Favourite faction and why
« on: June 04, 2011, 09:51:16 AM »
So, out of the factions we have so far (Hellenes, Romans, Celts, Iberians), which one is your favourite?

Mine would be the Iberians atm, partly because of the look and the background music. I also love the slingers. A simpler troop rota is nice as well.

Romans aren't really playable thus far, so not them. I'd say Hellenes I think, fantastic troop diversity and the playstyle required feels right for them.
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

Mine would be Carthage, but since it hasn't come out yet, Hellenes, mainly because I'm too lazy to change the default map setting for factions assigned to player :P Besides, who doesn't love hoplites?

I'm quite liking the Romans so far, I've always had a liking for infantry based civs in any game, so they work well for me.

Time to update? :P

In any case, I think I'll wait for the betas to start coming out to play again... the pace is alpha releases is getting to fast for me.
