Makedonia was really fun for me. It was nice to be thrown straight into war with the enemy at your gates and your army in KH territory!! And not to mention you're at war with the Getai...Talk about multi-fronted war

It's also fun to have such a strong successor army and a little empire. It gives you so much potential to go out and conquer the lands that are rightfully yours! And when you finally have that big empire and are duking it out with the Silver Death, it's just a lot of fun. Then, you start to reminisce of your origins...conquering the Greek peninsula and how everything seemed so simple... in hindsight atleast. har har

I agree. Makedon has been a lot of fun for me. Although right now the Getai and I are on pretty good terms. Which is nice since I have to focus all my energy on Selucia right now. We're sort of in a bloody war over Asia Minor. I control it but they keep sending troops.

Ah, fighting AS was fun. For some reason they don't like me occupying their cities

and thats when I encountered 5-6 stacks attacking one major city within a year and a half...year after year

har har (victorious though

Haven't had that happen yet. AS is quite occupied with other factions and is spread pretty thin. But they still manage to send small forces against me in little waves. And they always seem to be rather elite units.

On another note about Makedonia. They have in my opinion the coolest unit, or at least the most fun to use and that is the Agrianian Assault Infantry. I've had much fun with those little guys. They've been good flankers for me

I´ve really enjoyed playing as Pontus.
After you´ve sacked Ankyra, its quite fun to kick all other factions bottoms with those heavy spearmen.
And there are some cool regionals too, but....nahh my lips are sealed

But anyway, i had some great evenings with this great faction.

So long,
Julian

I go with Lusotannian (sp?) they r most fun w. their ambushing skills

When I tried to conquer the whole Spain pennisuala w. the last city, the script actived w. a full stack of Illberian attack my army. At 1st my experiences dealing w. rebels and fight w. weaker army was not enough to take them w. my 3/4 stack warriors. But after several defeats, I ambushed them in the forest, and like in the descriptions of Illberian units, soooo cool - the whole of ur army hide and then throwing every javelins to shocked and confused enemies and slaughter them afterward. I started conquering Europe ever since ^^. By the time facing w. babarian factions, reading the naked fanatic warriors of ripping javelins off their bodies and throw back - I though "tough guys huh, okey, it costs them 1 arm per javelins, the median javelins per men in my army was 3, that's enough for 5 javs per those naked guys

and it worked as intended :p

There are a number of new units that might become a lot of folks' favorite ones, if we can just get the build on out to you guys. I really like one in the Crimea, one in India, a couple in Danube regions, a north african one, and a heavy cav one. There are enough to really sway folks into going after places they hadn't been in such a rush to get before. All our guys are doing great, but I must say stefan is cranking out units like a Mountain Dew junkie who just got a new computer and is living somewhere it's raining all the time outside. He's shown like four or five new units that he's just made today.

I prefer to play with the smaller empires and take a new territory as I get a new general. Rome is always my favourite, but Makedonia and Casse are good too.

The only thing that sometimes spoils it for me is I don't like to conquor territories that my chosen faction didn't actually own, and I don't like having territories with no governor, so I wait til I have a new general. It does limit some factions somewhat.

Maybe I'm just a sad b@$t@rd?

I love trying to survive as Pontos. I've reached the point where I start a game and think: "Why wait? The Seleukids are going to BS me anyways" so I just take Mazaka now and proceed from there. Trying to expand after the initial burst is rough because of the constant Seleukid stacks, but its a bit easier to manage when they aren't a half-turn march away from your capital...
