    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.

    From the ones previewed so far, I like Tsorim and Bactria most. The former would be nice choise for naval domination of the Med and warring with big powers like Ptolemies. The latter has nice units and a very interesting starting position

    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.

    Certainly the Aedui with their varied units and a good challenge when trying to unite the Celtic people. Tsorim also looks good.

    But yeah thank Atlantis, I see the Seleucid problem now. Interesting that right at the start the Seleucids are going to get their eastern rump wiped out.

    Alright, it's not the best song of rebellion, but it's the only one I can think of at the moment. Anyway, you (hopefully) get the point.

    Edit: seriously, when EB is released, can someone release a patch- official or not, it doesn't matter- to make the rebels playable? I would do it myself, but I can't mod worth a damn.
