    Oh, well...
    The French? Brasil anyone?

    the mere fact that EB calls their troops by their Latin names says enough..
    That's my point...Rome is the faction we know most about. Isn't it a lot more interesting to view other less known factions?

    And...

    My thoughts exactly...not to mention many people (including CA) have this preconceived idea that other cultures were mere bumps in road of Rome becoming an Empire. Rome's ascendency was far from being inevitable.

    To me it's much more fun crushing the Romans than to play with them...In vanilla I used to ferry troops around the map and keep the romans from expanding too much. Many a times did I recuperate the Macedons, the Greeks, the Carthaginians, the Iberians and all those other factions from being swept away by the Roman flood. Hopefully, EB will change all this.

    Nice last sentence Sarcasm

    I voted Ptolemees; a very cool little kingdom, arguably the center of hellenic culture and knowledge.
    A.E.I.O.U.

    Austria Est Imperare Orbi Universo
    Austria is destined to rule the world.

    (Or, as the Prussians interpretated it:
    Austria Erit In Orbe Ultima
    Austria will one day be lowest in the world.)

    Little kingdom? I think it's one of the most powerfull factions at the beginning of the game.
