    As the leader of the great Roman republic, which stretches from the Land of the Lusitani to Athens, and from the mountains of southern Gaul to the sands of northern Africa, I hate...I hate...the Yellow Death seething up from the Arabian deserts and the great Nile Valley. All other enemies are mere nuisances to me.

    I have laid waste to their great coastal cities, I have strangled their maritime trade routes, I have filled the dry desert riverbeds with the blood of their warriors...yet they still keep coming, with seemingly infinite reserves no doubt drawn from conquered lands to the east. I am consumed with visions of their total destruction. Great Roman military generals have been forged in the cauldron of nearly endless fighting, and more will follow as surely as tomorrow's sunrise. I know that one of our youngest and brightest boys from the ruling family will ascend to the highest ranks and crush the Ptolemaics for all time.

    Ahem...Yeah, I seriously hate the Ptolemaics...

    I like fighting against the Seleukids, because early in the game they will send out huge stacks of hellenic native spearmen, which may be the weakest unit in the game imo. This leads to tiny horse archer armies of like 300 killing 3000 seleukids or something, which is always fun.

    I really like fighting most factions later in the game. Currently playing a Carthage campaign, I am trying to stall and conquer everything EXCEPT Rome so that they will hopefully build up and when we do finally start to battle they will have some serious units to throw at me.

    The Saka Rauka. Their armies are obnoxious to fight, and at times are nearly invincible. Further, no matter how hard you try to kill the bastards, they take yet another city. They have proven to be one of the more difficult factions to deal with, and I like difficulty.
    Even now they plague the frontier, and I'm not sure my armies can stop this cancer before it spreads again.

    Hunting Romans down wherever I can find them.
    Ptolis are sort of huntable too. Esp. in my Carthargian campaign in which they started a world war by besieging Lepki. All I can say: we got rumble in the Nile valley these days. They do have some good units.

    yes they do. try not to tangle hand to hand with the basilkon Agema. they killed more seleukids in my campaigns than any other unit but the k. galatikoi (the #1 killer). and don't tangle with th k. galatikoi either.
