Favorite EB Faction!

I'm sure this has been done before, but as I haven't posted in awhile, I've decided to make it happen all over again.

Personally, I'm a fan of the Greek Successor States, but since I need to pick one, I guess Bactria is my choice. Either its cause their colour is blue, their geography is cool, or it looks like I could do some nice things with them. Although, all of the above sounds abour right.

So, what's you're favorite EB faction?

I think it has to be Pontos. They really have my favourite units and have a fierce starting position.

Bactria is my favourite faction when it comes to looks, i think all those units are extremely beautiful. May become my favourite faction, I also fell for the blue color.

in vanilla rtw it's carthage.

in EB.. hard to say. probably the tsorim, and aedui.. and swêbōz..

but i agree, the bactrians are probably the prettiest.

Cant wait for Bactria.

My favourite faction in Vanilla - Rome - has yet to be previewed, so I can't say for sure, but of those we've been shown, Makedonia is my favourite (I just finished "Alexander the Great" by Robin Lane Fox

).

My favourite so far looks to be the sweboz. Nice central location for European domination. The Seleucids... they look enviable, but given their size I have doubts about whether the team can prevent them from being fundamentally overpowered.

big size hurts it, rebellion, many enemies, and a long way to transport troops.

Baktria looks cool, but I may also go for the Casse or Aedui first too. All factions are really good looking, though I don't know if I'll play any of the Successor States at first.

I might go for a more cavalry military like Parthia. Although, many of the Greek successors have nice cavalry and infantry, like Baktria, I think. I could always take over half the Seleucid Empire instead of letting the Parthians get the pleasure.

As someone who has been playing them, the Casse are sorta fun and are a good faction to play while wanting to see what the "mainlanders" are doing on their own. Of course I'm partial to Baktria and Pontos, and the "GreekCities" too, among others.
