RTW:Which faction do u think is the most FUN to play ?

[Monarch]

p.s. one thing i dont like about this game, almost every faction except rome has phalanxes. barbarians who cant even move together in a orderly manner can form a tightly arranged phalanx formation? most infantry for other factions except barbarians and romans are all spearman phalanxes? this cheapens the idea of a phalanx and takes much fun of them.

That's because most the factions you are refering to are Alexander's successor states, so egypt, seleucid, greek cities, macedon, etc etc so they do use phalanxes. Greek Cities without phalanxes just wouldn't work. So it's historical really.

Edit: And it's only Germany who can form phalanxes that's a 'little' out there. Thracian armies IIRC did pick up greek ways as they lived so close. They are sort of a blend between civilization and barbarism.
