    I'd say Pontos, if only because you'll be in a lot of trouble very quickly and for a very long time. Even if you establish a solid base, you are against an invisible timer that can go off without warning....can you become strong enough to go toe to toe with the Seleukids(or the Ptolies, if they steamroll hard enough)? I say the timer is invisible because you cannot truly see it or know when it will expire. I do have an excellent opening, but I think I am simply too slow in executing the next part and thus end up fighting a slow but undeniably losing battle as the Seleukids slowly grind my strength away, and drain me of the power to resist them. So I'm interested in seeing how a different player can approach and deal with the challenges presented by Pontos and their uniquely precarious and dangerous situation...
    Pontos rocks!

    Rome! Not only being the namesake of the game which is modded but also infinitely cooler with all the work the EB team has done. Though I doubt I'll ever manage a Triumphus since I tend to try and avoid situations where I do not already have the advantage.

    Getting Triumphuses are a little easier when you're playing with 10 unit legions :-p.
    Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.

    Well I would have suggested the Seleukids comsidering that's what my next faction will be, but if you really don't want to play them then... Rome or Egypt . The Ptolemies are rich, have the greatest city in the game when it starts, posess the body of Alexandros, have quick access to elephants if they choose to move South, and have the great honour of being the only faction the Seleukids fear (at least at the start).

    Rome is simply the best faction in the game. Period.

    if i was you go for the one with the lowest votes because people dont play it because it's hardest, thats the one you'll get most fun out of.

    Not necessarily, I thnik that Lusotana and Sabyn have the lowest votes right now because they're partially incomplete.
