    I honestly think EB has done a good job of making all the factions fun for their own unique reasons.

    I think I have had the most fun with this Epeiros campaign, but it really does depend on what type of game play your are looking for when you ask 'who do you recommend'.

    I had a blast as the Casse, I've had a blast as the KH, the Romani are, well, it's Rome, what more do you need to know. Arche Seleukia is a hoot in as much as it's similar to the Western Roman Empire in BI (you start big and thin with everyone nipping at your boarders.)

    Saka, Hayasdan, Getai are fun because you start with one provence and build an empire from scratch.

    I could go on with every faction, but I think I've made my point.

    For an early easy game go with Kart-Hadast. Few defendable borders. Kickass economy and great unit roster.

    It's great how every faction has pretty much been mentioned. Just goes to show you what a great mod EB is and what an incredible job the team has done.

    I've played Casse, Carthage, Rome and Sweboz myself. All of them were superb.

    I have enjoyed most Baktria, Parthia & Epiros in 0.8.

    I am currently playing the Getai in 0.81 on hard and this is an awesome campaign. Back and forward, allied & betray[ed], "Mine is Mine" and next turn "Mine is theirs, damn!"....Wonderful!

    I've definitely enjoyed Macedonia the most, partially because of their military, but also of the strategical flexibility and choices. Their starting position is a lot of fun, having to fight two enemies at once, and then once that is solidified, you have great flexibility. Unlike many nations they do not have very many restrictions to their opponents and have a wide open game: I'm pretty sure the game I had, where I was at war with every major power west of Bactria, is not what most others will have, although their's will most likely be quite unique as well. Being able to go north and fight the people of Dacia, and even the steppe nomads, or west against the barbarians, as well as fight against the four major powers in the area (after eliminating K.H/Epiros), all of which would provide a quite different campaign. For me, it was most exciting doing all of that at the same time.

    I don't know which is the most funiest faction to play,but surely the most NOT funiest faction to play is Casse...
    For my point of view of course...
    You must have too much patience...
    Lusitania is pretty good faction and become better and better as the game goes on and you must fight 2 fronts,Romans and Qarthadast...

    Oo, I loved the Casse. It was a big difference not being thrust into war from the get go. You get to build up and expand, take over the island, and build up again before invading the mainland. It's a fun style. Cool units too, unique barbarians.

    And they are definitely colorful, even for Celts.
    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."
