what's your favorite faction

[Cute Wolf]

My Favorite Factions:
1. Kardhastim = Great fan of recreating Hannibal, Good Iberian unit Rooster (especially the Iberian Caetrati) with some african troops...
2. Koinnon Hellenon = They dammned Spartans are too cool... Has good troop composition and could be easily roleplayed...
3. Romani = Who didn't love them?

3. Romani = Who didn't love them?

Hehehe, everyone loves them; it's just that they are too bashful and scared to admit it. Heck, there are some people who do not play or hate Romani simply because everyone likes them and they are so popular. To not play them is to miss out the best part of EB, since the Romani had more work put into them than any five factions combined, at the very least. Just consider all of those units, reforms, triumphs, unique traits, elected offices, gens, voicemod, "This Year in History" descriptions, and etc, etc, etc. I am not necessarily saying that they are the most interesting ones to play as, as people do have varied tastes, but they should be the most interesting ones, being so complete.

They are my favourite too, of course. I also happen to like Epirius, which as I remember, seemed to be very popular sometime ago, just like Baktria, but not anymore as it seems. Unlike AS and Ptolemaics, Epirotes does not start out with already a gargantuan empire and unlike those two as well as KH & Makedonia, Epirotes do not have access to uber-elite units that make battles a walk in the park.

Every faction gets its "Year In History" pop-up. Stop playing Romaioi I say and get to know the marvellous other factions.

Bah, who do you think I am? A mad, babbling and drooling EB Romani fanboy savage? I have played other factions, and as I have stated, I enjoy playing Epirius. I know all the factions get the messages. What I was saying was that if you look at the "Year In History" pop-ups, half or even more of the stuff there is about the Romani. With the remainder about the Successor states. BTW, when do those messages end? I know there is a year when they do, but I forgot what it was.

I'm obliged to say Epeiros, thanks to my ongoing AAR, but I really like Baktria. It's got flexible soldiers, easily defensible backyard (Get India to fuel your campaigns) and a mixture of intersting enemies, with Greeks, Nomads and Easterns within a javelins distance of each other. Nice colour scheme too.

I think it was around 212 they stopped.

I agree that the Romani are fun just because of the office traits and the triumphs etc...
I don't really have a favorite faction... I just like them all...
