Re: Which factions have you played campaigns as?
from 0.75 till now I've played most factions
Alot with the hay, pontos, KH, AS, Saba, Phalava, Casse, Avreni, Baktria, Lusotannan

Not interested in pike-based armies, horse-archers or "barbarians".Originally Posted by Hax
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
Re: Which factions have you played campaigns as?
Have started out KH, Epiros & Makedon but probably not played enough to properly count. Maybe the KH one?
Carthage, Arverni, Getai, Lusotanan & Aedui campaigns are the ones I've gotten furthest with, 2 ended by new EB versions & at least 2 of the others by repeated CTDs (including at least one of the short ones)
Love the Gauls :)
Getai was sweet too.
Lusotannan was slow starting but was going pretty well but then I stopped playing about the same time as I was going to have to invade Italy against so many Polybian units, saved by EB 1.1 release.
Carthage is my favourite but I haven't played since I think .8.
Desert wars at the river crossing every 2 turns was very annoying & never felt that I could really expect to be able to take over the Nile. Even if I did, I'd just wind up with an even bigger grind against the Grey Death...
Would like to get a Ptolemaic campaign going but the one I tried failed miserably :(
Have little interest in playing Sabyn, Sweboz, nomadic factions or Rome (mostly because I can't be bothered with trying to work out how the whole consul trait stuff works).
Have been kinda gun-shy about playing one of the neighbours of the Grey Death but I think next comes a Baktria campaign.
Have never reached the offical victory conditions.
Wasn't far from it with Aedui & Lusotannan though.
maybe those guys should be doing something more useful...
Re: Which factions have you played campaigns as?
2 longest campaigns were Makedonia and Karthadast in 1.0. In 1.1 I'm just playing a few turns with each faction to see what they're like.

Which leaves the Romans and Saba as the only available factions for u?

Re: Which factions have you played campaigns as?
Just thought I'd do a little resurrection to say my Baktria campaign is coming along well :)
So far Grey Death has sent only fairly limited forces in my direction & Eastern archers vs Eastern unarmoured troops is great fun.
Being on the wrong end of the Saka makes me actually interested in giving a nomad faction a go sometime.

Re: Which factions have you played campaigns as?
Pretty much, though I'm not keen on the weakness of Saba's infantry.
All that said, I have been tempted to try a Qarthadast campaign every now and then, largely because their Iberian infantry are good. I'd play it historical, losing battles and territory to Rome before my eventual destruction in 146BC.

Re: Which factions have you played campaigns as?
Since I guess you're not using Force Diplomacy (since the achievement would then be worth nothing), I'd really like to know... HOW???
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!
Re: Which factions have you played campaigns as?
I would guess maybe not fight the Ptolemaioi when you first start out. Grab a ceasefire, and perhaps an alliance could be possible later given time. I've certainly seen the AI do it numerous times.

1.0 Pontos (245 BC)
Remanent or Supremacy - An EB Pontos AAR - Unfortunately postponed indefinitely.
