What is your favorite Prophesy of Pendor faction(Minor Factions count)

My favorite faction is the Baccus Empire because that there are many bandit parties and there units are better then most of the other factions. Also I love all of there units but I mainly use there crossbows or there Gladiator.

For joining, I like Ravenstern. Yes, they're easy and have great units and, more importantly, a wonderful initial setup for their region. The only issue with them is that expanding into Firedsvain territory is the only really viable choice. Unless the player can easily deal with the Jatu and take/hold Marleons or Laria, driving down into Fierdsvain territory is the only option. And, that also means that it may be that other Lords will get good holdings before the player could realistically try for them, themselves. But, most other territories have similar issues. (But, defeating Ravenstern and getting all that easily protected/patrolled territory is very nice!)

Something worth noting - Being able to easily find, fight and capture bandits in the early/mid game is essential PoP gameplay. And, anything near the Noldor is "A Bad Idea ™" for the early player who has yet to get opportunities to improve relations with them. But, in some cases, that could be easier for Empire players, since they can piggy-back on the victory potential of nearby Lord armies and capture some Noldor to release. (Haven't played in awhile, though, so unsure how/if those mechanics are effected.)

Empire Crossbows are great, but the Gladiators are "not so great" IMO. I do like the look of all the Empire units, though. Very snazzy! :)

Mystmountain Raiders...I usually hunt them down to boost my army they are easy enough to deal with so I didn't lose many troops but gain many in return

Agreed man, their Legionaries are not to be trifled with either.

Ya, Gladiators are great but don't get the respect that they deserved
