Makedonia, then Baktria and the Tsorim.

I'll stick to Baktria. If the Mauryan Empire was in, I'd probably go for that one instead (first, anyway).

When it is released I will play as Romans. The eastern factions that I've seen in the previews look good, but I'm not a big fan of cavalry and I don't like phalanxes.

They're all very pretty to look at, but in the end i'm going with the SWERBOZ. I enjoyed playing barbarians in Vanilla and RTR, so I know I will Love playing them in EB.

Baktria (Bacteria?) has some of the best skins I've seen along with the Casse.

I enjoy heavy infantry with some support cavalry. Not phalanx or skirmishers, but heavy sword/axe men. I use some skirmishers but in the end it's heavy that wins all my battles. Archers are by far the most useless, not horse, but ground archers. THey seem to do little more than take up room in your army. Unleasing arrows against the Greeks or Romans, to date with what I have (RTR), has been a futile attempt. Heavy armoured Phalangies and Legionnares never fall from arrow shots. So barbarians are the best fit for me.

I'm dieing to see what they did with Rome. I have a feeling they'll save that for the open beta though... :(
