Simple poll.
My fav gotta be The Seleucid Empire, since you got a huge selection of different units; elephants, pikes, legionares, cataphracts, companions and so on.
Also, I wanted to find out if anyone deared come out of the cupboard and say Egypt.

Re: What faction is your favorite?
I agree with you Viking. The Seleucid's rock. They are a Greeco-Persian Empire exactly like Alexander wanted to create. They even get legions too. My only problem with them is that they are a little slow to get started and that often leads to them being swamped by the Egyptians (who are fast) when the AI is in control. If they developed faster, then when playing another faction they would be a real pain.
Cowardice is to run from the fear;
Bravery is not to never feel the fear.
Bravery is to be terrified as hell;
But to hold the line anyway.
Re: What faction is your favorite?
Either Germania, because of the cool units and the nice 'ancenstral feeling' or the Romans, because they seem to be the ultimate war-machine and empire buiders. Since I can only vote once, I'll vote for Germania.
Re: What faction is your favorite?
GREECE, NIKE GRAECO hoplites, hoplites and more hoplites

Pontus! Pontus! Pontus!
they rule

Re: What faction is your favorite?
Yeah, Pontus have many unique units, like the Cappadocians.
I`m looking forward to test `em out.
The only thing I miss though, is the upgrade of the bodyguard unit.

Re: What faction is your favorite?
Great poll! I am just wondering what to play next!
My favorite is Germania. Cool units, challenging in the beginning, immidiatelly enemies nearby; big final in Rome;
Julii are to simple, Carthage is fun, but once you landed in Italy it is over.
Egypt is boring. Too much money!
Scythia is great too. To me very challenging, bad economy and only HA. But now I want to have some man's fight!
Re: What faction is your favorite?
I don't really think I can vote but I'll say Scythia because I'm a cavalry commander and they've been a pretty fun faction so far into my campaign with them.
Re: What faction is your favorite?
Carthage all the way but as Franconia said,once you land in Italy and get a city there it is all over.I sometimes wish the AI would let the Romans ignore me for a while so i can expand in a different direction.

Thanks!Originally Posted by Franconicus
You should try Parthia; bad economy HA`s, cataphracts, elephants, and some cool cataphract camels.
Also you got some terrible neighbours, like the CA`s from Armenia.

Re: What faction is your favorite?
I like the germanians there axemen can really tear you up if you don't got anything to stop them but they have poorly armor.
They have great army but there econemy is so-so.
so it can be a little challenging but once you go as far as 210 bc your pretty much good.
but watch out for brittania and the gauls, may be neighbors but also your enemy.
Re: What faction is your favorite?
Welcome to the .org trarii!
Those german Axemen are great!
It would be nice if junior members like trarii who are not allowed to vote, could post below.

Re: What faction is your favorite?
My favorite factions are the Greeks, Seleucids, Parthians and Carthage. All of them begins as rather weak and harassed factions, and there are few things as satisfying in this game than to finally defeat those backstabbing egyptians and the "oh-but-we-don't-like-diplomacy-and-ceasefire" romans.
The word that has heralded progress throughout the ages: "It's gotta be worth a try..."

brutii power!
Why do you hate Freedom?
The US is marching backward to the values of Michael Stivic.
Re: What faction is your favorite?
No gah?
Re: What faction is your favorite?
Egypt!
Although RTW is the wrong scene for this uber-civ. I´ve been studying egyptology now for well over 15 years so I´m passionate about them. In RTW however they´re no longer Egypt so my vote goes to any of the Romans (after the Marian reform).
Re: What faction is your favorite?
My favorite faction has to be Macedonia. i just love th idea of taking a a old super power and restoring its power.
