Your factions deciding factor

good defensive position.

Unique Campaign - Carthaginians and Gauls in RTW, Byzantine Late in MTW, etc.

Money-money-money! Always go for the money, war is not about weapons, really, but about financing it. IMHO.

actually, I'd prefer to say a bad defensive position

The more I'm forced to expand or turtle initially, the better. If it looks like a death-trap, I'm in for it.

I salute your spirit! While not actually sharing the same perspective!

I am really bad at mananging economics and have to play the superpower factions in order to survive.

I voted for good units -- but I actually meant historically accurate units (or at least something approaching accurate) -- not that I'm an expert. It just isn't terribly fun for me playing a faction with a large number of (what I think of as) fantasy units.

I would go with good economics. I am bad at handling economics, so having a naturally good position would help. Plus, bribing people and stealing their generals is fun

,until I go overboard and causing myself to go broke

I like to try them all...

There is not a faction in RTW I have not at least tried a campaign as...

I personally like a non defensive position. Thus i am picking the holy roman empire. I dislike only my later units fighting. I look forward to my opponents starting a few wars at start, and only one will survive. Then turning my eyes to some of the greater challenges. I mean if I can survive as HRE I can easily play the other factions.

I generally go for factions that interest me historically, followed by an interesting unit roster.

My plan is to revel in the most likely fairly historical Venetian unit roster, creating a vast trade empire, then over run the world with the Scot's BraveHeart knockoffs.
