    Default Can anyone reccomend a faction?

    OK, I've just finished a gloroius romani campaign and am looking for another faction to play as. Here are my ideas about what I'd like:

    1) Preferably recognisably hellenic, although other cool factions will do

    2) Really should have a potentally brilliant navy

    3) MUST be tastefully dressed

    and..4) MUST NOT be in a position needing to kick annouying men in Green from their lands!

    I dn't want a really hard game, but not one as easy as Rome, either.

    Ptolomy or baktria if you dont mind spending a very very long time fitheing the AS, Carthage is good aswel. The Getai arn't hellenistic but theyre good fun.

    I'm going for Baktria as it says that Carthage are as easy as Rome. Thanks guys!

    I can say Hayasdan is extremely fun if everything turns out well, I'm doing it on H campaign difficulty.
    Early years are hectic to say the least.
    They have no infantry that stands out, but get some awesome cataphracts to help out.
    Also the reforms keep the game refresshing, and it felt great to finally make a decent persia influenced army when Persian Hoplites became available.

    If you have a well balanced army, every battle can be interesting.
    Unlike other factions who have a lot of strong infantry, and you can have that "I can go on forever before replenishing troops" feeling.

    My empire stretches from Persepolis to Memphis, and Pontus has been left alone as a faithfull ally.

    Even now in 170BC the campaign is interesting, as Bactria is winning against me around susa and persepolis.
    Need to fear the "Hetairor Kataphraktoi"!
    I was forced to send my army protecting the Caucasian mountains to assist, leaving the entire place undefended.
    This is at a point when I'm getting the feeling that Pontus will break their alliance with me, but I currently gave them a nice tribute to keep them from the temptation.

    I got a bit carried away.
    However it doesen't seem to fit to your preferences that you listed, but I really hope you can give it a thought at least. :)

    What do you mean with "men in green"?

    Yes, which "men in green"? Because one of the cool Hellenic factions that fit your request wear green themselves (Epeirots). Though they will most likely have a bit of tension from the other "men in green".

    I assume he meant don't bother recommending Makedonia as he didn't want to have to face the Epirotes right from turn 1.
