Funnest faction

[-Praetor-]

aeduii/arverni/getai.

I dunno, they have that little something...

[Teleklos Archelaou]

I've been working on making the carthaginians and makedonians more fun. Can't say anything other than that though.

[CountArach]

I am a huge fan of Epiros, there are so many different choices at the start in regards to where you go.

[Avicenna]

Not the Yuezhi, that's for sure. Endless steppes and no cash to speak of.

[Mujalumbo]

Yah, no kidding. Nor are the Sauromatae. Endless hordes of highly experienced rebels, plummetting cash... I think the nomadic faction overhaul will make things a little more interesting.

Those central factions are fun - Epeiros, Koinon Hellenon, Makedonia. With Tylis right there for the taking, you get a nice range of troops. It'll be even better once .8 comes out and you get those sweet peltasts.

[scourgeofrome]

I personally think just about veryone is fun except the nomads and Partha (okay Partha is fun, but I stink at using cavalry). My personal favorites are Epiros,Baktria,Romani, and Carthage.

[Discoskull]

Casse. You get your own freakin' island! All trade in the north seas must pass through your ports!

You knew I was going to say this...

(I also have Carthage, Epeiros, and Ptolemaioi campaigns running...and these make me happy...except for the Vast Wasteland of Boredom that is Arabia...having the parthians there somehow messes with the experience...oh, and I suspect AS would be quite fun, though I haven't had the patience to get past 270 BC... )

[Tellos Athenaios]

aeduii/arverni/getai.

I dunno, they have that little something...

Some very ferocious warriors, perhaps, that each time they are present stir up the action? A tremendously good feeling, after having carved out your empire at the cost of some so-called civilised faction?

[Pelopidas]

I agree on KH.
The feeling of a strong Hellenic league who attract all the former colonies in his political array, at the depends of their vicious and cruel conquerors :D

[Tuuvi]

I like Pontus, It is the only faction I have played past 265 BC. Greeks, Barbarians, Iranians all at your disposal.

[NeoSpartan]

My favorites are Aedui and KH.

With the Aedui in H/H, u got to be quick on your feet to get rid of the Arverni without loosing too many soldiers. Because a few years later, the Romans with their ultra-armored Triarii will come rolling. (+ u get a kick at avenging Virsongeterix [sp] even though he was an Arverni)

With the KH, the little guys of the Hellas. Trying to get Makedon and/or Epiros off thier backs. And then, both AS and Potlemoi gang up on you.

The Romani will be fun in .8, when I don't have to wait houndreds of turns for a REFORM!

[Musopticon?]

It's Vergingetorix(from "Gingeto the God King").

And yes, the enhanced celts are what raises EB over other mods for me. Well, above everything else except RTR Platinum. They get the least attention of all the factions and powers of the age even though they had a highly refined culture and the major power of Classic Europe. I think all the information and lore is utterly fascinating even though I don't exactly like to play as them.

[Aranor]

For me its Getai all the way. The combination of their drapini falxmen with the phalanx units is simply awesome! They also have great skirmishers! their archers have some of the best ranges in the game plus they have a very good mellee skill. ( Komotai have the same melee stats as the drapini ) All they need is a good heavy cav and a medium armoured swordsman unit and they would be unstoppable!
