What do you think is the easiest faction?

[Copperhaired Berserker!]

So what do you think? I think Baktria is the easiest. Brilliant troops, good economy (sp?) and a brilliant starting point.

Edit: You need to add Baktria. I thought something was missing. And for the last 5 options, I was seriously bored. YOU KNOW? Sorry.

Obviously "I'm the Bacon Man" should serve as the "Baktria" option. :grin:

[PantsToucher]

Voted for the hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr option.

[Mujalumbo]

Ptolemaioi.

I'm forty or so years into my campaign. Money is no object. I'm fighting the Seleucids and Karthadistim, AND I can't spend my money fast enough.

[Trithemius]

Only played Rome. ;)

Makedonia ... conquer all of Hellas, develop economy and just Pella makes you 20k per turn. I keep funding the Seleukids by giving them some 250k every now and then.

[Krusader]

Ptolemaioi. Money flows into your coffers and no need to disband units. Also didn't take long time to upgrade the MICs. Almost from getgo I had Pezhetairoi and Thureophoroi.

Definately Ptolemaioi, though I never played Romani. The Ptolemaioi start out being able to train Pezhetairoi, and are only 10 turns away from Kleruchoi Agemata. I think by about 30 or so turns into the game, I had 6 full stacks, 6 units of ships, 5 or so million mnai, and all of Asia Minor, Arabia, and Egypt down to Axum conquered, and had pushed the Seleucids out of Seleukia to the other side of the mountains. Easy stuff!

i voted fat, cause i am lol
yeah ptolemaioi, bactria

yeuzhi are really hard if you want a challenge

[PseRamesses]

Romani got my vote although Makedon and Koinon Hellenon are easy and have strong economies too. Next up have to be Ptolemy, Seleukids and Karthage.
Suprisingly no votes for Sweboz. I´ve just played once but you can easily expand into some 20 provinces without countering any serious opposition.

i think that macedon is pretty easy

i just combine my armys and blitz KH and epirus, i usually can get athens sparta, epirus, and illirya_hellenike, with the starting forces. by then I'm usually out of the red if I disbanded the fleet


romans coming in a close second, only because they are easy but the way i play I don't blitz with them. now with macedon it's a race to egypt so i play a little differently :)

I dunno about you guys, but when I'm drunk I've got better things to do...like staring at my hands...
