THE BEST FACTION FOR YOU ?

For me it's Macedoine! They have all different units (archer, hoplite, épée and horse). The position on the map it's good. And it's cool to have sparte, athene and epire for help! ;-)

[Berserk Slayer]

Overall, probably Macedonia too. I love the Alexanderish feel of sweeping the board with the Companions. :)

ya macadon

[Shadow of the SPQR]

Egypt.

[Zapp Brannigan]

Rome. Boring I know, but that's my fav so far! The Romans are weak in cavalry, but their infantry more than make up for it. Can't beat the starting position on the map either.

I currently have a nice game going with Athens, but I find legions more fun to fight with than hoplites. The hoppys are effective, but not very flexible, as in real life.

[Scouten]

my favourites are Rome, Pontus and Syracuse

[Thrax]

Egypt is very strong - the food supply is extreme !

[Unruly Marmite]

Either the Nervii or Syracuse. I just like them.

I think I will say Macedon too. I would like to say Baktria or Parthia, one with horse archers. But damn I like those axe men too much. They can wear down an enemy so fast with the ranged attack and then be used to help surround units to make them break. Plus the companion cav is so sweet, hammer and anvil and they are a stunning hammer.

Egypt, Sparta and Rome. I have completed a campaign for Egypt and Sparta, but not Rome yet! I love the started position as Sparta. You're small and have to take Athens to even have a fighting chance. As far as Egypt, I love the look of the land on the campaign map. They're a cool faction, have awesome units, and are easy. Rome has amazingly cool and fun to use infantry.

Sparta was a fun campaign when the game came out. With how broken the AI was every time i defended a town they all rushed my pikes, it was hilarious.

But Seleucids are where its at, being completely surrounded by enemies and all have the same quality of units up to tier three, exept the Greek factions which have early game hoplites. So Hard but once you start to get the tier four units and steam roll a lot of fun.

Averni i think are my favorite so far, Rome was easy, Syracuse was tough start but once they get going they might aswell be rome.

Macedon a close second with Iceni in third.

I like Averni(Gaul) because they are central, are heavy sword, bow, moderate cav and average spear units. Very good faction to play as a shock force/ambushing army.
Macedon- I like for solid defensive play
Iceni-Are strong a skirmish army, Cav,missile and decent sword,spear units not to mention they are in a very strong starting position on the map.

[Attila1120]

Rome by far, but I also love playing as suebi and iceni just because how crazy and tough their units look

[Rabidnid]

Pontus for me. They have a good range of units with mods and their starting position is quite central.

[Ammianus Marcellinus]

Rome, Parthia and Nomadic Tribes.....I like cav

I find hellenistic armies to be not very flexible
