which is your favorite faction(rtw)

[Motep]

Which is your favorite faction and why? Mine is the greek because hellenism just fascinates me , they have one of the richest cultures in the game and I strive to make them a great enough empire to live up to their name.

[pvt_isaac]

Gaul. They have an early disadvantage, being surrounded on all sides, and pretty weak units until you can recruit good stuff like the Forrester Warband and stronger cavalry. So fun to play.

[Caius]

Scipii!

[Roman_Man#3]

numidia

[Lucjan]

Pontus or Illyria (RTR)

[Glaucus]

Macedon. Replicate Alexander... and in RTR its awesome!!

[shizzernockers3]

carthage number 1

[professorspatula]

Dacia. A Falx a day, keeps nasty Romans away.

Post count +1, yay me.

[Kralizec]

Macedon in vanilla RTW.

Pontus in RTR.

Epeiros in EB.

[MaddMann]

Macedonia was to limited and unrealistic.

[Kralizec]

Macedonia was arguably the most realistic and historically accurate faction in the original game. What bugged be is that the companions were weaker then Praetorian cavalry (overpowerd just like all Marian units)
None of the other vanilla RTW factions really did anything for me, but then again it didn't take long before I started playing modifications only.

[Motep]

I hear ya...they should have made the macedonians more powerful. They completely undervalued their pikemen, and they arent fun to play unless you edit their edu stats. Also....madmann, dont post like that again.

[Roy1991]

Can't choose between Carthage and Seleucia.
I like them mainly because of their unit rosters.

[Motep]

Take it yopu have a thing for elephants? Im forced to agree that they have some of the best units (actually selucids do)

[Jesenjin]

In my book brutii are the best but objectively the winner would be selucids thanks to their most flexible army!

[Motep]

yeah brutii are good...im forced to love em more than the other romans as they were the first faction ive ever played.

[naut]

Rule Britannia, Swing low sweet chariot(s).

[Steistas]

Thrace.
They're not the best, but I like the mix of hoplites and barbarian warriors.

[dacdac]

where is the Germania love, huh? With the location that they are in, There aren't too many enemies, Rome usually allies with you, bersekers beat any other infantry, and the phalanx can hold them there while the berserkers massacre them from the flanks. I always have at least 4 with each army.

[satchef1]

Thrace
For some reason the idea of making Falxmen charge head on into charging cavalry then imagining the bloody mess as horse legs get cleaved off really appeals to me...

[Caius]

yeah brutii are good...im forced to love em more than the other romans as they were the first faction ive ever played.

They expand their troops to Grecce and Macedon.They are so fast for conquering that enemies.But i select the Scipii. The Scipii can be slow, but i like the way they play

[Craterus]

Gotta be Macedon.

[Ozzfest20]

Tharace: I like the mix of Greek and Barbarian.

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

Seleciud is good. Good Spears, Cav and Eles :-)

[Motep]

Forced to agree...but I really hate playing them on campaigns, as they dont get the good units untill late in the game(and by that tme, you have lost most of your lands.)

[Monarch]

Spain, because I felt sorry for them that nobody else was voting for them.

[Craterus]

Macedon and Thrace are leading...

Macedon I can understand.
Thrace, however,

[maximus overlord]

gotta be julii

[highlanddave]

selucids are the only faction i won the 50 territories with. i haven't played rome tw in awhile. when i did i normally picked the short campaign. for selucids you gotta learn the proper timing of raising and lowering spears during battle to maximize their pikemen performance. elephants are fun, too.
