Enjoy : ) - Hry
Just experimenting with an idea here. Let me know if you want to see on for Medieval 2 Total War also? : )
Yes please MEDIEVAL 2
Obviously yes lols!
Sad ignored Dacia noises.
@@johannbezuidenhout2976 XD I noticed Dacia missing during editing. I decided to keep it out then as I did not think anyone actually seriously played Dacia XD
yes please, you were right with a lot of these so keep it up!
Brutii: you want mercenaries to look like they're actually in your army
Yup thats me
or you want to conquer actually important cities.
@@sauromatae9728 Chad Scipii can conquer Greece too with their dank Navy.
Julii
You want to play the Romans.
And you want your Romans red.
And you want to kill "barbarian scum".
Pretty much me
Yep, the only acceptable color.
@@JBGARINGAN Yes Im happily brainwashed by old hollywood films.
@@boshengjones1778 well even if the legionary tunics weren't red their legionary standards, the temple of Mars, and Julius Caesar's face on his Triumph parade most certainly were. Red is a Roman color baby.
if you are a dacian player, you are used to being ignored, and have led a sad life. we feel for you, and hope you will one day find a group that notices your presence
XD
Ah, right in the feels
Your faction color is poop which doesn't help at all.
😂
Dacians are so insignificant Melkor forgot them
Melkor:
"This is the type of player who likes to feel pressure from all sides"
Selucid players: "..."
Jose Moreno love Seleucids but beginning is sooo hard
Joshy Josh was hard for me until I stared doing choke points at bridge battles and learning the alt right click to make your missile cav charge. Now it is much easier
Ohh yes! But once you get going you get every civilised factions units apart from horse archers which you won't need if you've stomped the pink pyjama men! 😂
Antony Charnock ya usually Parthia and Egypt are my first targets in a Seleucid campaign, to allow myself to push eastward while still having my flank secured
@@joshyjosh3772 Provided you know how to block narrow streets, you'll be fine till you're ready for the counterattack.
Late game Seleucids are a pleasure which deserves all the early game pain.
I play Carthage because I want an army composed of nothing but...
E L E P H A N T S
Seleucids are a better faction who can give you them
@@TheSm1thers and of course, they are not child killers.

I was deadass thinking the same thing
Carthago delenda est
England in general: Content to sit back behind a perfect defence and observe, until one person raids you, at which point you conquer the entire map in retaliation.
Thats my Empire total war strategy in a Nutshell I play passive untill usually the french declare war on me after that the world is mine for the taking
@@narcisoferreira9976 This is me in every TW, I basically only react and conquer in whatever order people attack me or my allies.
Germans should have been: "You like to just push one button at the beginning of the battle, and have your soldiers fight the whole battle on their own from there".
If you've ever used 3+ units of Berserkers in one battle you know what I mean.
Yeah pretty much, the most fun aspect for me. Although to get there, you have play with spear phalanx for the entire early and mid game.
The berserker swarm is amazing. Often leaves armies as one battle wonders, but they can slaughter pretty much anything they can get close to.
Whole army's of them, can destroy any army and I mean any army
@@zacariahanderson Though they disappear before army of horse archers, or pikes. They also disappear before well timed cavalry zerg charges.
@@boshengjones1778 haven't had to deal with scythia with them i auto battle scythia as the archers are to annoying have success doing this. But macedon and Greek factions I destroyed with them recently in a campaign where I capital shifted so I could have a German campaign starting in athens
playing as Gauls: *omg i have so many enemies*
playing as the Seleucid empire: *declaration of war* AND ANOTHER ONE!
*declaration of war* AND ANOTHER ONE!
*declaration of war* AND ANOTHER ONE!
*declaration of war* AND ANOTHER ONE!
...
At least the seleucids have phalanxes to defend their settlements that can be overpowered in defense
I can only think of the avgn clip from pong consoles
That "Wants to be Alexander" line struck deep
5:33 It's not about the pain, it's about the infallible and undeniable fact that Numidia is superior to every other faction in Total War history
I thought you were all about Dacia, you double agent.
@@NotlostMcTwitchyrat Dacia is the best Barbarian faction
Numidia and Armenia are the best eastern building style nations, Dacia and Germania are best barbarian, Macedon is best greek style. Noone likes the romans, too easy.
@@Vektordeformacio Armenia yes, numidia no, its not even really eastern its cathaginian.
@@NotlostMcTwitchyrat Yeah, just checked it, it is carthagian.
The Seleucid one was accurate, I've never seen a game where they are alive for more then 10 turns, so I played them and took over the entire middle east, half of North Africa, Greece and then invaded the Italian main land with silver shield doom stacks.
Selucid Britain - 255BC or "The most fun total war challenge out of hundreds that I have tried"
A twist on a migration campaign with Selucids.
10 turns do whatever you want, build up some economy, get your army down to a minimun and recruit ships.
10 turns in to move all non-peasant units and characters in boats on the coast, by the end of turn 20 you have them all in boats and are not allowed to get them out.
30 turns to sail to the British Isles and conquer all settlements there and destory Britannia. During this period you are not allowed to build or recruit in settlemens outside of the British Isles and must control no settlements or units in the middle east by the end of it (End of turn 50).
You are allowed to conquer and loot in transit but not to garisson any settlement you conquered. If you keep it then you keep it empty. You are allowed to garisson your starting settlements (or whatever you had by the end of turn 20 ) but only with whatever peasants you left in at the time.
After round 50 you are free to rebuild your economy and conquer the world as seleucids from the British Isles.
Suggested Difficulty: Hard / Hard (10,10,30 turn timers) - 9/10 Extremely Difficult
Challenge Difficulty: Very Hard / Very Hard (5,5,20 turn timers) - 10/10 Nearly Impossible
Easier Difficulty / Practice Run Difficulty: Medium / Medium (20,20,30) - 7/10 Quite Difficult
Notes:
1) This campaign was the most fun I ever had in 14 years of playing this game, it's the only time I relived my childhood excitement for RTW a few months ago. If you are looking to relive the glory days this is the best I have to offer.
2) It is possible even in Challenge Difficulty, I've done it multiple times. Don't get discouraged if you try it.
3) Boom early as much as possible. Save up cash and loot all you can.
4) Memorize pirates and their pathing if you want to have any hope of getting through the sea route part.
5) Make sure to pass by Crete and in general make sure to loot settlements whenever you can, outside of the Challenge Difficulty you usually have time for a few raids and your economy willthank you for it.
6) Bare Essentials. Upkeep is a killer when you are starting from zero early on. Make due with a small force or you will mount up debt fast. You might even want to disband at turn 1 if you are thinking long term.
7) This setup isn't just chosen as a fun early challenge but because I really find it sets you up for a very interesting campaign with balanced progression and challenges throughout the mid and late game.
8) Despite all I've said can be frustrating due to high challenge rating so only attempt if you feel condifent in your RTW skills or maybe just play the Easier Difficulty otherwise. This is very much a "one mistake ends it all" campaign.
to be honest i just bullcrapped my city defenses untill i raised an army in antioch and decimated egypt
@@willnash7907 I did that with Carthage, but it was a smaller scale migration, I moved Carthage to their "motherland" which is Phoenicia, right in the middle of a war between Egypt and SE and i had a lot of fun. First defeated Egypt in a bloody war then turned to the SE.
Just wanted to see what it s like not to be pressured by three roman factions.
@@djole93podbara That sounds pretty fun also. I've done it with Carthage and Spain and Numidia. Personally I prefer Selucid Britain just because I love how perfectly it sets you up for the entire rest of the campaign.
Early: Migrate under pressure. Every choice will ripple to the next forty turns. Race to Britain before you lose all settlements but make sure you can actually fight when you get there.
Early-Mid: Battle against Britain, a fearsome foe given the armies you are going to be rolling with, and fight off debt, even more fearsome.
Mid: Stabalize your economy, try to do your best in the poor regions you have and start fighting off Germans who have conquered a lot of Gaul already.
Mid-Late: Rome or Bust and they actually had time to boom into a real threat now and you are going to have to step up to beat them with barbaric settlement eco.
Late: Egypt is a god by now because they are an s-tier ai faction that took all your stuff for free and have snowballed to oblivion. Face off your campaign nemesis for world domination, of which you both have done a lot.
The structure is just so great for a grand campaign and it has chalenge to boot and leveling up barbaric settlements into the super greek lategame in the north regions is also very cool from a management perspective.
@@willnash7907 sounds interesting. Also i had the same problems while migrating, any storm or pirate navy could lead to a disaster in the begining. And then when you reach the destination you have great armies of chariots and phalanxes storming you round shield infantry and cavalry.
Anyway it s much more fun playing these "made up" campaigns than fighting with numidia and romans only to get backstabbed by thr Gauls for the 48282829 time in a row, or fighting with egypt, parthia, pontus and get stabbed in the back by greek cities in your case. 🙂
Rome : "You just watched Gladiator again 2h ago"
hey what can i say the pajama people are all i need to stay alive
In my first Julii campaign, instead of going against Gaul I push towards Greece, the Greek Cities States just didn't give up, I had to go all the way to Mazaka in order to beat them.
So, Greek Cities States stands for stubborness and refusal to just die.
I did the other way round as Brutii in order to block both Scipii and Julii. I'm really selfish.
@@alejandrop.s.3942 relatable lol, whenever I play as a Roman faction I always block the two other factions I’m not playing as. Also, just recently I found out an insane as hell play strat as the Greeks. You can literally take Rome in 6 turns, 6 turns. Just gather all your soldiers together with a bunch of ships and set sail. First take the bruttii main settlements and effectively end them before they break out. Then smash Rome. By 10-12 turns all of the Italian peninsula was taken and Sicily. (Left the Syracuse troops there). And I still had a few of the starting settlements left. By turn 25-30 the whole of the Mediterranean was basically conquered from there. One of the fastest gameplay strats ever lol.
true..rn playing the brutti..and after annilathing dozens of there armies and burning down there cities..they not only dont attempt a peace deal...but have the balls to demand back every settlement i took from them..truely stubborn
I always picked the Scipii cause I think Blue looks pretty dope on Roman units, and they have a pretty dope Faction symbol. Plus I enjoy the areas they typically invade, such as Carthage and Egypt.
I always love playing the Seleucids as they always seem to get dog piled every game. Eastern version of the Gauls with a better roster if you advance enough. Loving the Yorkshire patch by the way!
XD People kept thinking I was Turkish, so I stuck that on : )
@@MelkorGG 😂
I wanted to play Seleucid to see them field something more than just militia hoplite and jav cavalry spam.
@@MelkorGG Have you ever spotted the Turkish Yorkshire man in Medieval II, Ayup?
@@antonycharnock2993 Just start the game, send the Seleucids at diplomat, "add_money 9999999" and then gift it all to the Seleucids. They gonna be fine
Ah yes.... Melkor the psychologist. Truely, the greatest character of all Rome Total War
Numidia Really is pain. It's like playing javelin only lol (at the start at least)
For me that kind of strategy really pays off. It's really understimated. If Total War were RTS games, this kind of factions would be great for hit and run, ambushes...
I don't like to play barbarians because the sight of Naked Fanatics makes me question myself.
theyre actually naked in europa barbarorum lmao
"Pal, is there a reason for you going in a battle naked?"
"I will give them insufferable emotional trauma"
Carthage shows greatness
CARTHAGO DELENDA EST
That laugh after Rebels 😂
Well done mate. However I'd say pain is more about Seleucids especially in early game.
“Britons - you like playing the game at your own pace” - Gods you’re so right there mate. I’d like to think I’m a pretty good Total War player now having played Rome for at least 10 years, Medieval I for about 7 and Medieval II for around 5 years, but even now I still don’t like to be rushed when playing campaigns. I spend ages attempting every trick in the book that’s not cheat codes to rake in as much money as I can, spend ages building my armies up until my upkeep balances out my income, spend a while choosing a suitable enemy settlement to take, choose the option of conquest that gives me the most money, and repeat. I will even spend several turns not moving anything if I’m recruiting loads of troops. I play slowly, but cunningly and frugally.
Your Carthage mark was spot on. I'm a huge history lover, and my favorite faction is Carthage. Poor Carthage...
I love Egypt because it is infinitely replayable. You can do axemen, chariots, horsemen, phalanxes, you name it. You can do whatever you want.
Seleucids: you like greek infantry, but you want to play with eastern heavy units, but oh those roman legionnaries are very cool too!
Julii: You are uncreative and never tried anything else. Like me.
I tried something else it just wasnt the same....
Or you can’t stand to see Roman Legionaires in any color but Red.
@@christianarchambault6111 True, it looks sick.
Well as a Greek and Brutii player your are on point and summed me up perfectly. Anyone else try make Byzantium as the Greco-Latins (The True Romans)
Sad you have to move to barbarian invasion to get the greco latin(eastern roman empire) units.
I can't believe how accurate the Greek faction summary was. I don't like battles much, but when I do have to fight it's phalanx and archers.
You had me burst out loud as a Scythian main who really just would prefer to play Barbarian Invasion or Atilla, lol
Also Thrace: you recently watched the first episode of Spartacus: Blood and Sand and wanted to play out a war vs “The Getae” (or should I say Dacia) and pretend to be Spartacus.
The Beast of Carthage, the Undefeated Gaul, Pompeii's Titan...and Batiatus, whose ass is raped by Jove xD. Such a great series.
i think there is a mod that lets you play spartacus..let me check
there isnt sadly enough..might be a small refrence in some mod campaigns but for the rest there is no mod for our boy spartacus
Was waiting for Numidia. Wasnt dissapointed... :D
I remember battling against Armenia as a Seleucid. My army was advancing to Artaxata and ran into 2 Armenian armies full stacks. Such a great battle although my general and heir died. Their horse archers were a pain in the ass and my army was decimated despite I always set at least 5 missile units.
They've Armenian legionaries...maybe I'll give them a go.
The key with Pontus is rush for city barracks, spam pontic light cavalry (which it's great in my opinion), and hire all the Cretan and Mercenary Hoplites possible. In my opinion, it's a great faction.
Armenia is actually very fun to play if you like the horse archer style of combat. Because like Parthia you get horse archers and cataphracts, but unlike Parthia your infantry is not just the pink pajama guys, you actually get like discount roman legionaries. Although tbf you don't get elephants and your top tier horse archers are kinda slow because they're also cataphracts.
Carthage: "because you enjoy sea combat. god knows why"
Because it makes raiding a viable strategy. Occupying everything all the time gets old and is historically inaccurate. Which goes to show that you hit the nail on the head with history buff.
I used to raid Ariminum (or Arretium, I can't recall which was the one at the Adriatic Sea) and Patavium as Makedon, using spies spam and little armies, exterminate populace, destroy every building and get away before the big roman armies might lay siege.
Furthermore, a strategy of setting up fortress along the way, only occupied by peasants or worthless units really pays off.
Playing as the Gaul really teaches you to attack single enemy units with as many of your units as possible.
Else your units and your factions won't survive another day.
Gauls have the best archers in the game and on top of that, they have the "temples" to get them to +3 attack and +3 XP. fresh units that deal 17 long range damage are the most OP thing in this game, get 10-12 foresters behind some chosen swordsmen (+some cav or a couple generals just to distract or harass) and you melt anything AI can possibly throw at you, including endgame armies with lots of urbans/pretorians or elephants.
We won't forget this #DaciaGang
As the brutti i recruit many Cretans, but only couple of hoplites as auxiliaries to deal with cav.
as the Julii I rushed a general down to crete and picked up two units and then proceeded to kill Gauls with them as my roman archers saw no combat yeet
I gotta say i really enjoy these kinda pop media buzzfeed type videos and i know that sounds derogatory but idk how else to describe it most every other total war youtuber are just like lets plays and commentary type videos but these are actually fun and interesting because we have all already seen the game nobody wants to watch lets plays or unwinnable battles for the most part so atleast imo for me youre my favorite tw youtuber
Scipii: you listened to I'm on a boat too much
If you really hate yourself
you're a numidia player who goes for full map control
Carthage for me, someone has to lead that army through Spain, over the Alps, and finally into Italy.
brutii stuff is so true that i almost spit out my water. lol
Egypt: For people who grew up watching Brendan Fraser's _The Mummy_ franchise.
Scipii faction includes such joys as a really fun Carthage campaign and exterminating the punics to the last man, invading hard to reach Iberia, and fighting vietnam esq wars in Egypt where you lose a million men in the blink of an eye and the world just fucking watched.
I tried playing as the Numidians the other day, and just realized "omg, they have no strong points ". For historical reasons, I think they should have had really good jav cav (just a bit less good than the archer cav of Scythia)
They do though, their enemies in italy and spain and carthage are all weak to spammed cheap cav zerg rush. Hit enemy hastati with four numidian cav and see it melt, and then you just order them to attack another hastati nearby until a chain ralt. Then they get archers super easy. Archers are very good in this game. They have a good cheap spear unit for op enemy general in town square. They have a decent unit for city wall fight.
@@boshengjones1778 so they are quantity over quality?
If you play dacia you want show how the barbarians would have dealt with hoplites instead of legions while having roman technology.
The best thing to play as Britons is not their position, but the fact that they are perfect at rushing, they have a bunch of deadly warriors - headhurles + charriots. They are a doomsday machine on the battlefield.
I think I mostly described it as: playing at your own pace. Which I guess that is also true here, as in: you can rush as your pace as well
My favorite is Parthia. So I guess I learned something new about myself today...
Parthia: Guys in brightly colored onesies... that's the line in this vid that killed me! 😂😂
Germania: You prefer to charge and disregard such things as tactics in favor for Romans flying and running away
Brutii: you like money and city sieges
Egypt: you like money and don't give a damn about historical accuracy
Pontus be like: You see their cataphracts in custom battle and start a campaign only to have missile cav.
Ngl, being that I play the Julii, Brutii, Macedonians, Greeks, Seleucids, Brits, and Scythians, he’s pretty accurate in each assessment
Everyone declares war on Gaul. Gaul: “bully a challenge I love competition no we’re will I mount the stuffed head of a Roman”
Is that a .....ERB Teddy Roosevelt vs Winston Churchhill reference? XD
@@darkdragon122 yep
The reason I know this is correct is because all though I haven’t done full campaigns will all of the factions there are quite a few of these that I’ve at least started campaigns for, and In many of those cases the thoughts I had matched your descriptions 😂
I've always liked the Seleucids best, closely followed by Thrace, Armenia and Pontus. I like these factions mainly for their unit roster cos they have phalanx alongside quick and powerful infantry/cavalry for flanking and causing destruction while the phalanx holds the enemy at bay. Excellent tactic in total war.
well, i think i figured out, why you left out dacia:
they are the faction whose lands got pax romana'd so hard, they are called romania now. in a way, they're the name sake for the entire game. at least for the 'total' part..
Haha this was great. I liked the SPQR portion of the video.
Thrace: You like Barbarians but you don't like Minor Cities.
The Bruttii are the military and economic superpower of the map, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Yes, their Mercury temples are great. Moreover, you may block both Scipii and Julii with ease, which leads to an easier Civil War (Julii expand to Germany, what anyway, they're not as strong as if they would have been).
@@alejandrop.s.3942 I actually don't like blocking the other factions, because I think it usually just makes the Endgame more boring.
@@Lolavs Do you know whether the Roman Al starts the Civil War if you don't?
@@alejandrop.s.3942 I don't actually know, but I really like it when there are these three massive Roman superpowers with massive stacks of elite units that they send against each other.
@@Lolavs On the other hand, it's quite a challenge conquering Greece, Africa/Sicily and Gaul at once.
Your videos help to relax me, also House of Julii forever
You're right. I do play Macedon because I wish Alexander was more replayable.
Scythia here, you couldnt be more correct

Lol I've done similar but using carthage
Gladiator is my favorite movie and your damn right I’m picking The Julii 80% of the time. Seleucids or Greek cities after that
Spot on with the seleucids... And about Numidia, I've just started a campaing with them a week ago... You are 100000% right
Another great video! The older total wars are the best
I like playing as the Bruiti because if you're going to be a Roman badass bent on world domination, why not be the most unapologetically ruthless about it? Roman steel--- that's the answer, Roman steel in a Bruiti FIST. ;)

Hey you got me with the Seluecids but you only got savage at the end. Gwarn Melkor rip everyone's factions up for a laugh! I know you want to
That was a really original idea for a video, I enjoyed it a lot :D
Brutii should have been, "While you like playing any Romans faction, the other two aren't overpowered enough for you.
the thrace one absolutely fit me😂
I returned to the game this year after many years of not playing. Played as the Seleucids, and my god, that has to be the most frustrating, hair-raising, brutal but also ultimately the most wonderful campaign of them all. Loved it. Marching my troops past the clueless Egyptian garrison in Jerusalem into Alexandria was the beginning of a glorious march to victory.
the best melkor video ever yet
Scipii player can easily take Greece before the Brutii AI does and you get to take Carthage second; this gives you the most trade out of any faction and unlike the Brutii, you don't have temple of Mars to drive your generals insane
Thrace: you’ve watched too much of the tv show Sparticus
“You probably like your Roman films.”
Everyone loves Roma Aerterna...at least I do😈
Scipii for the boats? As a person who loves Scipii the most, that is not right (don't get me wrong, nice to dominate the auto-battle's on the sea's). The main reason i play Scipii is because they are the only Roman Faction that offers max unit upgrade (Gold/Gold) for their melee fighters. Saves you having to constantly retrain in the few area's the A.I build those temples, such as Egypt.
Scipii is for me so true. It is the first and fav faction I have played. I like boats and ships in real life as well. I remember when I won the Scipii campgain I had also a strong navy. Other reason Scipii is my fav, is because they have blue color which is my fav color.
If you're quick enough as Gaul, you can wipe out the Julii in the first 10-15 turns. The Brutii and Scipii aren't really a threat at that point, especially if you take Rome too.
Every faction needs some kind of blitzkrieg one way or another, but I think Gauls are on their own level of needing. If you don't hit hard and fast, you're pretty much dead since there're 4 factions which are building units against you.
Something simmilar to the Seleucids, but they can at least hold firmly in their cities due to their phalanx based armies.
@@alejandrop.s.3942 I generally only face threats from the Julii and Germania whenever I play Gaul. Spain usually stays in Spain and the Britons almost always get curb stomped by Germania.
@@theindooroutdoorsman I play on the hardest difficulties and everybody comes after me. For the Britons, Germany doesn't exist, and viceversa, they only want to rekt me. Btw, in most of my games, Britons conquer Germany. I can't recall many games where Germany became a great power.
@@alejandrop.s.3942 Yeah, never really have that issue of a gang bang in early game, I have had some success allying with one faction who is already at war with another and promising to attack and give tribute. Sometimes it buys me time to get established, others it blows up in my face. My current Britons save has Germany leading the territory rankings with 17, I have 9 and am about to lose 2 to Germany.
I recently started a new campaign with the seleucids for this exact reason.
*players complain about lack of realism in modern total war games and say Rome 1 was the best ever*
Also Rome 1: Bright pink everything Parthian.
You play Macedon if you like the Greeks, but want them to be even more overpowered. Sincerely, a loyal Macedon player
Pontus does have a terrible starting roster, but they can do pretty well if you can survive fielding hillmen and eastern infantry for the first few rounds.
Also, for Armenia - you want to play as Parthia, but don't like having no infantry.
Damn... On my side, SPOT ON for Greeks, Gaul, Julii, Pontus, Macedon, Scythia (basically everyone I play as).... Great video!
@@alejandrop.s.3942 but if they are dead asap then you dont have hordes of romans trying to besiege Appollonia, sucks out the fun :(
@@cengiztaner4754 I don't know why my comment doesn't appear.
Well, I didn't think about that, but you're right, it must be extremely funny and challeging. I only meant in a sensible strategic way.
Numidia: You play Numidia because the Numidian Legionaries is a hilarious idea
Nice one ! Nailed it !
Parthia : You like to ignor infantry and you like fast moving armies. You hate sieges and hate stone walls but laugh when your enemy have wooden walls and your missil cav makes Shoot shoot the enemy is dead. Also you can fight Armys 100× bigger, Shoot all your arrows and then reatreat laughing at The screen when you Read 0 Death, 10000000 kills.
So you want to Play Skythia but havent modded the Game jet. (Just some random Notes : Why the f. Is Parthia playable but skthia isnt? I mean its easy to mod the Game so that you can Play them but Parthia is just worse than Skthya
- better Missile cav
- better Archers
- better inf
- cheap meele cav
- Funny units
- anti Heavy Cav (kills Generals)
And you can buy better Mercanerys.
What has Parthia?
-Heavy Late Game cav
- Elephants
- can Conquer Asia within 50 Turns (no needs to ! Because if you are slower it is going to be a Pain Killing the chariets combined with good archers and Phalanx. And a certain faction wants to outproduce Krieg when it comes to raising armys))
Not going to lie: Egypt hit close to home. I love Egypt in Rome and especially Rome 2. They simply are extremely powerful.
Elephants. Egyptian cavalry. Pikemen. Thorax and galatian swordsman. Chariots. Great archers especially Kushite archers. A solid starting position. Great income including gold. Two defensible land routes. The Mediterranean stops most naval invasions. Once you knock out Nubia and Axum, you can leave a token garrison in Libya to watch for problems and go anywhere you like.
Factions that I normally play are: THRACE, scythia, and numidia.
So basically I am all about: a fresh experience with hybrid units, I am built and meant for destruction, and I love pain.
Julii: *Kill alll the Barbarians!!*
Scipii: *I have the shortest short campaign*
Brutii: *have fun dealing with Greek phalanxes with your equites*
Parthia: *no infantry at all*
Seleucid empire: *All of minor Asia is against you*
My guilty pleasure is playing rome1. It just takes me back to a better times.
