser]

That's definately got to be Thrace.
Instead of fighting like men, they keep on bribing my provinces.
I bashed 'em as punishment.

[Maltz]

I hate Spanish diplomats. There are so many of them (last time I see 10+ standing around their last city) and they always try to bribe away my diplomat. :furious3:

Anything too powerful is disgusting, too. I enjoy burning down Egyptian towns because under AI control, their population was so high and didn't need to suffer from revolt. :furious3:

[eeyoredragon]

I hate the Senate compassionately. No explanation needed, me thinks.

The Egypts should suffer as well. Theodoret said it best.

In my current game as Scipii I begin to hate GCS. They have 11595203.5235235^124 stacks of single ships around the place.

The Numidians are bastards as well. When you play as them you can't afford a chewing gum, but when the AI handles them they send massive stacks of both land units and sea units (most of the time called "boats" or "ships"). Where do they get the money from? It truly is a mystery. They also backstab everyone without any sort of sense.

But most of all I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE the roman voice acting (I can stand the other. Okay they're horrific as well, but the Romans take the price):

VICTOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
The daaay is OOWWUUUUUUUUURSsssssssssssss!!!

:hide:

[footman]

god i hate gauls...i found their words mean alittle like fart....

they break the treaty just after the round ...scam my money ...aggresive....no self-control.....fuking nuts....i have to burn up their villages ...kill up their people put em into slaves................

i broke gaul capital and slained the gaul king.....they wouldnt listen to me as well

so does other savage factions.....all they want is military bash !

[LestaT]

Hate is a strong word.

Har HAr Har... anyway, where can I get again those kewl Sarmartian Horse WArriors ? I forgot where I hired those cavalry but they're strong ? Since I haven't finished my Julii campaign I'm not sure if there's any faction produce them?

[Jonny Dangerously]

I hate everything about the Egyptians. From their stupid chariots, to their over sized horsemen units, to their over sized archer units. I especially hate the ridiculous "pharoh" headdresses they wear. ~:confused: What the hell?

I personally love to meet any and all of the barbarian races on the battlefield. But most of all, I can't stand the Egyptians. They are untrustworthy, weird looking and overambitious. It makes my day watching their odd looking army scamper across the sand towards my large battery of onagers. It's better than TV.

[Vikings]

Me? i say the most faction i hated the most are the Senates, why becuz all they do is talk and backstab you later on.

Once in awhile they give you orders if you play one of three Roman's Houses, but still kinda annoying when giving orders that doesnt make sense or way out of line.

There alway troubles in ROME no matter what. That why someone need to be strong and understand politicians. But no matter what someone or something else will always trying to turn things around into a different matter, and that suck.

One time i played Julii's Faction, then one day i got tired of BS coming from ROME (Senate Missions) that doesnt require or should be ignored. Well after it got seriously strange, i knew something may happen later on so i pumped alot of WarDogs as well descent infantries for the upcoming battle.

Dogs of War just started, i must have at least 1500+ Wardogs for reserved (over 30 units). Slowing eating them away then finally i claim ROME!

Now im happy, no more bitching from ROME! Just need peace and quite for now.

-Vikings

[Grumfoss]

Me I hate......Hmmm difficult one I think that every race has the ability to be a pain in the ass. But if I had to choose I think for me it would be the spanish, Closely folowed by the Macedonians, both these have attacked me without any provication ( I'm Playing the Julli - first Camp. ~:) ) They will pay however as soon as my Legions take their cities MUhahaha.. ~;) )

[Throb]

Those Egyptians can be a bit off a pain, trade rights, map sharing, got on with smashing gaul and wallop they attack every ship I have with a ratio of at least 8-1 ! the horrors !

[Rayaleh]

I freaking detest the Greeks...heck if their cities weren't so profitable to keep, I'd slaughter them all and exterminate every single one of them just to make sure they don't come back later on and contaminate the purity of the Brutii bloodline (and their subjects) with their detesbable ways.


I conquer the Greek peninsula and what do I found out, THEY HAVE FREAKING SETTLEMENTS on the other side of the sea and a BLOODY ISLAND, FOR FUCK SAKE!!!

Plus they have huge fleets, I mean I have to wait literally years just to build up a fleet of trireme to crush their puny 20-ships(ish) fleet of biremes...and what do I find out, NEXT FUCKING TURN THEY HAVE ANOTHER BUILT UP, AND ANOTHER ONE....FOR FUCK SAKE...DIE MOTHERFUCKERS....DIE...PAINFULLY....AND TAKE ALL YOUR FAMILY....AND THEIR FAMILY...AND THEIR SLAVES....AND THEIR SLAVES' FAMILY.....AND THEIR SLAVE'S FAMILY'S DOGS....AND THEIR SLAVES' FAMILIES' DOGS' FAMILIES....DIE....GENOCIDE FOR YOU!!!

[Throb]

Rayaleh, so I take it your not over keen on the Greeks then. lol

I'm finding the Brits to be a bit of a pain now and the Spannish, think I'll crush Spain 1st, nice and warm down there, then I'll attack those Blue painted neaked weirdo's !

[jerby]

egypt sucks. They only held one province, I held 30 and they wanted me to be a protectoratet! how foolish could you possibly be!

[Medieval Assassin]

You might want to watch the language, its a PG-13 board...

[Alphidius]

Playing as the Julii, so it's Germania ~;) after years of trade agreement with them

[Zorn]

I dislike every faction that uses bows overly.
Especially if they are horse/charriot archers.
I have never much cavallery in my armies, so I never do very well vs HA.
In generall, I don`t play in the east at all. Barbarian infantery-battles are much more fun for me.

[Barbarian King]

I would have to say that i hate eygpt. They always declare war on me even if we are allies. The one thing i like about them is that they make a challeging foe.

[drone]

If playing a Roman faction, it's got to be the other Romans. They are worthless allies (except for trade) in the early game, and the Senate always wants you to bail them out (don't know how many times I've been told to blockade Sparta as Julii). You have to be careful because they will leave your backside unprotected. The only advantage is that you know you will eventually get to crush them ~D

[Maedhros]

egyptian chariots can be bogged down with the right attack, and they react very badly to accurate archery fire.

I've leveled many a high king from his chariot with a lowly slinger.

when you have them running. keep shooting.

[Hold Steady]

me too

[Rurik the Chieftain]

LOL nice misquotation Tamur! I dont really hate any faction, but any faction that begins to abuse elephants make me irrationally angry. Like a frightened chimpanzee.~:mad:

[Byzantine Prince]

Well I hate factions that send waves after waves of armies like the Gauls. The Gauls always expand the most. I usually play as the Greeks or Macedon(because Im greek,lol) and I usually find Romans to be pretty easy to beat. They can't even come close to my troops because of the sarissa.

I also hate Numidians. Those damn assholes always attack Cyrene and just don't stop.

[MoROmeTe]

i hate the parthians as they seem to over do it with archers and especially mounted ones. i myself am a infantry head on kinda guy.
and i also hate the faction(s) that the guy(s) that say they hate dacia are playing. cause, you know, i'm a dacian
