See my sig...

They make it a desert, and call it peace.

I pretty much have no favorite faction. I love all of them.
Ongoing EB Campaigns:
1.0 Pontos (245 BC)
Remanent or Supremacy - An EB Pontos AAR - Unfortunately postponed indefinitely.
1.1 Saka Rauka Gameplay Guide
1.1 Lusotannan Gameplay Guide
So you have 21 favourite factions.

20, I can't play the rebels.

I only play Rome.
It began on seven hills - an EB 1.1 Romani AAR with historical house-rules (now ceased)
Heirs to Lysimachos - an EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR with semi-historical houserules (now ceased)
Philetairos' Gift - a second EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR
Koinon Hellenon, fun watching units, specially barbarians run straight into my Spartan phalanx.
It seems to change to whatever faction I'm currently playing, so right now I gotta say its the Hayasdan. Something about those reforms, HAs, and the absurd difficulty level makes them rock.
Saka, Baktria, Pontus and Hay
I don't know for the moment because ineed to start playing eb so i was just wondering which faction was the most liked
I've now completed with Seba, Carthage and Bactria.
And I rekon Carthage was the most fun to play with...
so its Carthage all the way
Take a look at my signature, although every faction is really admirable in EB.
Any of the Nomadic factions, Pahlava, SakaRauka, Sauromatae, but I'm a horsearcher/heavy cavalry fan. Also really like the Getai, though all of the factions are well done and seem interesting to play, though I'm not the biggest fan of the phalanx.
If you've similar inclinations, Pahlava and Saka Rauka are great cav factions, but they don't leave you in the dust when it comes to infantry though (reforms needed, the Pahlava reform is a little more complicated to get than the Saka reform). Sauromatae is a bit harder going on the infantry dep't. Getai have great "barbarian-style" infantry, and easy access to horsearchers along with some "pseudo-phalanx" infantry. Their heavy cavalry aren't that great though, but not bad (certainly not as poor as the Romani cavalry).
Makedonia, Qarthadastim, and the Koinon Hellenon. I also really like the unit roster for the Getai, though I have yet to play a true campaign with them.
Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer: The Gameroom
Definitively, Romani and Bactria.
Arche Seleukeia
Epeiros
This space intentionally left blank.
1. Arche Seleukeia.
2. Makedonia
3. Pontus, Pahlava, Carthage, Koinon Hellenon, Epeiros
those are the ones I love so much that I can never bring myself to destroy any of them when they are AI... and that's kinda a problem ;( ;)
4. Baktria, Hayasdan
5. Ptolemaioi, Getai

Moreover, I advise that Syracusans must be added to EB (insp. by Cato the Elder )
Is looking forward to the 2090's, when EB 20.0 will be released - spanning the entire Eurasian continent and having no Eleutheroi - with a faction for every independent state instead. Look out for the Gedrosians, the Cretans and the kingdom of Kallatis!
Getai
Arche Seleukeia

3. Makedonia
"I fought with all that I had, but at the end I was left wounded, bloodied, and broken and asking myself, "Why?"."
The Eleutheroi.
God love them, they never give up - I think the grey little bastards have killed over twice as many of my men than all the other factions put together.
They have the best generals in the game, and they always defend their city squares like true madmen.
Desert, plain or Alpine mountain, they are always the most painful and dreaded enemy - they ambush your singular units en route to the main army, and kill off your best generals when they are retiring home to the capital.
By far the most realistic, tactical, brave and unrelenting faction.
Pontus, because they have a Perso-Hellenic Army and Casse, for their awesome starting position.
I would've said Lusotanna if it weren't for the cripplingly high unit costs.
I am playing the Lusitannan and although the units are expensive the resources of Iberia pay for them :)Originally Posted by Olaf The Great
Favorites so far:
1. Carthage
2. Lusitannan
Although to be honest its a tie at this point.
1. Ptolemies
2. Carthage
3. Koinon Hellenon
I like all the factions in EB. Here's just a few that I really like.
1. Casse. The first faction I ever played consistently in EB (0.74 days. ah the nostalgia) I still have a soft spot for those brave blue men.
2. KH. Like STuNTz2023 said. There's something about watching a disorganised barbarian rabble charge into my perfectly lined phalanx.
3. Sweboz! Never really got that far with them but i just like feeling evil and the overall dark atmosphere the germanic forest gives (on the campaign map that is).
4. Getai. They're close to thracians! I love thracians!
5. Bactria. A nice blend of India, Persia, and Greece. East meets West.
6. Karthage. Diverse armies kinda like bactria good economy. Plus Hannibal Barca!
7. Saby'n. I just like them. Sure their armies aren't on par with those of their greek or persian neighbors. But I still like them.
8. The sons of Aeneas!(Romani) I love attempting to conquer the world as them.
9. Lusotannan. I like their units. and i like iberia. I've always wanted to start a campaign were i conquer all the iberian tribes who aren't under the influence of Karthage or greece. Then moving my capital to Numantia.
10. Pontus. I like their unit roster. They're are kinda like the jack-of-all-trades faction to me when it comes to their units.
11. Hayasdan. Riding with my loyal subjects to subdue those filthy perverted greeks and restore the persian empire! ( I always get crushed by the Silver death after attempting this sadly.)
12. Saka. Good calvary. Later on when the reforms hit gain good infantry (sadly i never made it to the reforms. stupid crappy steppe economy). Well balanced.

Why do you think they are evil?Originally Posted by Wolfman
I don't know really. Not so much evil but mysterious to me. Dark, Unknown, Ancient. Their warriors sort of give me that feel. I've always liked learning about the Barbarian peoples that were able to defeat the mighty roman empire.Originally Posted by Centurio Nixalsverdrus

Ha! Not so mysterious when I plunder their spooky little towns and trample the estranged spirits from their pale bodies with my wing of horse!
They stay on their side of the river, and I'll stay on mine.
(My favourite player faction is the Arverni).
I love the pride shown in the noble Gallic armour, the headress, the emblems and customs.
A very gallant culture really, and I pity the Arverni because of their terrible fate in every game I play outside of Gaul.
