    I guess I'll play the Sassanid empire. Looks like the they're the only civilized non-roman faction, and they're the Persians making a comeback so that's cool. Not to mention that they have elephants Perhaps I'll first grab the Middle East and then expand north of Caucasus to the steppes and strike the Huns in the back when they're busy fighting other factions...

    RTW, 167 BC: Rome expels Greek philosophers after the Lex Fannia law is passed. This bans the effete and nasty Greek practice of 'philosophy' in favour of more manly, properly Roman pursuits that don't involve quite so much thinking.

    Probably the Romans, as CA in their infinite wisdom will probably make us play a roman campaign first again.

    Probably:
    Western Roman Empire
    than maybe Eastern Romans, Sassanids or Huns.

    Romano-Britons, then Eastern roman empire, after that?? huns or sanassids.
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...

    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.

    I'd go for Eastern Roman Empire. The Byzantines were always my fav in mtw and it will be a thrill to play as them in an earlier time. After that I'm going for the Huns

    Not necessary anymore :
    Fortunately, you don’t necessarily have to play as the Romans! BI includes 10 brand new playable factions, (and some more that you’ll get the chance to meet during the game).
    Hopefully is it possible to play those unplayable.

    Agree with Conqueror about civ. and eles.
    Ironically enough what I don`t like about BI is all the barbarians.

    I think I`ll play either the Vandals(exciting history) or Sassanids(eles) first time, perhaps even the eastern roman empire who`s now looking more greek and persian like.

    Simply can`t choose.
    Runes for good luck:

    i'll play ROME, cuz i'll be attacked from all sides. maybe they aren't the most interesting, but legionares are always fun, and now they're the hardest insted of the easiest.

    Me thinks that the trainer campaign will probably be a Hun one, atleast not Western Empire since that seems too overwhelming as a trainer campaign.
    Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.
