    Pahlav, Carthage, and most of the Successors . I've played them but never more than a few (10-80) turns. Barbarians and some of the eastern kingdoms really fit my style of warfare .

    I only played Romans, Casse and Sauromatae (completed a campaign with the Casse and will complete my Sauromatae one in the coming weeks, the Romani one ended in ~200 with a CTD in 0.8). Tried the Lusitans but after playing the Casse I got lured by the steppes. I\m waiting for 1.0 to play a great Getai campaign.
    I never found the Greek factions or the Successors interesting so far, I find phalanx vs phalanx warfare boring, but I will play a campaign with one of them in 0.9 which will hopefully be released in July (just a hunch).

    Strange, me too think the successors a bit boring, but not the KH, that i played really a lot (in 0.74), pheraphs because it has not uber phalanx? (anyway in my case, it is somehtink more related with the appeal it has on me, not related with the game mechanics)

    Me too i have planned to start a getai campaign in the 1.0

    it happens to me that every new EB build, i restart a new campaign from one of the same 4/5 favorite factions... and i dont go to see what's new in some of the other factions... pheraphs it is the mod that is too huge...

    Usually as it appear a new version of the mod, the first think i go to check, is if there is somethink new to Chartage, Pahlav, Rome, Sauromate, Lusitania, Gauls or KH and then start a new campaign with one of the 4/5 favorite factions.

    The ones I haven't played as yet:
    Saka and saba (only for a few turns).

    I guess I'm almost there.

    hmmm haven't played any of the eastern factions yet. the whole horsearcher action is not my thing, although I have to admit I use them more often now as support than I did before.

    Mainly played the Romans, atm playing a campaign with Makedonia and I have to say I like it. Had some tough fighting until I controlled Greece and Southern Italy. I'm now at peace with the Romans and started to expand into Asia Minor. The Seleukides send REALLY good stacks at me with all the best units they can gather and I'm having some great battles.

    Waiting for 1.0 to play with Pontus and I'd like to try Armenia as well later on.

    Started a campaign with the Ptolies but got bored pretty soon, same with the AS.

    The barbarians and KH don't attract me at all, don't know why actually, not that they are not great factions but I just don't feel like playing with them.

    The ones I haven't played yet: Any faction on the east side of Epeiros with the exception of Baktria once. Every faction on the west side of Epeiros has had a go at least once.

    I would like to play as the Ptolemaioi some time too, but I just can't deal with their campaign map UI. I'm too lazy to change back to the old vanilla style too, so I guess I'll just have to blame myself. I just pray that Saba doesn't use the same, so that I can play them with no harm when my computer works again.

    I've played with Casse, Aedui, Arvernii, Sweboz, Carthage, Romans, Epirus, Macedon, KH, Seleucids, Ptolemaics, Parthia, Bactria and Saka. Still missing Lusotania, Getai, Sarmatia, Pontus, Hayasdan and Saba. Pretty obvious to say I have never gotten past 190bc.
