What faction did you play first?

[Lysimachos]

let's take this elsewhere, plz?

Seconded. Nobody is going to be convinced here of whatever and what could be said has been.

By the way, i played the Romans first, too, because i think they are the best choice to learn a mod's concept's differences to those of other mods, as they are most "common" faction for ancient era mods.
Another thing is, they are designed very interesting in EB: they have the most reforms, they have a lot of special traits, they have offices and so on.
