My next campaign and possible AAR

[LordCurlyton]

Well, pending some answers regarding queries into my newly acquired Marian Reforms in my 0.81a Romani campaign (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=82421 for those interested) it will be soon that I start a new campaign in this glorious mod (Oh the hours of my life it has sucked away already!).
This time I am thinking I may want to jump on the AAR bandwagon and give it a whirl. Nothing fancy, just quite literally a campaign progress report, with a little flavor as well to help others see the game and its situations as I do.
However, I am sorta stuck on which faction to play. If I do an AAR I definitely want it to be one that doesn't get too many written about it (see KH, Carthage, Rome, Epeiros, Celtics, Pontus) and I also want one that will give me a fresh and fun unit list (well all are fun for the most part). I have played as the Romani twice, Carthage once, and as the Sweboz once.
So far I've eliminated basically any western faction either through actually playing them or through encountering their unit list a lot. Also, as mentioned, KH, Epeiros, and Pontus are also nixed. Of the remaining ones, I am probably going to avoid the Saka and Saba, since the particular challenges presented to them don't strike me as my cup of tea.
Of the remaining, I'm basically willing to try any of them out. As of right now, my first tier choices would be: Sauromatae (chance to see nomad faction/gov), Ptolies (they never get any love), or Baktria (Indian units...), though the recent Baktria AAR has made me waver since I wouldn't want to do a faction repeat unless the mob wanted it. The Maks, AS, and Pahlava are all contenders but unless a strong mob response is indicated will probably be left for later. The Hayasdan could be interesting but I thought there were still a few kinks (like missing sewer complex of buildings) so I am taking a mulligan on them.
Soooo, my question is: which faction do you think I should play and/or which one would you most like to see a new AAR about? I won't bother making it a poll since it will prolly be a couple weeks until I start the new, but no shame in planning ahead (and heck, I may start it while finishing the Roman one).
As always, thank you for any replies.

Sauromatae sounds interesting. The Ptolemies aren't really that different in their unit lineup...

Play Hayasdan and expand in the way the Sauromatae usually do. They have the units for steppe fighting and it's going to be a unique AAR regardless. I played one for awhile doing that and it was more interesting expanding in the unknown wastelands and fighting reclusive nomads than fighting endless hordes of successor infantry.

Go for the Sauromatae. Nobody has done a decent AAR on the steppe factions (Sauromatae, Saka). The Pahlava already have one of the best AAR:s of all time.
As for the problem with the Hayasdan sewers and missing health buildings, you can add them trough changes in your EDB. I did it for the Hai and Saba along with descriptions for the missing buildings in textfiles for the Sabyn.
Apart from that minor issue the Hayasdan have are very complete with a varied and interesting unit roster.

Are we talking about the same thing ?
Barbarossa's Armenian AAR ?

Go for Sourmotties (yes I spelled it wrong) I never play Steppe factions so you can play them for me.

[Zim]

I wouldn't mind seeing a Ptolie AAR. If I hadn't ended up in the Carthage Challenge, I'd probably be playing them right now. I also really like the Macedonian unit roster, and who wouldn't want to recreate Alexander the Great's Conquest?

My 2 cents(heck, maybe only worth 1 cent, if that much).
