    Default Getting into certain factions

    I just recently played a long campaign as one of the civilized factions and decided to take a small break from EB when I was done. A couple weeks later and I'm back on board the EB bandwagon. I decided to play as the Arverni again since it's been a while since I last played as a barbarian. I played the campaign for a few days but unexpectantly started losing interest. I'm afraid playing as the Romani for so long in my last game has somehow tarnished my view of the ancient Celts. My favorite EB factions have always been those of the ancient Celts but now I find it difficult to "get into" one of their campaigns. I actually caught myself referring to the Celts as uncivilized and smelly barbarians which I know is a stereotypical Roman and Hellenistic view. I was curious if this has ever happened to others. Has anyone else found it hard to get into a certain faction because maybe that faction was once your mortal enemy in another campaign?

    usually a rousing warcry or rally speech shouted at the computer screen would get me into the faction fairly quickly...

    try screaming "RABUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU" when you charge your rabble... it certainly got me far enough when i played as aedui...

    Same thing here. After playing the hellenic factions extensively, I tend to have the same stereotypical view of ''barbaroi''. I have tried to play with the Arverni, Aedui and Casse, but i always found myself abandoning my campaigns very soon, sadly.

    After having played many Eastern campaigns I could never get into playing the Seleucids. They are almost always my arch-enemy (at least until Egypt gobbles them up and takes that role). I did play a Seleucid game not too long ago, but I went scorched earth on all my cities and moved to Carthage. Got a ctd bug not long after that though.

    You migrated to Carthage with the Seleucids? That's quite a walk.
