    Which RTW faction do people like playing best? And why?

    For me, it's Julii. There's just something iconic about Romans battling barbarians. And in red, gotta be in red.

    Greek Cities!!! They may not have a very wide range of units, but they are damn good!! And the mercenaries to be found in their lands are amazingly good!! Like the cretan archers, and bastarnae mercenaries.

    I have played some Julii in 1.0 and currently doing Brutii (initially just to get the Greek States). I'm enjoying it so much I'll finish this . Next Greek States (finally some major phalanx action ). So no vote yet.

    I concur. Always fun to slaughter thousands of poor little barbarians.

    Greek Cities, definitely.

    They have hoplites, they are Greeks, they are cultured, they start in the center of the map, and they have a heated position right from the beginning.

    Wow. No love for the horse archers? I know they got bugged with the patch, but still.

    Put me down for Scythians. Best HA empire in the game. And because their provinces are so big, you really look like you are doing well from the start. :)
