The nation you love the most and/or play as the most.

i definatly love the macdeonians for their awsoem light cav at begining campaign also i think their phalanxe are the best they have abunch of people in each unit and they're spears are almost the longest wich makes them devastating if in the right posistion to short speared phalanxes such as the greeks and carthaginaians

[crimson_shade]

you're sure they're better than greek phalanx? because i'll never believe that anyone can have a better phalanx unit stronger than spartan hoplites.

[Sparticus_reborn]

Greeks FTW!!!!!!
Hoplites are unbeatable if you're skilled (and have merc cav LOL)

Or have archers and pila...

I personally really enjoyed playing as the Scipii, the Julii are fun too. I also had a very good time playing as Germania and Pontus.

[TheCrusader]

all factions are good and bad,but I prefer People of PONTUS.

I played as Julii in short and long campaign,,and I manage to beat Rome and Egypt,,,, now I am trying to play as Seleucid,, I saw a big different from Julii to Seleucid and like a new challenge I think .. I am new in this game

[pieter95]

I have played the rtw campaign with all factions, the ones I enjoyed most were:
1. Carthage, really fun at the begin because you are fighting a naval based war vs rome, and you have lots of trade, but it becomes boring if you have already beaten the romans and egypt comes with giant skirmish armys, that are to overpowered in auto resolve so you have to do 20 battles against the same kind of armys in the libya region.
2. Macedon, begining is easy fighting against the greeks, and possibility to expand north east or west.
3. Seleucids, the start is quite hard when you are fighting with everyone, but when you beat them, the romans already expanded to far north to conquer them quikely.
4. Brutii is also fun to play because you come across many different opponents, barbarian dacian, al the greek factions, the Egyptisch faction and later on the eastern factions.

The Seleucid Empire!

So many great units, phalanx, heavy infantry, cavalry, chariots and cream of the cake elephants (although I prefer chariots to ele due to replacement
issues). The start is epic and even the levy pikemen can be deadly in right hands. And it's always so satisfying to mop floor with Egyptians.

The Greek Cities for me, i absolutely love the units for them. They present a challenge too quite early on, because the Romans always have a vested interested in wiping me off the face of the Earth.
