    well i would say definately go for a fully complete faction... it is kinda boring not having all your units that you should have available
    now i haven't played EB in a while (saving space on my computer and waiting for 0.8) so i've forgotton which factions are complete, however i loved playing as the makedonians
    all in all however you should just find a fighting style you like using the custom battles and then go for that faction

    I've heard that Koinon Hellenon is a challenge and it's quite complete right now already.

    I'm having loads of fun with the Getai.

    Great unit selection! Emulate the Romans or the Greeks or go for cavalry madness with Horse Archers and everything. You'll enjoy fighting anybody.

    Too bad we can't "revert" the civilized cities into barbarian cities, I'd like to turn some rebel settlements that developed into large cities back to barb towns.

    The greatest faction that I have ever played (And I have played most of them) is Epiros. It was so much fun to be fighting the Romans in Italy and the Maks in Greece. The first few turns are realy really hard. THe faction is also pretty complete (Chaeonian Guard are brilliant!).

    Although I can also recommend Casse because they are so different to more 'civilised' factions.

    Yeah! I really don't know why you can't destroy some structures (palaces, farms). I'd really like to be able to devastate border areas and then retreat leaving them to switch back to my opponent (or trade them back for temporary truces!).
