Re: Funnest faction
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.

Re: Funnest faction
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.

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...)

Re: Funnest faction
I like Qarthadast (or however it is spelled). Rich, powerful, and some awesome elite infantry and cavalry
Re: Funnest faction
I like Pontus. Small, weak and no elite units to speak of.
Re: Funnest faction
I really want to give Epeiros a try, but I keep having reinforcement CTDs. Right now though, I am in a Baktria campaign and this has been my favorite so far. Weeding your way through the mountains, a kingdom at the edge of the world - it is just cool.
My only problem was that the Seleukids attacked me and that they constantly are at peace with the Ptolemaioi, which makes no sense. I am playing on M/M which is difficult enough of a campaign. I am not expanding nearly as fast as I would like because the Seleukids keep wandering my territories with pezhetairoi and Phalav decided that war was a good idea.
Regardless of this, the campaign is still awesome. Baktrian cavalry is where it is at!
Re: Funnest faction
They're all worth a try, and have their own unique feel. My personal favourites are the Sweboz, Getai and Hayasdan.
When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball
Re: Funnest faction
Perhaps AS is a protectorate of the Ptolemaioi, or vice versa...Originally Posted by abou
