    Default Who will you play as in your first 1.0 campaign?

    Well 1.0 is finally coming, just wondering who you guys are most looking forward to playing as in 1.0 (assuming you don't always play the same faction).
    Personally I can't wait to see some further development for the Greek/Diadochi factions, but with the smaller factions (hopefully!) being a lot more developed I'm quite looking forward to messing about with Hayasdan and Parthia, although I'm sure my opinions will change as more teasers/information is revealed :D
    Anyways your thoughts guys?

    Personally, I'm eagre to see what's been done to the Sweboz. Methinks they've had quite the facelift.
    When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball

    Baktria.

    Thats my favorite faction so I'll start with them for the start. That only if I'm finished with my EB0.8 Baktria campaign! My plan is to finish that first, then play another faction first. It gets boring to start with a similar situation all the time. And since I started 3 RTR campaigns with Baktria, and now a EB0.8 campaign with them... that would be the case.

    If EB1.0 is released before I can finish my 0.8 Baktria campaign, I'll hopefully finish their campaign first, then start with another faction in 1.0 and go back to Baktria after that.

    If thats the case, my faction of choice would be KH, Carthage or the arabian tribes (I'm very curious about their style...).

    My traditonal realistic-ish roman expansion (not landing in africa till the mid 100's , trying to keep it accurate, while pulling the strings of other factions to get them is a postion for later one (in my current romani campain, after pumping cash into parthia, they're finaly expaning, at a scary pace, and it's 200 BC and I only have greece and italy!)

    Hopefully I'll have a new video card by the time it comes out. And I think I'd like to play a Makedon campaign again.

    The new Seleukid Satrapie system makes me want to try them out too though.

    I will start probably with Pontos. But seeing how many improvements and new elements there was done for almost all factions I will want to try out as many as possible.

    So far I have played prolonged campaigns for Aedui (till 160 BC) and Baktria (till 190 BC) and some short living campaigns for Romans, Selucids and Karthagians.

    The way I see it now I am going to have campaigns with these factions among my priorities: Pontos, Pahlava, Saka Rauka, Arche Selukeia,Sweboz then there are some neat futures for Hayasdan (I mean the new system which allows you either acces to greek influenced units or the persian ones) Of course then I am going to play as a Baktria and Aedui again......

    I am going to spent lots of hours/days/months playing it!

    I'll finish my epic Makedonian campaign first, then upgrade to 1.0. How much I'd love to have all these fantastic goodies in my current campaign... When I'm done, I have to do something different than the Maks - I just can't start the same thing over again. So my first campaign will most likely be the Sweboz, they seem to have undergone a major upgrade. And Carthage as a close second. And then... maybe it's time for Makedonia again - or the AS? No, Makedonia rules...

    Hayasdan looks very interesting....I've never played them in EB, but with the new empire reforms they've been given, they look like lots of fun...I'll probably give them a go first.

    I'm going to play with Hayasdan and conquer myself a cool empire, can't wait to let my hai horse archers ride out

    Makedon first.
    Baktria second.
    Getai 4rd
    Hopefully a steppe faction 4th.
    Hayasdan or Pontos 5th
    Qart Hadast 6th
    Sweboz 7th
    Pontos / Hayasdan / Saba / Saka 8th
    Romani 9th

    That will keep me busy for the next year

    Hayasdan all the way. I never played them much with the currtent version, but with their new reforms they practically dare me to play them. And after I've reconstructed Achaemenid Persia, the Arche Seleukeia will have their turn in an epic struggle to reunite Alexander's people! Gonna smash those incestous Ptolemaic freaks for good
