barbarians first, definitely. i love the look of those units, esp the soldurii (german?)

then seleukids, or possibly ptolemaii. It's unfortunate that egpyt was so lame in vanilla, because i loved playing those faction in MTW (turks, almohads etc), very differnt game playing as some of the lighter, middle eastern units.

also, i can't wait to see what's being done about more of the eastern units, armenians, parthians etc
