Most Liked Faction

I've always wanted to know what, and play the most liked faction.(including elutheroi exept i can't play them.


Note: You can vote for only 1. It was by acciddent that i put multiple choice. Plz. don't take advantage of this mistake.

Romani and Eperios for me.

I go for Koinon Hellenon and Makedonia. I love western Greeks, Epeiros would be my third choice, but I don't like it as much as the first two. Ceterum censeo Romam esse delendam.

Casse, Getai, Saromatae, and Pontus

Romani and Arche seluekia for me.

Romani - good for alternative history role-playing, central position, varied enemies, varied fighting styles thanks to allied part of your legions while keeping particular faction character thanks to uniform roman core units. :rtwyes:
Best enjoyed when played semi-historically.:2cents:

Pontos - starting with just one province makes a good empire-building game, diverse unit roster enabling fielding several distinct armies: Persian, Galatian, Greek, Thracian, etc. Steady challenge throughout the game. :2thumbsup:
Best enjoyed when role-played as alliance of several independent factions.:2cents:

Pahlava - excellent concept of transforming nomad faction into real empire, lot of fun managing the tight budget during the first half of the game, good for alternative history role-playing. :charge:
Best enjoyed when played slowly...:2cents:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

...because usually the challenge presented to player decreases as your empire grows larger. However, if you let the AI develop - especially the Saka (and/or push Baktria to Indus valley and let them take firm rooot there) - you will get a deadly enemy even late in the game and welcomed difference from AS/Ptoly phalanxes. :skull::skull::skull:
Also the time needed to proper itroducing the reforms in former AS provinces poses iteresting logistical problems on the western border.

Well my choices were:

Saka Rauka, Pahlava, Sauromatae: I love Nomad factions:charge: - they all give a unique play experience although they can be hard to manage (I mean keeping order in the conquered provinces.... as with most factions I use "add_money" to keep the money on zero instead of in the red). Also great units in many areas.

Arche Seleukeia: I was always a Seleucid Fan. I like the mix of Eastern and Hellen cultural/ military element in all eastern greeks. And I always found recreating Alexanders Empire with the AS (and to go beyond) to be the best choice.

Makedonia: my favourite from the Western Hellenes. I considered them the true lords of Hellas since a long time and I really enjoy to destroy KH, Epeiros and (above all) thoose Romani with them:skull:

Romani: Perfect for roleplay + to create the roman empire and go beyond, Great infantry but somehow I often prefer Auxilia instead of roman factional cavalry.

Qarthadast: I played my first campaign with them and since then there my favourites (earlier on I couln't stand any Carthaginian Faction)

Alterntaive-History is my ussual way to play all of them.

Romani FTW!!!



































OK, I'm kidding again. It's Makedonia, Arche Seleukeia and Koinon Hellenon for me with that order.

Maion

Koinon Hellenon

Just look at these facts: Sparta, City States, Hoplites

That should be enough to convince you :whip:.

Sweboz

Because deep down I'm a Germanic, probably a Jugundiz looking at my age :2thumbsup:.

Truth and Hope to Fatherland!
ALL HAIL MAKEDONIA!!!

I like Selukid and Sweboz. As is, I like Selukid better tho. I usually edit Sweboz before playing them.

Wow...I was surprised to see Baktria right near the top! At the moment I'm a Baktria fan, but would imagine one's answer to this poll may change based on who they're playing at present.

Baktria, Casse and Epeiros although I've become fond of Hayasdan lately

I am a Romani and Koinon Hellenon fan (Should be obvious).

The Romani are in a good position at the start, minus Rome Being in Debt:thumbsdown:. I also love using the triple line~:):beam:.

Koinon Hellenon?
Well, if you can expand ASAP, you can get yourself into a nice financial situation, Being close to Byzantion (which is my first priority goal to capture) and when you get your hand on those Spartans.... :beam::beam::beam:

Makedonia and AS for me, then maybe Epeiros and Pontus

Romaioi, Ptolemaioi, KH and Saba - in that particular order.





























































:wink: OK, it's Makedonia followed by Sweboz. AS and Baktria are also cool, as are Carthage, Parthoi and Sakae.

Makedonia here, I really enjoy the first though years (fighting two difficult enemies at te same time) and the expansion into Anatolia later on.

OKAY. From now on only 1 choice. Or else. I'm also the only one whose voted for the (drum roll) BAD ASS ELUTHEROI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(see here for song) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XmP3PcZzbI If you don't like STARWARS then...

1. YOU SUCK
2. Put it on in the backround

With one choice i'd pick Makedonia

Getai is my favorite. Being able to play as my ancestors, modeled as historically accurate as possible, (and then decimating those haughty polis-dwellers with falces :evilgrin:) results in a very happy me.

Epeiros. Interesting position, many possibilities, availability of Hellenic, Illyrian, Italian and Thracian units, and elephants.

Pahlava, Romani and Saba. Only voted Pahlava though.

Ptolemaioi. We need more lovers of Alexandria around here.

Baktria, followed by Makedonia, KH, Aedui, Arverni and Pahlava.

This. Epeiros can form any type of army (except for cataphracts) and has a brilliant starting position. Although it becomes very easy after you have conquered Italy and Greece and built a lvl4 government and high regional barracks in Odrysai or Scorcouw. The infantry there is superior to everything.

whoever voted BAD ASS ELUTHEROI plz. announce yourself
