    I find them awesome. There is a good research behind them. Good campaign to all!

    Meh; at least they're better presented than those of Rome 1.

    Anybody else remember the bloody Laconian Lambda symbol for Macedon? =P

    Yep, vividly. I actually reinstalled the game thinking that the symbol was a bugged installation.

    The OP could also post a legend as to which symbol is which.

    Some symbos are not visible wherein it composed of both dark or both light colours..

    I like symbols with dark background and light logo or vise versa...

    I really love the faction symbols for this game - and how they are inspired either by the real life symbols of those factions or by contemporary art, such as the Gundestrup Cauldron images for the Germanic Cimbri and some of the Celtic factions.

    We all can agree that the best symbol is Rhodes...i love that plain grey faction icon....not...

    I really hope the symbols are not the only thing wich differs the faction... hope not that all germans jlhave the same shields and units...

    It would be cool, if each faction have their own unit... at least one - than we would have 117... plus lets say 20 for each playabel faction 377... than some for bactria, iberia and so on...

    And i really hope for different shields... so when you conquer all of the germans with the suebi it would be great if you could build the units of the minor factions - with their own clanshields :p would be hot

    It would be awesome if the different faction units (which probably have clone units) have different symbols and skins for their shields. For example Averni and Aedui can have the same unit say: Spear Warband, but the same unit has a different skin for its shield (like in M2TW).

    Any unit variety would be nice. Please no more line infantry and samurai army clones!

    NO ATTACK OF THE CLONES PLEASE!

    I would really love if they released a pdf or something showing the inspiration for each of them.

    Some got me really intrigued.

    Seeing them all together makes more sense now the "look" of the playable faction symbols .

    Faction symbols should be taken with a pinch of salt. Many factions didn't have a stick symbol for their period.
