Roleplaying Faction

[Treshka]

I have to say Carthage, you can always count with never ending hate against rome, supremacy in the mediterranean sea, and elephants of course, dont forget about elephants:

Aedui, Rome, KH, and Carthage I'd say are good roleplaying factions for me.
P.S. Almost forgot Baktria

I liked playing KH because I felt that I was freeing poleis from tyrranies and foreign overlords and liberating them so they would join the alliance. I tried to play each city as somewhat independent of the others, but willing to band together to fight major enemies. Certain cities in the KH formed specific functions. The Athenians and Rhodians formed the most powerful navies, Sparta often tried to keep it's interests focused in the Peloponnese, etc.

The nomadic factions were fun to play as raiders, especially once I got them powerful enough to field decent forces. It's a lot of fun to send an army riding into foreign lands, luring armies out of cities, sacking and burning settlements, and taking loot.

Rome is fun to play as interfamilial struggles, too. Adoption not only signifies familial continuity, but also the internal workings of factions. Leaders groom heirs. Certain regions become dominated by different factions. Usually, if an office calls for somebody to be sent back to Rome (historically) I send him. It's a real pain in the butt during siege, but when duty calls, my characters heed it. Therefore, I usually have a lot of guys in Rome while the cities usually govern themselves for a while. It makes the game very challenging, but it is interesting to see how to get around these problems.

Pontos reminds me of my own Homeland: being influenced by two (great) cultures / nations ... taking the best of both and mixing it with indigenous inputs, et voilà: you get Pontos (or my Homeland ).

So you are descended from Pontos...a strong and noble people :)

Nay, not from Pontos / Pontic / or whatever the correct Pontxxx is. But take a look at my "aka": the "land of the Treveri", near Augusta Treverorum, a small, but independent country in Europe.
