What Faction Next

**Gaius Caligula** · 10-03-2007, 05:35

What faction should itry next. I want to make thejump from medium/medium to hard/hard and so far i have played as Roman and Greek. My strategies tend to revolve around using my infantry as a distraction and holding the enemy in place before charging from behind with cavalry. I do enjoy my cavalry

. Any advice is appreciated thanks

sounds like Macedonia is the one for you, they are perfect for that tactic with phalanx's and a very wide selection of cavalry (light lancers, Greek Cav, Macedonian Cav, and Companion Cav). They also have a shrine that gives missile attack bonus, which I find very helpful.

You could try playing as Gaul, eventually they get nice infantry and their cavalry can do its job as well. It should be noted that Gaul is a challenging faction to play on Hard/Hard, although once you get the hang of the Hard/Hard you'll know what to watch out for.

If you have BI and really really like cavalry then you could try playing as the Sassanids or Eastern Roman Empire. Possibilities are endless...
