    Selucids are definitely the best for sheer variety. You can try out every type of unit in the game.

    Legions - check
    Phalanxes - check
    Pikemen - check
    Light cav - check
    Cataphracts - check
    Elephants - check
    Chariots - check
    Onagers - check
    They even get camels (and camel archers) as mercs in their starting provinces.
    The only major unit type they don't have access to is wardogs.

    The only problem is they have a very tough start - and by the time you get to the good units the game is practically over!

    The minute i joined and revived the Scythia thread, everyone started that campaign

    Also, if i could vote, I would vote either Scythia or the Seleucids.

    Seems like The Seleucid Empire crushed all the other the other factions in this poll.

    If it only could do this in the campaign game...

    Germania ended up as a strong number 2.
    Either Germania or Carthage would have got my second vote.

    I prefer the Seluecids, bad starting position, but the best army in the game. Nothing has the same mix of light and heavy cavalry, phalanxes, heavy infantry, elephants, archers and seige.

    Seleucids because you can make both good cav and infantry armies with them (or the best balanced army in the game).

    Oh yea and you can't run out of money with them (sometimes a problem because your generals start getting bad traits after 50,000$)

    Really, I've noticed a bit of corruption in my 2,500,000 denarii game as Egyptians, (YES, THATS RIGHT 2.5 MILLION DENARII)

    How did you manage that?
    BTW a good way to manage your wealth is to wage wars on four fronts or so. Puts you in a bit of a pickle every now and then, but it definately slows down your money making.

    My Favourite Faction is Greek Cities Because they have a cool banner and start in strong places [except Syracuse] for expansion

    Germania is up there on my list as well. The early access to spear warbands and the berserkers rule!

    Scythia, they have access to some quality mercs (Sarmatian, Thracians, Bastarnae) and they're a cav faction and I'm a cav commander.

    Seleucids unit roster can't be beat.

    They have something for every occasion (eventually). Usually I figure, that if I get my first phalanx pikemen without being overrun I'm going to win.
    Nope - no sig what so ever.

    Yeah, once you get out of the dark ages of HA assaulting from all sides you are fine.

    The Seluecids are especially good because once you get to fighting the Romans you have access to your whole tech tree and enough provinces to build SS pikemen, SS legionaries, Cataphracts and Companions.

    I have 1.2..... No bribing for me.

    Though in my recent campaign the romans have been bribing me like crazy. Too bad i don't get the money or I would be rolling in dough. Every turn they try to bribe either Capua, Arretium, Croton or Thermon.

    So far 49 votes.

    I was impressed over how popular Brutii was when comparing to the other romans
    TSE is the most popular faction and Germania second, that don`t seem to change no matter how many votes.

    Nobody actually preffered Britannia, probably `cause of the lack of cavalry.

    Well the Brutii have the nicest position of all the Romans as well as the best temples (Mars, Mercury), so that's probably not that surprising. I played them in my first campaign and they really kicked some ass!

    I have to go with popular opinion, and say the Seleucids. Such a great choice of units. You can go for pikes with cavalry support, train legionaries if you want more of a close range fight, or you can just go crazy and bulldoze the enemy with Elephants and Cataphracts.

    I really like the Germans though for their aggressive axemen. They're a bit more vulnerable than pikemen and legionaries so you're never quite sure if your line is going to hold which makes things more exciting/interesting. It's just a shame they're stuffed when it comes to assaulting large and epic stone walls.

    Seleucids.

    Why? You can pretty much see everyone else who has posted on this.
