That was probably the single most fun campaign I have ever played, and I have played as every faction. The diversity of units makes it so fun. From making English cavalry kebabs with my Welsh Longbows to fighting the Egpytians with my Nubian units in the desert, I loved every moment of that campaign.
If you think you've had enough of the usual factions, you have to give the Rebels a go.
My tips are to blitz like Askthepizzaguy in a Panzertank while on some serious stuff. Abandon every settlement and group all units together, then storm the AI off the map. As you can see from my screenie, you will find there are two troublesome areas of the map - Iberia and around the Alps. Therefore, you should avoid these areas and concentrate on taking out everywhere else first. Also if you can kill off a factions family members, that could save a lot of time. I got both Yerevan and Mosul after killing the last Turkish general in Iconium.
