Who do you play as?

[The_Brittunculi]

So far I've only played the Saka and Casse in-depth. The Saka in H/VH were a great faction to play as, after you get out of debt their cavalry-based armies can take out most of the nearby infantry-based factions. I also like to use horse archers. It just got boring fighting the Diadochi factions all the time so I started a H/VH Casse campaign.
After several restarts, I managed to unite the British Isles and then prepared for an invasion of Scandinavia. Thanks to pirates, I lost my entire army and several FM's. Instead of invading Scandinavia, I started bribing armies in Greece and sacking under-defended cities. This is a lot of fun if you have a strong economy.
Later I invaded rebel parts of Gaul and successfully invaded Scandinavia, and that's where I am right now.

I'm a Roman player by heart, but if you want something different, then go one for Epirus.

You get pikes and elephants

You get Thracians and Celts early on

You can get all the brilliant Italic units

You get to have an empire from Italy to India!

now get to it!

I play as the Casse, and it is awesome. They have some really cool units and a fun starting position.

Getai, I just love falxes :D

Makedonia. I am a real Diadochoi lover, so it's natural I guess :-P Anyway I play along the flow of my ongoing AAR and I can truthfully say that it is quite interesting to have others point out what you should do Like having the Senate point out missions, only it's more enjoyable!

KH - but because i defeated or allied the other three civs in the region(Macedon, Epeiros and Getai) i like them aswell. also because of the easy access to thracians and an overall simpathy for them^^ but still i don't think i will start a Makedon campaign because I've just about had enouth of fighting grey and yellow death.
I just like to spread the Hellenic culture all over the word(once again) or at least that is my excuse for causing death and destruction

also started a Sweboz and a Saka Campaign to get some change from hoplites vs Phalangites^^ but i'm not realy far with them

Currently I'm playing as Pahlava, and I'm really loving them. I always had a thing for horse archers and carving out an empire at the Arche's expense...

I am playing as Casse, mainly because I love Celtic factions but partly because I am British and partly because they have a safe starting position once you conquer the Isles, this means that the A.I. aren't going to wipe you out.
