Which faction is the most fun to play a campaign as?
Hey guys.


I have a few minor campaigns under my belt, having played the first 25 turns or so with the Iceni, Sparta, and Pontus. I did this mainly because midway thru my prologue it glitched out and wouldnt continue, so I had to learn the hard way how everything worked. But anyways....

I really want to get some feedback as to what was everyone's favorite campaign playthough so far? Keep in mind I want to know what difficulty setting you played on, and why? (Did you like the units, etc)

This is because I wanted to now start a GRAND CAMPAIGN, and win the whole thing on the difficulty setting just under legendary.

I thought about Parthia, but then I went online with them, and I hated thier complete and utter lack of infantry. And from what I read, Carthage sucks with bad units too.

You must play with the Athenian Boy Lovers, they have good trade, good diplomatic, Good navy, and get to start off as the junior partner in The Macedonia Hegemony that = Greece at the time. As Athenian boy lover sit is so easy to defeat Epirus, Sparta, and Crete all within 10 turns..after that you just Stab macedon in the back and control all Trade.. most battles will end as just a repeat of Marathon and all will perform fellatio to your decadent Democratic ways.

Sparta is the only faction I know; I had 10 turns with Macedon before my DLC came. I am enjoying Sparta more than Macedon. I am playing on normal difficulty and I am close to a Final Victory.

I like managing my Empire as Sparta. I like how the units' armor look although I don't have anyone else to compare it to yet. I use to be a huge fan of the movie 300, so I like how my general yells "for Sparta" and I like the faction in general. I like the Ancient Greek culture so for my interest it helps to play as such a faction.

I've had some memorable moments with that faction.

I'm rather fond of the Spartans, find the Macedonian pikes rather boring... The barbarians can be fun if a bit monotonous in the army makeup. Romans are always a favorite. Really depends on how you want to fight.

Rome and the Macedonians. Spartans are crap in the historical period in which the game is set. I don't like to play with the child abusing, pedophile immensly gay Spartans.....just imagine standing in the front of a spartan phalanx and have all those hot sweaty bodies pushing in your back.....horror

Rome and Macedon is just my type of war, I like to play with them because if you deploy real historical stratagems and tactics with these nations they usually work

I like how it seems either people on this forum are either absoulutley in love with Sparta or hate it with a firey passion, and have no middle ground in the matter.

As for fun factions, I've done a 250+ turn campaign with Rome on normal, which is good fun because of the unique style of fighting (mostly heavy/very heavy melee and almost no spears) that you don't see in the other factions. It also teaches you how to agressively spread your culture.

The other campaign I've done is the Iceni, and with them and other Barbarian tribes its a fun detour from the 'civilized' factions since the way you recruit units and get upgrades, and the entire infrastructure system in general are very different. I would say start with a Hellenistic faction or do Rome first though so you get a feel for the standard kind of building balance.

Hard to say... Rome is very easy, because their units are super overpowered, and you get strong units pretty fast. Later on, you could easily play and win fast with praetorian cavalery alone (lol, seriously, they are semi-immortal). I finished the full campagin with Rome, by capturing everything.

Now I'm 2/3 in my sparta campaign... well, it's not like the movie 300. But I've had never any problems with people being unhappy, slaves or food. Never even close to it, even with newly captured towns - that was pretty different with rome.

But I have to say, I'm pretty disappointed in how similar every fraction I've tried so far is. Every country has pretty much the 99% the same gameplay, politics, characters and combat. If you ignore the different names and images ect., it is pretty much similar.

I really like Egypt until now. They have a huge variaty of troups, and you can really plan what you gonna do early-game. You can go to Afrika, or defeat the Selucids and go to Pontus, or you can go Asian. You even can cross the ocean and invade the greeks. You also can trade with them very easy. I played this faction on easy because it was my first campaign and I wanted to know how easy easy is. I'm gonna try it on hard now, and then on legendary.

Parthia is really fun too (in my oppinion), but you get in a total war very quickly. Parthia has the real fun of cavalery (as you might expect), so the battles are really fun (the cavalery aren't that much affected by the crappy unit collission).

But yeah, the only real difference between the factions are the starting position and the culture. I don't like the Macedons and Spartans because the falanxes are just, yeah, wierd (Egypt has them too but the advantage of the nice starting position makes up for that).

I know rome is good but I only played them on hard but sparta is very fun I have been playing them on legendary there units are so much superior than other units and if you get your spartan spearmen in phalanx formation they are never going to die

How are phalanxes wierd? The pike on is amazing, and hoplites on the flanks is impenetrable.

I've won a 2000+ vs. 400 hoplites and levy pikemen because of the OPed formation. It's even good at attacking, as long as you know how to properly attack with it.
