    Here's a vote for Hayasdan. I'm thinking of playing them and would like to see how difficult they are.
    As for the style, depends on how much "heavy added narrative" you put in.

    I've played the Haik extensively in 0.74. They're tough, but not an impossible challenge. I tried a brief Arverni U6 (0.80), campaign. I did a 0.72 Aedui campaign, which was fantastically violent. In the end, I only really survived thanks to [unspeakable] RTW 1.2 diplomacy and the semi-abuse thereof.

    Go for Averni, though Aedui would be a better challange and a better cause.

    If you feel like it, you could try to imagine being a historian from a different faction - not from to far away, but also not directly involved from the start...

    I'd get frustrated more easily as the Aedui, though ;)
    More immediate agonising battles against the [unspeakable] Sweboz/Romani...

    Anyway

    I've just updated my soundtrack.
    It is now suitably weird.

    Authentic Kithara and Aulos pieces together with soundtracks, Genesis and classical composers.

    Edit: Equal votes at the moment.

    The votes by the time I log on after supper will be decisive.

    In the case of the tie, it'll probably go to the Gauls, as I still remember very well my Haikaikan campaign on 0.74.
    So much glory and violence.

    EDIT EDIT:

    Just seen Zim's AAR. Arverni are replaced by Aedui or Lusotannan.

    If you remember your Hayasdan campaign so well, then chose the Arverni.
    Just make sure to have a suitably "cruel" ruler, from time to time.

    I'm beginning to think that I'm a member of some vast conspiracy to put out AARs for all of the factions you're considering before you start yours. It's a pirate led conspiracy, of course. Arrr, we be AAR pirates.

    My vote goes to the Lusotannan. Their unit seems much more complete since this last patch, Their medium spear infantry is great(beats all of my Averni units, save the elite Arjos), and they're the only western faction with a unit resembling a Cataphract. Plus, after losing my own Lusotannan game, it'd be nice to see a more skillful player give them a try.
