Factions you have fallen out of love with

I do that too, I play a campaign till I get bored and start another one. Later on as I lose interest I might continue a previous campaign and keep switching around advancing in all campaigns.

I'm playing a Pontus, Hai, and a Lusotan campaign.

Fall out of Love?

No, Never Ever.

Well, I was functioning under the impression that 'falling out of love' was more of getting bored of a faction rather than a permanent avoidance of it... o.O

I have played vanilla RTW, RTR 6, tried some early EB version and now I'm playing EB 1.0.

In all those I have never played a campaign with anything but Romans. I guess that makes me a fan of them...

I have recently been playing factions that I have not played at all or have played for less then a couple of years. Those being Sauromatae and Sweboz, I had fun with both of those for about 60 to 70 years and then was bored. So I did some pondering on who I could remember having the most fun playing with previous versions of EB. I came to the conclusion that I had the most fun with KH. So I started a new campaign in version 1.0 wondering what would happen. Guess what, I am having a but load of fun playing them again, I don't know what exactly it is but every time I play the KH it is fun. So for those of us who are looking for a fun faction to play and haven't tried the KH, I recommend them fully.

Makedonia. I've no idea why. In EB 0.81a I used to play them more than anyone else, but in EB 1.0 I just can't get away with them.

I'm having far too much fun with Pahlava now anyway.

Not really fallen out of favour with.. but I have never played a Roman game since my first vanilla experience (a very boring troop roster, being coded to utterly dominate all other factions and speding almost every non EB game trying to keep them under control being only several factors).
Attacked my first Macedonian city with a cohort, noticed all these nice long pikes coming out the gates...

Charged headlong into said pikes with my infantry...

Then the Mak heavy cavalry met me....

and then...

and then....

Now I predominately play Greek factions.

Having said that, not only have my tactical skills increased since then, but the Romans in EB look really, really good and I am tempted to give them a try.

Still a Greek at heart, but the Celts can be fun for a break.
