My Next Epic AAR

[Chirurgeon]

Well I have chosen Three possible factions I would be willing to Play. Basically I want to try Some of these wonderful spear based units I have seen. The Phalynx is really cool and since I am more defensive in my battle style this could be good. I have played as Kart Quarthast and loved it! I liked the combination of solid spears with fast moving light infantry and powerful cavalry. I played Greece in an RTR game...but thats about it. Let me know what you think...your input is greatly appreciated

If you want a faction besides Carthage which has powerful calvery and solid infantry I'd vote macedon. KH would be a different experience altogether since they have excellent infantry but poor calvary. Hum this is a tough choice man.

I’d say Carthage. I haven’t read any AARs for them, and they are an interesting faction.

Besides, I have selfish reasons; I’ve played as the others, but not as Carthage, so an AAR would give me a taste of what the game play with them is like, and maybe some strategies to try when I get around to them.

Carthage would also allow for interesting role-playing opportunities. And elephants, don’t forget about elephants!

Kart-Hadast is very interesting, as you attested yourself. Quite flexible, and you can take revenge on the Romans for the effective punishment you handed out in that campaign.

Still, I voted Makedon. They have excellent cavalry, a lot of good phalanxes, and start in a difficult position, even moreso on huge population scale. Plus you need to take revenge on the Romans.

The Koinon does have poor cavalry, but great infantry as well. But it may be hard to effectively role-play your generals as the structure of the KH is different from most other nations / factions.

It is a tough choice.

Thanks for your most important input! Im leaning towards Carthage but Makedonia does have some interesting options as well.

[Wolfman]

I voted Carthage! Macedon was my second choice

KH is actually a very good faction to do an aar on....due to the fact that you can have different powerful families, and roleplay them vieing for control i.e. the Spartans trying to maintain power while the Attikos and Rhodios attempt to keep them in check. That sort of thing.
