    Default Re: How do you pick your faction?

    Hello there,

    well, being used to play either the Vanilla Julii and Brutii, and desperatly wanting to play the AS successfully (still in Vanilla, I was regularelly eaten up by the Ptolemaii), my first choice in EB (0.81v2) was Pontos. It was what is called "love at first sight".

    Later, I played the SPQR, Epiros & Baktria, and to a lesser extend KH and Makedonia. As Bootsiuv and V.T. Marvin already pointed out, the AS, Carthage and the Ptolemaii are way too big for a start - at least IMHO. Though, one day, I want to bring the AS to glory and let them SPQR, Parthians, Epirotes, Hellenes, Carthages and them Ptolis pay high for daring to war us ...

    The "Barbarian" factions do not interest me at all and I, we're not ment for each other, probably as I'm too "indoctrinized" and I want to play with somewhat "organized" military ...

    Yours,
    Treverer

    Towards the end of the book, the Moties quote an old story from Herodotus:

    "Once there was a thief who was to be executed. As he was taken away he made a bargain with the king: In one year he would teach the king's favorite horse to sing hymns."
    "The other prisoners watched the thief singing to the horse and laughed. 'You will not succeed,' they told him. 'No one can.' To which the thief replied, 'I have a year, and who knows what will happen in that time. The king might die. The horse might die. I might die. And perhaps the horse will learn to sing.'"
