New start looking for a faction

I am going to finnish my game tommorow.I am playing Julii and need just three provinces to finnish.

Before i start new game I would like to do next:

I am from Croatia but since I really suck at history in general I need your hlep. I would like to find out what faction (If any) the Croatia would belong in this game.Tryed to figure it out myself but since I have no idea what some of those factions (Pontus,Parthia,Dacia.....) are (partly coz of the english language) I got stuck at the begining.

So does any one know.....

well were Croatia is historicly theres rebels ! Thry eithe Greek Cities there probably the nearest, You may also whant to try Thrace (chalenging but fun to do) Or alternitivlu Dacia if your realy up for a chalenge.

Who do Dacia and Thrace represent in todays world...I mean what nations came from them.

Dacia is in the sort of Hungary area and Thrace border the black sea so Bulgaria Romania area. Hope thats of any use.

Nearest faction to Croatia is Dacia. Gaul also has a privince near there but Gallic tribes were mainly in (modern day) France.

Dacia is a real challenge though, maybe not one for a second time play. It depends how good/ambitious you are.

Dacia is basically modern day Romania. thats about as much help as i can be

if you want a less challenging game try macedon
then take the two rebel provinces to the west/northwest
now be stupid and gift all your provinces to greek cities
now you have just modern day croatia area and you have some very weak provinces but a dense army
i assume you take all your units from your old provinces

Hm...that's a bit of a challenging decision, because of the fact you're ancestors where naughty rebels back then.

Not necessarily your ancestors though. Your ancestors could have been Roman soldiers, Phoenecian merchants, or perhaps Dorians.

Probably all of them, as well as some others. ~;) But actually I thought the Croatians were one of of the South-Slav tribes, moving in to the area long after the RTW period... They should have come from what is now Russia, most likely what is the Pripet-region in RTW...

Yeah, we came from Slavenian tribes somewhere from the Karpats

So i guess that the conclusion would be that there is no faction that i could choose based on Croatia.

But anyway what do you recomend me to chose.....I am playing RTR 5.4.1

take macedon and invade asia minor...be alexander the great all over again
