In a dark, dark past I once played Romaioi. The only time I quitted voluntarily after having effortlessly become filthy rich and unstoppable. Didn't even wait for Polybians.

I've played almost all the faction until I get filthy rich and bored.
Only exception would be The Romans and the Sauromatians.
I enjoy fighting Romans, as its a good challenge so I usually avoid them.
Sauromatians are good fun. But eventually I got bored of Steppe warfare. Pahlava, Hay and Saka gives you decent land force so I usually end up playing them.
Completed campaigns:
Vanilla Carthage
BI Sassanids
EB 1.1 Casse

Saba, boring!?
Who said that!?![]()
well, it is boring..at least early on. but it certainly isn't the most boring.
problem is the lack of funds. I'm playing it right now, and I had to disband my army 5 times now to keep it all afloat.
but it gets fun once you conquer 4 settlements.
say, how on earth does one train those elephants? I know you can get them in saba, from africa... I think its type III or IV, but I'm not sure![]()

Yes. It will gain a few strong factional units but especially a lot of regionals. I'd expect EBII to have more than 20 arab units.
Also actually I must agree saba is boring even though the campaign 'an sich'would be very promising, well content wise it is. But that's because a lot never got made or finished. Either way as I will work on EBII's saba I'll have automatically extra content than could possibly be made into a small patch for EBI. And I'm also be helping AtB with fleshing out the Sabaeans more.
I'll only be content if Saba and the rest of Arbia in it's whole get represented as good as any other faction and region, and showing people that saba diserves a slot. Also I think I'll be very succesfull in making saba and arabia interesting, and hopefully set certain people to love this sadly forgotten, disregarded and neglected part of history.
I would have to agree about Saba , I really prefer to wander in the steppe , if I am to choose between wastelands that is .
On the other hand I absolutely hate playing with the Empires at the start of the game : Carthage , Ptolemy , Seleukeia . Haven't managed to get to turn 3 with them .
After all , you get to kick their collective butt as KH , my absolutely favorite faction ( except for the fact that my Spartan Generals don't get to have Spartan bodyguards later in the game - oh the tragedy , boo-hoo )

3 most boring choices:
1) Seleukids ...just the idea of managing 20+ cities every turn from turn 1 kills my motivation for playing them... I prefer starting small ,then building up ...
2)Casse ... though i really like them as afaction and they get a great starting position their economy is just too lousy during the first decades... weak economy+weak starting army=not much action...o and their charriot command is possibly the lousiest unit in EB (looks cool though)
3)the Romans... i got soooooo bored of them after playing the Julii and Brutii RTW campaigns...
Ongoing Campaigns: Baktria, Casse, Koinon Hellenon, Pahlava.
Abandoned/Failed Campaigns: Aedui-Epeiros-Pontos-Saba-Saka Rauka-Sauromatae. (I'll be back though!)
