For me the most fun faction is scythia because I like axsemen.

offline, i don't know how to play online - Some Random n00b. Maybe he was registered here.
Carthage without a doubt. The array of units, the starting position, just everything really. I usually play on either M/M or VH/M but I prefer M/M to be honest.
Playing as Carthage is also a lot more fun if you impose certain rules on yourself (which I saw in one of the PBeM's here at the .org) such as, have to invade Rome via the alps, etc.
Now that I've downloaded EB, I've got to say that EB is the most fun to play. It's not just a mindless rush to build masses of units and conquer like vanilla, with the rebels not only being a little better, but often even more of a challenge to conquer than the main factions! (Over a full stack in most rebellious cities) The fun factions would probably be the more completed ones at the moment, such as the Greeks with their special touches (Olympic games and Greek UI, and a decent amount of units) and challenging starting position, the Romans (not playing them yet though, don't like having the Greek Romans).

Well, an advantage would be putting all taxes on VH. A disadvantage would be that everyone is going against you.

Vanilla RTW has to be the Romans. CA designed the game around the romans, so they are by far the most fun to play.
Im much more of a BI fan, and it would be a toss up between the Huns and Franks for me. I love horse archer dependant armies, and the heerbahns of the franks are great.

I'd say Dacia. Although it was originally unplayable, it's pretty easy to conjure up huge mobs of infantry able to smash Thrace and Macedon within a few turns. Pontus also is a good option, and its not as easy. Carthage has really complicated diplomatic relations, if you're into that.
