Worst faction?

[Al Khalifah]

I'm not sure if this has been brought up before, but here goes:

Which is the worst faction in R:TW ?

For me it would have to be Britain. There doesn't seem to be anything that they do well and they just feel really disapointing to play. My list of grievances:
No foot archers
No horse cavalry
No siege equipment
Minor city maximum settlement level
No heavy infantry
Weak navy
Only 1 mercanery unit on homeland (that they can recruit anyway)

All this faction seems to do is chariots and to be honest, they're nothing special. They seem to totally rely on strategy and generalship to get anywhere. I also find myself using lots of mercs just to get by - especially Barbarian cavalry. The loss of Belgica really could finish the Britains off since no barbarian cavalry mercs can be recruited in Britain.

Chosen Swordsmen is hardly bad heavy infantry.

And it's the barbarian faction that can get it most quickly, since they have temples that give health bonus, and thus growth.

Good thing with britons is that they are set up that way that they have thier backs covered, so they can focus on conquest more easily. No wonder why briton AI almost always beats german and later gaul AI.

And chariots with archers are handy.
It's not HA though, but it's something.

[Marcellus]

I would say Britain also. Their tech tree is pretty poor, and their range of units is hardly amazing.

There is a thread on this topic, so if you are interested, you may check " What is the worst faction in your opnion?" ( or something like that ).

I would say the generic barbarian factions, Briton, Gaul and Dacia. So bland. The only thing that saves Gaul is the Archers, and Dacia the Falxmen. With Briton, those temples with health bonuses are handy, as it does allow them to upgrade quicker, but apart from that, all 3 of those factions are utter crap.

My warning level is 2!! Finally!! I am a good person, see!?

i haven`t played RTW....since may...i`m not feeling in the mood to play,when i know soon it will appear R:TW-BI ....but to respect the topic....i would say Gaul is the weakest from your point of view...followed by Dacia and Numidia
