Most OP faction

[newacc]

My opinion is Macedon Rome and Kush and Masselyi

[Salty Nobody]

Most OP faction at what? Campaign starting situation? Multiplayer battles? Who has the best unit roster?

[Big Moustache]

Seleucids. It's not even close.

[samael75]

Rome ofc. Its even in the game name.

[Rabidnid]

Armenia. Basically Rome with archers, better cavalry and without all the diplomatic penalties.

[newacc]

Seleucids are good but they are more of a jack if all trades. But they have loads of enemies at the start.
I am talking about campaign.

What? Their infantry is unstoppable, only pikes are a problem for them, and they have too many solutions to pikes for that to matter anyway.

You can obliterate Armenia as the Scythians, and they are bad.

You can obliterate everybody as Armenia, I've taken rome, egypt and bactria in the same campaign. No that means anything, it;s not like the game is hard.

Roman Ballistas are OP. Game tells me im going to lose a battle defending my fort, I turn ballistae off of AI and let me control it... Obliterated the enemy. It wasn't even fair. I had a 25% chance of winning((The red bar was 25 so the enemy was 'stronger')). I got hte ach. EHEHEHE.

There's simply no "OP" Faction in the game, unlike in Shogun 2's "Ikko Ikki".

But it depends on how you play the Factions, Rome is by far the most Powerful, but they lack Good Skirmishers, and Cavalry, which they must get in Auxillary recruitments(They also don't have Factional Mercenaries).

Old Patch Egypt can be very fun, due to having 2 Grain Settlement, which mean you can literally play as egypt without making any farms, they're however too versatile, they have any unit you want, but they're not really super good at what they do.

Syracusae can also be a powerhouse, depending on the players, attacking Rome and allying with Carthage could be a better choice, since in the early game, Rome Southern army isn't really that strong, and Carthage is already weak due to wars in spain, africa, and their bad start.

Baktria has the best defense thanks to their corner starting location, plus their Cavalry is considered one of the best.

No kidding. Try the Ardiaei on legendary.. God is that rough at first.

Parthia lol, tooth and claw for every inch of ground, playing DEI even more so.

Rome for sure. I can face any faction on multicampiagn . Write to me if you want to prove your choice (in multiplayer campiagn).

If you don't say Grand Campaign Egyptians I'm not really sure you have played the game.

They have the most versatile army composition, very early on in the game. You start with pathetically weak neighbors all around you, a ridiculous economy from the start of the game that simply feels like cheating by turn 20. Your "scary" rivals at the start of the game are withering under an overwhelming number of enemies and wars while you are ascending to a new plane with maximum doomstacks whilst keeping a 10k+ per turn economy. Taking the rest of the east is childsplay as you blietzkrieg through your enemies "armies" that consist of 1.5 stacks of levees and a horse here or there.

It's by far the best faction in a players hands. It takes me longer to ascend with Rome, which is easily the second best.
