Most Liked Faction

[the man with no name]

I've always wanted to know what, and play the most liked faction.(including elutheroi exept i can't play them.


Note: You can vote for only 1. It was by acciddent that i put multiple choice. Plz. don't take advantage of this mistake.

[Aemilius Paulus]

Romani and Eperios for me.

[Zett]

I go for Koinon Hellenon and Makedonia. I love western Greeks, Epeiros would be my third choice, but I don't like it as much as the first two. Ceterum censeo Romam esse delendam.

[Ignopotens]

Casse, Getai, Saromatae, and Pontus

[Vasiliyi]

Romani and Arche seluekia for me.

[V.T. Marvin]

Romani - good for alternative history role-playing, central position, varied enemies, varied fighting styles thanks to allied part of your legions while keeping particular faction character thanks to uniform roman core units.
Best enjoyed when played semi-historically.

Pontos - starting with just one province makes a good empire-building game, diverse unit roster enabling fielding several distinct armies: Persian, Galatian, Greek, Thracian, etc. Steady challenge throughout the game.
Best enjoyed when role-played as alliance of several independent factions.

Pahlava - excellent concept of transforming nomad faction into real empire, lot of fun managing the tight budget during the first half of the game, good for alternative history role-playing.
Best enjoyed when played slowly...

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

...because usually the challenge presented to player decreases as your empire grows larger. However, if you let the AI develop - especially the Saka (and/or push Baktria to Indus valley and let them take firm rooot there) - you will get a deadly enemy even late in the game and welcomed difference from AS/Ptoly phalanxes.
Also the time needed to proper itroducing the reforms in former AS provinces poses iteresting logistical problems on the western border.

[HunGeneral]

Well my choices were:

Saka Rauka, Pahlava, Sauromatae: I love Nomad factions - they all give a unique play experience although they can be hard to manage (I mean keeping order in the conquered provinces.... as with most factions I use "add_money" to keep the money on zero instead of in the red). Also great units in many areas.

Arche Seleukeia: I was always a Seleucid Fan. I like the mix of Eastern and Hellen cultural/ military element in all eastern greeks. And I always found recreating Alexanders Empire with the AS (and to go beyond) to be the best choice.

Makedonia: my favourite from the Western Hellenes. I considered them the true lords of Hellas since a long time and I really enjoy to destroy KH, Epeiros and (above all) thoose Romani with them

Romani: Perfect for roleplay + to create the roman empire and go beyond, Great infantry but somehow I often prefer Auxilia instead of roman factional cavalry.

Qarthadast: I played my first campaign with them and since then there my favourites (earlier on I couln't stand any Carthaginian Faction)

Alterntaive-History is my ussual way to play all of them.

[Maion Maroneios]

Romani FTW!!!



































OK, I'm kidding again. It's Makedonia, Arche Seleukeia and Koinon Hellenon for me with that order.

Maion

[Phalanx300]

Koinon Hellenon

Just look at these facts: Sparta, City States, Hoplites

That should be enough to convince you .

Sweboz

Because deep down I'm a Germanic, probably a Jugundiz looking at my age .

[satalexton]

Truth and Hope to Fatherland!
ALL HAIL MAKEDONIA!!!

[sedlacekj]

I like Selukid and Sweboz. As is, I like Selukid better tho. I usually edit Sweboz before playing them.

[Tarkus]

Wow...I was surprised to see Baktria right near the top! At the moment I'm a Baktria fan, but would imagine one's answer to this poll may change based on who they're playing at present.

[Ravenfeeder]

Baktria, Casse and Epeiros although I've become fond of Hayasdan lately

[Alsatia]

I am a Romani and Koinon Hellenon fan (Should be obvious).

The Romani are in a good position at the start, minus Rome Being in Debt. I also love using the triple line.

Koinon Hellenon?
Well, if you can expand ASAP, you can get yourself into a nice financial situation, Being close to Byzantion (which is my first priority goal to capture) and when you get your hand on those Spartans....

[Elcmar]

Makedonia and AS for me, then maybe Epeiros and Pontus

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

Romaioi, Ptolemaioi, KH and Saba - in that particular order.





























































OK, it's Makedonia followed by Sweboz. AS and Baktria are also cool, as are Carthage, Parthoi and Sakae.

[Horatius Flaccus]

Makedonia here, I really enjoy the first though years (fighting two difficult enemies at te same time) and the expansion into Anatolia later on.

[the man with no name]

(see here for song) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XmP3PcZzbI If you don't like STARWARS then...

1. YOU SUCK
2. Put it on in the backround

[Elcmar]

With one choice i'd pick Makedonia

[DaciaJC]

Getai is my favorite. Being able to play as my ancestors, modeled as historically accurate as possible, (and then decimating those haughty polis-dwellers with falces ) results in a very happy me.

[Hax]

Epeiros. Interesting position, many possibilities, availability of Hellenic, Illyrian, Italian and Thracian units, and elephants.

[johnhughthom]

Pahlava, Romani and Saba. Only voted Pahlava though.

[MButcher]

Ptolemaioi. We need more lovers of Alexandria around here.

[Andronikos]

Baktria, followed by Makedonia, KH, Aedui, Arverni and Pahlava.

[Meothar]

Epeiros. Interesting position, many possibilities, availability of Hellenic, Illyrian, Italian and Thracian units, and elephants.

This. Epeiros can form any type of army (except for cataphracts) and has a brilliant starting position. Although it becomes very easy after you have conquered Italy and Greece and built a lvl4 government and high regional barracks in Odrysai or Scorcouw. The infantry there is superior to everything.
