[BHCWarman88]

Sassdians....Seleciud....My Heros....my Empires....

[Garvanko]

Sassanids.

Though the Huns have great Cav.

[Mithras]

Western Roman empire.

....what once was will be again!

[econ21]

WRE for me too. I like a "backs to the wall" situation and can't watch the excellent BI introductory movie without rooting for the Romans. Let's face it - what's the more noble endeavour, to protect a civilisation or to pillage it? And the Romans have to be in red, of course.

[Unforgivable-Fenrir]

I liked the celtics the most out of all the other factions. This is because they could take british isle easily, and that they had some really awesome good units to fight with

[Avicenna]

Warman... the Sassanids and Selucids are radically different. The Sassanids are essentially a Persian successor dynasty. The Selucids were the goverened by the Greeks who had taken over the first famous Persian dynasty, the Achamenids (there have been others in the past, but never as famous or large as the Achamenids).

[Viking]

My favourites are above all the Sassanids, then the Western Roman Empire.

[Shadows]

Franks or the Goths. The Franks have those awesome axe-throwing infantry. How do you beat that?!?! Seriously, there are like skirmishers that can actually fight. And I like the Goths because although you have to fight off the Hordes or go Horde yourself, you have time to buildup some forces before they attack you, making horde battles a little bit more fun, since you actually have a chance. Not like when you play Sarmartians, you are attacked maybe 5 turns in and have little or no forces to fight with.

[Dutch_guy]

Western Roman Empire and the Franks.

[Keba]

Western Roman Empire, I love a good challenge, the Celts a close second.

[tibilicus]

At the moment roxalani.

I never really have a perminant faction I like.

[Andejar]

i like the franks because they have a good selection of everything except horse archer and I don't like horse archers anyway so the fit me well

[Animal]

I've played WRE, ERE, Sassanids, Sarmatians and Saxons. I'd have to say that my favorite faction is the Saxons, although the WRE and ERE were a lot of fun with their units, and challenging with regard to their situations.

[Alex the conqueror]

ERE the best

[Kambyses]

Hiya;
Sassanids is my favorite.They were not only the most powerful faction in the game ,But Historically they alongside Romans were the only Civilized faction in the are represented in the game.

[Dave1984]

I've played the ERE, Sassanids, Saxons and Franks and I have to say I'd go for the Franks as my favourite.

I love the look of them, and a mass of francisca thrown before a charge is so much more satisfying than a load of pila!

[danfda]

As far as BI is concerned, I think I enjoyed the Celts the most... I find a certain level of satisfaction taking a tiny province and turning it into a global power. I found it perversely enjoying to slaughter the great cities of the Romans (esp. Rome) and convert the remaining populace to Paganism... They (the Celts) did have a tendancy to develop bad vnv's... So I spent a lot of the time running around suiciding those idiots that I did not want to ascend to the throne. Laughs.

In standard RTW, I liked the Selucids (spelling?). Great array of soldiery, good economy, a chance to smash the Eggies, and a level of cultured history that I found pleasing. And yes, I am hypocritical, but you see, Rome is overrated...

Though, a good friend of mine thought my fondness for sacking Jerusalem, letting it revolt, and sacking it once more (ad infinitum) was disturbing. Meh.

[Lucjan]

Personally I wish I could play as the slavs, but the game ctd's when you try to make them playable in the campaign. Heritage thing..it'd be nice to settle the horde down in Poland and turn it into the superpower that brought Rome to it's knees.

In vanilla my favorite faction was Pontus.

[Lucjan]

Er..sorry, forgot to actually mention what my favorite is.

Since I can't play the slavs, I find the Alemani to be the most interesting, they've got a whole slew of oppertunities to expand for someone who can take a small army and know how to defeat one 2-3 times the size of it. So it fits me just fine.
