Faction you hate (or dread) fighting the most?

[Maion Maroneios]

Actually, funny thing is I've never actually fought a nomad faction. I always play "civilized" nations and Makedonia to be more precise. I'm too spoiled with elite infantry and cavalry, I guess But it seems people are actually having a tough time against them.

Now that I think of it, I've actually had my ass handed to me once by Scythia as the Greek Cities, back when I used to play vanilla RTW. I was all full of confidence, and when I finally started marching my Amroured Hoplites-based army north of Hellas to the steppes, I got owned bery badly by the horse archers...

i realy like the units of nomad factions. But i realy dread every confrontation with them, because i know i will loose more troops than justified by the cost of horse archers D:

on the other hand i hate(not dread) fighting the AS, mainly because of those endless waves of phalangites. I have become rather good at confronting phalanxes but it always takes so damn long to fight those fullstacks, as Phalangites are overrated in the auto resolver(that being the reason for me to fight those battles on the battle map). on top of that i can't raid their cities from the coast, exept for those in which they maintain a reasonable garrison :(
