    I like the greeks. Their suberb defence abilities mean that i can expand and expect to be able to counter any threat to my homelands if i anger someone:)

    Well, I'm into the Romans, for better or worse. I'm having a blast as other factions too, but the Romans are my favorite. The flexibility they get from their unit roster is, to me, the high point. You can do nearly anything with them.

    Like sapi, I very much like the Greeks. Because their main unit is the hoplite, I was forced to play a defensive/diplomacy game - which I found very refreshing.

    Greeks are nice with their' phalanx - but maybe you should try Macedon - they have superior Cavalry

    The Greeks. I have a strange gaming fetish for huge walls of spears. I could choose the Seleucids or the Macedonians instead, but no. The Greeks look cool. Hoplites are the top end of chic Roman-era deathdealing bodywear, Armoured Hoplites look even more cool. You gotta love that helmet.

    Now look at the helmets all the various pikemen from other Grecian factions use. Looks like some kind of penis idol stuck to the top of their damn head. Gah, terrible, just terrible.

    Have only had the game for a week now and must say it was worth the wait. The only factions I have tried are the Julii (which remind me of the english faction in MTW) and the Selucian Empire which has great phalanx units and rolls in money from the start. Pity they don't get to have decent affordable melee units. Great horse and elephant units and their scyted chariots can mow down any foot unit on their path.
