    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.

    Factions I have not yet played.
    - Aedui
    -Averni
    -Casse
    - Lusitann
    -Samauratae
    For some reason I can not seem to play as barbarians.

    I usually play with one of the Successor Kingdoms. I played too much as Rome in other mods so usually for EB I go with Seleucid, Makedon, Pahlava, Hayasdan, Baktra, and Epiros. But my favorite is Seleuceia.

    Default AW: what are the faction you never played so far?

    My first campaign was with Casse (for testing), and it lasted one evening or two years - I was destroyed by the rebels. Then I started a Roman campaign, which lastes until 250 BC, then I got bored. Now I'm playing Makedonia (anyone who didn't notice it yet?) since EVER and it's 209 BC now, and every turn takes ages. But I have to say I really love their troop selection. It's just working perfect for me.

    What I most likely won't play are:

    Koinon Greeks. They never had much appeal for me. Always sticking in their own litte polis.

    Epeiros. The woodland brothers of Great Makedonia...

    Gauls. I dunno why.

    Pontos.

    Getai. Too barbarian for civilization and two pseudo-civilized for barbarians.

    What I must play before I die:

    SPQR. Until the very and.

    Karthago. Have a marvellous troop selection.

    Lusotannan. Same as above.

    Sweboz. The Menace from the woods.

    Perhaps Saba or Ptolemaioi. Fantastic starting position.

    Only Armenia. I want too, always plan for it to be my next one, like their roster and position, but end up playing an old favorite.

    And all you people who havn't played Baktria or the steppe tribes yet won't be saying that after the next/final release. They will be just too cool...
    I shouldn't have to live in a world where all the good points are horrible ones.

    Is he hurt? Everybody asks that. Nobody ever says, 'What a mess! I hope the doctor is not emotionally harmed by having to deal with it.'
