what's your favorite faction

Romani, because you get to ki... err, meet so many different cultures.
The 'barbarian' factions get a little boring in my opinion after you manage to survive the struggle in the beginning, which is very very nice since it provides many a challange and some nail-biting AI turn waiting :)

Had a lot of fun with many factions, but my favorites are Aedui, Sweboz, Arche Seleukeia and Baktria, in no particular order.

It's sometimes even more challenging to maintain a large barbarian empire in the later game, as you're getting attacked from all sides and don't have the economy of the civilised factions.
