    Bartix.

    But after that, i think i'll play as the casse. i always wanted to play as them in vanilla, but their units were so boring...

    Not to mention the "Head hurlersr"

    Karthadastim. Just to have fun reading the Hebrew unit names.

    They'll be playable, just as in vanilla. You'll just have to tweak descr_strat a bit.

    I miss the option "don't know yet"
    They are all cool.
    My favorites are Koinon Hellenon,Baktria,Sweboz,Aedui,Sauromatae,Pahlava,Iberia and Casse.
    The list could be become longer

    Just a note, while we're using Hebrew to assist with the transliteration, as much as possible the unit names will be Punic. Which will, of course, be very close to Hebrew, but there are differences.

    can't decide between sweboz and karthadashtim.

    btw, why "karthadashtim" and not "tsorim" or "ponnim"?
    now i'm here, and history is vindicated.

    The Eleutheroi. Because there's nothing more satisfying than sacking Rome with a bunch of supposedly-insignificant soldiers. I mean, who expects the great civilisations to be toppled by the Eleutheroi?

    After that, the Tsorim. They're my favorite empire of the period.

    Bactria, strangers in a strange land. Struggling to skeep the torch of Hellenism alive while enisled by barbarians on all asides. The only greeks anywhere near them are more interested in being masters than brothers. An epic tale by any measure.

    Good to see Baktria is leading the poll, go Baktria!

    But how can those romans be so popular

    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.

    Romans are nice. but then: i like javelinmen and other skirmishers (except bowmen..but thats just because of vanilla)

    I picked a Roman faction, just because I haven't done any RTW in awhile, and to see how they're done. However, I could imagine myself easily playing as another faction.

    Voted Pontos because it seems that it will be very challenging to play as them in the campaign an also I like the mix of hellenic and eastern units.

    Yes, I know. But other than pronunciation, the only differences are vocabulary, and those are not insignificant, but not very large either.

    As was said when the Tsorim were previewed, the name was subject to change. It has been changed to Karthadastim.

    My first three will be

    1. Casse, for that Barbarian Feel
    then...
    2. Baktria, for that Greek Feel
    and finally.....
    3. Rome...Cos i feel like it
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...
