Which Faction Should I Play as Next?

[Aemilius Paulus]

You know what? I'm gonna try them just because of Frontline

Then you are in for a disappointment. Drapnai is basically all the Getai have...

*scurries away*

[Kevin]

Hm, I just checked their units on multiplayer and you're right
Only Drapanai and the armored version

[Ca Putt]

Getai are fine, they have some of the best skirmishers, which can also hold a line for some time, the best pseudo phalanx, horse archers, good cavalry for all purposes, shock infantry with high lethality and shock infantry with AP, plus they can get hold of righ mines fairly early in the game. major downside are thier enemies which are mostly phalanx or horse archer based :(

imho they have the second most diverse unit roster in the game(after Baktria)

and Victory conditions, Pff, whats that supposed to mean? it's not like the game stopes when you win. most eastern factions have to aquire more land for thier VC than western civs yet this is mostly due to higher settlement density in the west. afterall you can expand in which direction you like nothing holds a sweboz player from conquering italy or the balcan. afterall the larger the VC area the longer you "have to" play the campaign and tbh, even with sweboz or sauromatae you'll swimm in cash at a certain point and from then on every game becomes kind of boring :(.

[Macilrille]

This is true of any game as you said. But it is the path there that is fun and IMO most fun as Roman or Sweboz. In this case I recommend Sweboz as they are so different and far away from the Med that they need never face those damn clever-clever Greeks or greedy Romans and Carties, decadent Ptolamois or aggressive Seleukids...

But they can if they want and they can beat them with their Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!-Power.


Sweboz FTW,

Tavs og sindig
være Fyrstens Sön
og kæk i kamp.
Glad og frejdig
skal hver Mand findes
indtil Dødens Dag.


Ukæk Mand
tror evig at leve
når han flygter for Fare.
Ælde giver ham
aldrig Fred,
om end Spyd ham den skænker.

youre right there, the journey is the reward. thus I think the VC is not important, only if you want to know where you can roughly build factional troops^^

oh but those Clever clever greeks can sometimes become rather unpredictable as in my last Sweboz campaign I bumped into them when conquering Gawjam basternoz XD and southern france^^ good thing about that is probably that it spared me of Sauromatae attacks

Nobody likes the Aedui (sniffle.)

There's a 3-way tie between Sweboz, Getai, and the Romani That's a first
