Worst faction?

[Kekvit Irae]

Gauls? Weakest? Maybe at the very start when the forces are spread out, but consolidate and march on Rome, and you have a force to be reckoned with (read my post in the Gaul thread in the RTW Guides for more info).

I would have to go with Numidia for worst faction. Look at them, they border Egypt and Carthage! If that doesnt spell doom, I dont know what does.

I would say numidia. They dont really have anything that great. The have their javlemen, but the dont have anything that can fight close range.

Its pointless playing Numidia. Utterly pointless.

Britons are OK. And they have a decent yet challenging roster of units.

[Conqueror]

The point of playing Numidia is for the challenge. It's quite nice actually, to have to make do without any elite units at all.

Well the most boring to play as imo is Scythia. (yaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn)

But that weakest has to be Numidia. The people who have posted in this thread seem to be divided between those two ideas.

sychtia is fun to play in rtr, but i have never seen numidia fun to play. I'm really glad EB chopped um.

I think the Brits are a great faction to play... i would say the worst would be Numida

[pezhetairoi]

Numidia! At least the Britannic saving grace is chariotry...

Numidia is OMG. What, you start out with complete s*** troops called javelinmen that just toss toothpicks at everyone that hurts no one? It takes you forever to get desert infantry, and it takes you FOREVER (with underline) to get ANYWHERE, Carthage included! Let's face it... if you're an early-stage campaigner who just plays campaigns in the early stage to see how efficient you are at starting up, for Macedon you can stop at the Balkans, for the Julii at Gaul, for the Egyptians at half the Seleucid Empire... for the Numidians? If you can even reach Carthage you're good. Jeez. I'm so glad Bartix replaced Numidia in EB.
