    there's probably a thread like this out there somewhere, but my favorite factions are Makedonia, KH, and Baktria.

    Some people say I'm heartless. Shows what they know. I have three in a jar on my desk!

    Arche Seleukeia ALL the way!

    Let's totally hax those steppe-barbarians and Baktrian usurpers! And while we're at it, let's kick those sister-loving freaks out of Aigyptos!

    Pahlava by far.

    Least favorite? Romani.

    for an in-depth and fascinating history of the heirs of Seleukos Nikator.

    i've always like the factions with reforms, because it helps to shape my campaigns. In 1.0 i played the sarmations, KH, AS, the Hay, carthage, and the romans. All of these were half campaigns, because i lose interest in one faction and always want to try another. Right now i'm playing the romans in 1.1 and i want to play so that i can see all the reforms. Then I want to play an eastern faction, maybe the saka or parthians.

    By far my sarmation campaign was the most fun, but it went down the tubes fast when I went broke and the parthians invaded me with everything they had. I was holding them off, but could never turn the tide of the war. Then I had a killer CTD, and that campaign died.

    Pahlava. They are absolutely the best. Uncontested.

    Rome, and that is all.
    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

    Pretty much love every faction out there. So very difficult to choose. I practically have to start a new campaign every few years of each faction I play. All I can really give are priorities of different factions, which are pretty much same across the board. Except for Sarmatia. I don't seem to want to play as them that much.
    Ongoing EB Campaigns:
    1.0 Pontos (245 BC)

    Remanent or Supremacy - An EB Pontos AAR - Unfortunately postponed indefinitely.

    My favorites are Rome and Bactria: Rome when I feel like playing in the West, Bactria in the East. They both have good economies and great units.

    AS and Romani (saba' is close-but its way too boring (I mean, capture your neighbor, disband, and wait 20-40 turns? that boring indeed.
