    The realm of the King of Kings, Parthia!
    but only in SPQR and RTR.
    the Greek Cities, scythia/samaritia, the Gauls, Britiannia, and Julii/Rome also get a look-in as well.

    In BI i go Sassinisd, Eastern Empire, the Goths and the Celts.

    Romans all the way. Julii and Scipii over Brutii though. Has anyone noticed the battle map units go a little strange near Corinth? especially when chasing routers?

    Definitely the Kingdom of the Parthians!!! Some of the World's greatest cavalry, and an excuse to be sneaky, underhanded and backstabbing. And its an acheivement to come from nowhere to rule the world!

    Greek Cities would be my favourite followed by Gauls.

    Carthage!!

    It has been some time since I last played RTW (about a year I think). But of all the campaigns I played. Carthage held the most entertainment for me.

    I loved the Sacred Band Infantry and at the latter stages was pumping out hordes of them. I also loved smashing the lines of the enemy with the War Elephants too.

    The only thing they lacked were archer units. But beggars can't be choosers I think.

    A perfect choice Ironhide.

    I love them too, Scred Band, Elephants, and for some reason I love slingers so the lack of archers doesn't bother me (I think I just love the noise as the rocks strike ).
    Plus, you get the chance to get down and dirty with the Romans nice and early.
