I love it when people wax lyrical about the Romans, its just so gushing; as if the Romans were their lover, this great and wonderful man who just seems too good to be true. And the Seleucids! Superpower? Only for like 150 years. Blip, just a blip.

Baktria, actually. I was inspired by hooahguy's AAR and the unique unit choices they possessed. Will have to play them again some day, now that I've got a handle on EB economics. I won, but didn't get to use all their units.

Read my Aedui AAR-"Across the Waters: A Story of the Migration"
And the sequel "Sword of Albion"
The Romans from a much earlier release (can't remember now but probably .74 or something)
They have always had a good position and what is more, an excellent and involving trait and reform system (it got better with the last two releases). The challenge with the Romans is not to conquer x number of territories, but to get the reforms naturally. It becomes a story that is so involving.
I've played the Casse to the VCs, the Sweboz and the Pahlava as my first 1.1 campaign and am currently giving the Macedonians a go. None have grabbed me as much as the Romans.
This is no reflection on the real peoples, I'm talking about gameplay here.
