Which faction are you most interested in historically?

[Sarcasm]

Divinius- I don't mean to flog a dead horse here, but you are taking a rather Anglocentric view on America. Actually, I would rather say that the Spanish and French were the founders of America, and that the British, for the most part, came later.



Oh, well...

The French? Brasil anyone?

Well. Iberia is nice. but there's just too little information...
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...

After becoming infatuated with these ancient traders and the histories of the Gaulish tribes I have grown to despise the Romans wholeheartedly. Pax Romana is a disgusting term and is kin to phrases any politician crafts to bring their people to heel around a noble idea, skewed into the domination and destruction of different cultures.

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.

Roma delenda est!

Nice last sentence Sarcasm

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

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