Favorite Rome: Total War Faction?

[Artorius Maximus]

Hello. what is your favorite Rome: Total War Faction? Mine in Vanilla Rome: Total War are the Roman Julii family. In some mods, I like to play as the Illyrians.

Good idea to start a thread on this topic Lucius Julius, but don't we already have one on this subject?

[Artorius Maximus]

I tried to look for another one like this, but I didn't see one. Besides, reviving old threads is generally against most Forum's rules, I thought it would apply for this Forum as well. I'm sorry if I broke a rule, I just wanted to have a good chat about the Rome: Total War factions.

Don't worry, no need to be sorry. I personally am sorry for making you feel as if you have to say sorry. So sorry for making you feel sorry. Now my tiny brain is under so much strain working out what I just did that it is on the verge of killing me.

Anyway here is a link to the old thread. And don't trouble yourself about anything, it's easy to miss threads when you are looking down a page - I do it all the time hence the username

If a mod wants to, they can lock this. I just didn't see the other thread, thats all.

[Caius]

I voted the Scipii

[Cimmerian]

Roman Juli family gmv

[lottrbacchus]

but wait a minute, the 'old' thread couldn't have been very old because i voted on this earlier today and it was a multi page thread. eeeek!

[Saulot]

I picked the Roman Sicipii faction, because of interest in the Punic wars, and a general liking for Sicily and southern Italy.

[Zalmoxis]

I like all Roman factions, but I voted Scipii because their uniform looks good.

[Quintus.JC]

I voted for Julii. This is the first R:TW Fave faction poll that the Seleucid don't even come near to majority.

[Caerfanan]

What's enjoyable in a game like this is that you can play several factions!

I dont have a favorite.

This is the first R:TW Fave faction poll that the Seleucid don't even come near to majority.

Yeah,I noticed that.

After playing three short campaigns with the Egyptians, the Macedons and the Julii, I found that Macedon was my favorite faction. It has some nice beginning cities, good units and not a lot of wars in the beginning, so you can at least get your economy up and running. The only downside is the plague, but that can be used to your advantage . Apparently the Thracians have a grudge against my spies at the moment, now why would that be .

cheers,

Weirdly I find that my favourite faction is Macedonia but I rarely play as them. Also I quite like The Seleucid Empire but the reason as to why I do nt play as them often could be their wealth and excellent units. Makes life easier than most factions. What is the attraction to these threads? It seems like there is one in every sub-forum.

Personally i prefurred the Brutii, this is in Vanilla, i never modded Rome.

I could work the units in Brutii better than any other factions, but the greeks were annoying as they came at me with never ending armies

[Spartan198]

In vanilla,the Seleucid Empire (which I voted on the pole above) due to their roster,difficulty,and general positioning right in the middle of a political hornet's nest.
In XGM,the Greek City-States due to that Spartan Royal Bodyguard. Talk about a meat grinder.
In EB,Koinon Hellenon (aka Greek City-States). I like their Spartiatai Hoplitai and Iphikratous Hoplitai.
