    Default Who do you reccommend as the MOST fun faction? :)

    Hello all, I've just finished my first campaign (Didnt really finish..) with Sabyr, and while a very fun faction, it is very incomplete unit wise. Anyways, I pushed far and deep into ptolemi lands and at the same time sent a full stack thrust into seleucid territory. Unfortuneately, the Seleucids got a nice amubsh on my stack up there and after suffering a devastating victory, i could only take 1 town before i ran out of steam.

    On the other hand, i took roughly 9-10 towns and lost only like 200 men in my stack i sent to the ptolemies. Then, They bribed like 2 towns back, conquered 2 back, and then the rest the public order becmae so bad i had to abandon them.

    All in all, i lost 2 stacks, about 6-7 hours game time, ruined my economy, and made no ground. :D

    So i gave up on that campaign.

    Im feeling like playing a new campaign, but MY first try - Koinon Hellenon - gave my the same feeling as M2TW, where i play for like 50 turns and then quit. Sabyr gave me a awesome feeling for epicness that i really loved.

    Anyways, I'd like some faction recommended that are real fun to play, and possibly have some cool lookin units, but the units are only a side top the immersiveness and overall fun factor.

    Look forward to hearing!

    Thanks!

    If you liked starting off small and having to grow then there are a couple of factions that you would like. These are the Casse, Sweboz, Lusotannan, and Saka.

    I had a Sweboz campaign going on 0.8 and I had a lot of fun with it.

    Epeiros or Baktria.

    Very fun, challenging, with lots of blood since the very first year ?
    Try the Arverni or Aedui, and test their fratricid war...I really love that, especially when the Romani and Sweböz came into the playing ground...

    The Getai start small and are really fun as well. Very good troop mix.

    I honestly think EB has done a good job of making all the factions fun for their own unique reasons.

    I think I have had the most fun with this Epeiros campaign, but it really does depend on what type of game play your are looking for when you ask 'who do you recommend'.

    I had a blast as the Casse, I've had a blast as the KH, the Romani are, well, it's Rome, what more do you need to know. Arche Seleukia is a hoot in as much as it's similar to the Western Roman Empire in BI (you start big and thin with everyone nipping at your boarders.)

    Saka, Hayasdan, Getai are fun because you start with one provence and build an empire from scratch.

    I could go on with every faction, but I think I've made my point.

    depends on your playing style. myself i prefer decent ranged units with troops that can hold a line well, so Baktra is my 1st preference. though makedonia has a good starting position especially if you expand north (good regional archer units)
