Arverni or Aedui,which barb faction to choose

[Imperator of rome]

Hey which barbarian faction is fun to use,send some input please.

[stalin]

They are more or less the same: easier to blitz as Averni (taking away aeduis northern settlements in 3 turns and reaching Massalia in one turn) but the aedui have a Julii generals and the red doesn't go well with the rest of the units.

[Avicenna]

How do they have the Julii generals? The Diadochi fill up the Roman slot.

[stalin]

I dunno but they look like this:

[Moros]

I like them all but the Iberians need a bit more work when talking about units. In some settlements you just can't recruit units (yet). SO I would sya Aedui, Arverni, Sweboz, getai or casse.

Be prepared for some amazing skins with Getai though

[Wardo]

I think he means the Getai are simply ugly, not poorly made.

For example, compare the Getai with the Seleucid "elite" units, the Seleucids are much prettier. It's not EB's fault the Getai armies are uglier than others, if EB has indeed "realistic" skins, then it's the Getai fault for not raising beautifully decorated armies.

I think the early Camillian Roman shields SUCK! I think they should be entirely painted, but they aren't. The skin is great, blame the Romans for not painting all their shields back then for my virtual enjoyment today.

Well that sort of sums up my intent and I am sorry if I managed to offend anyone
