Babylon, Lydia or Egypt: Which did you like the most?

**Nero666** · September 13, 2006, 09:34 AM

Greetings RoP fans,

We have just finished previewing a row of three factions. All these have some things in common: they all are superpowers of the 6th century BC, they are key factions of our mod and they were all recreated by Goscinio under FliegerADs advice.
They also represent the current heading of RoP, hence we are very interested in your comments and would like to know, what faction (preview) you liked best so far.

These are the contenders:

Babylon

Where is "All of the above"?

**Nero666** · September 13, 2006, 03:31 PM

Well that would draw away the effect of a poll, wouldn't it

I've voted Babylon btw; The axe wielding Kiškuttŭ are my personal favorite unit, though Amose and the Lydian noble cav are among my favorites too.

Yes, I went for Babylon. But Egypt is always an intriguing option as well.

**Kasetuh** · September 21, 2006, 06:34 AM

Yeah, Babylon is more interesting and I'm for it. BTW Lydia and Egypt are not less interesting, especially Croesus's kingdom.

Babylon. They display the widest array of troop types. Though I find Egypt quite interesting too, given the fact that the Egyptians do not differ too much in the different mods out there. I do, however, miss the khopesh/kopesh from their arsenal.

Looking forward to the next beta,

Benjamin

Egypt is indeed very interesting as it is an army in transition during our timeframe, thus it breaks away from the usual "Return-of-the-Mummy"/pseudo-new-kingdom troopers you can see so often... I think this is very appealing.
The kopesh is there! The marines and guard troops use it still.

I chose Babylon as they really were a great civ, one that we seldome get the chance to play as in hardly any games.

**Benny_DK** · October 09, 2006, 08:58 AM

That is really great! Thought it looked more like a sickle than a kopesh.

Egypt is my favourite very impressive units it's like you brought the pics carved on the temples back to life.
but I have a question why the Egyptian faction doesn't have Black (Nubian) mercenaries??

**Kleomenis** · December 14, 2008, 03:56 AM

Lydia was my vote. even though i liked and the 3 of them.

**Gen.jamesWolfe** · December 14, 2008, 02:02 PM

Bab-ilu FTW

**Big Pacha** · December 15, 2008, 04:46 AM

I'd vote for Egypt because of personal interests (+°have some critics concerning "nubians" and chariot units), but my real choice would be Ionia because their campaign is really interesting and I like their early greek look, but they're not on the list.
