Whats your favourite army to be and why?

[phred]

The Seleucids and Pontus are both good factions. I don't like the Seleucid starting position, but if you like the faction enough, easy to overcome that. It is a challenge. But that's what we like in TW games anyhow. :D

I'll just have to try it again sometime.

I just re-installed RTW to play the Seleucids. I'm finally to the point where I've eliminated Egypt, Pontus, Armenia; made peace with Parthia and Numidia; and the Greeks were eliminated by the Scipii. ahhh....blessed peace for the first time since turn 10 or so.
It won't last long. The Romans are on a roll east; it's only a matter of time. Good times ahead. :)

My favorite Hellenic faction was Macedon lol. I loved beating the Greeks and the Thracians and Dacians for control of Greece, and then, the Brutii... ah Rome... Macedon's non-stop fighting in my experience. No matter who you're playing, you gotta know at some point you'll be contending with Rome. Good luck and enjoy the fun! :D

Good V.S. both cav and inf, and they just look epic to me.

Cataphract camels are great lol. Nearly the same price as the regular cataphracts, nearly the same attack and defense too, + a bonus against other cavalry. What's not to love? It's Parthia's insurance that they'll always be able to achieve cavalry dominance. :D
