[Factions] Which one will you play first?

[QuintusSertorius]

Simple enough question, with the beta close enough to touch, what will be the first faction you try, and why?

[Tureuki]

Pergamon or Koinon Hellenon, I'm interested in Hellenic factions but less in phalanx based mixed cultured successor states.

I like migrating, I might take this factions and migrate them as well.

[Davidix]

Probably Pahlava, Saka Rauka or Sauromatae because I like cavalry based factions

[Wulfburk]

Though it isnt in my top 3 favorite EB1 factions (Casse, Romani and Ptolemaioi), im probably going to pick Epeiros.

[Antissa]

Romani first, then Makedonia or the Seleucids.

[TuCoT]

Getai, Sweboz or Boii.

[General Grievous]

Carthage, then Makedonia ad after that, Seleucids, on hard difficulty..

[dimnjacar]

Hayasdan

[Samraat Mahendra Maurya]

Romani, Takshashilla or Pergamom

[Menidas]

Since I may not yet vote on this poll (I believe I haven't been on the board long enough) - Romani. There are other factions like the Pritanoi I'm looking forward to, but my first playthrough will be under the wings of the mighty senate of Rome.

[QuintusSertorius]

To answer my own question, I'm going to take Epeiros and migrate them (either to Massalia or Kyrene, not decided yet). Since we could get stopped by a non-savegame-compatible bug at any time in this first release, I'd rather not play something I'm going to get too attached to. Plus I'm more likely to break something (and thus find bugs) doing something you're not supposed to.

[Morrowgan]

First Nabata, then Pergamon and Taksashilla

[Harðurāðaz]

First Swêboz, then Boioi or Pritanoi

[Kirila the Kitten]

Getae.

[Ἀπολλόδοτος Α΄ ὁ Σωτήρ]

Seleukeia. First I will restore the empire of Alexandros and then I will procede to conquer those pesky cities of Roma and Karkhedon. Afterwards I will play Baktria campaign.

[Gryphon Templar]

Probably lugiones.

[sitnam]

Probably lugiones.

Me too!

[LinusLinothorax]

Probably Pergamon. Although their unit roster wont be very unique, i expect a hard and fast campaign (because of the not to extended vicotry conditions).

Their victory conditions are quite ambitious - rebuild the Thraikian Kingdom of Lysimachos, which covers Asia Minor and Thrace. I'm not sure that would be a fast campaign, since you'd be contesting with the Seleukids, Ptolemies and Pontos in Asia, and Makedonia and Getai in Thrace.

Compared to the victory conditions of Rome or Pontos (have to conquer almost whole Asia and Greece) i find the campaign much faster. Pergamon has to fight big enemies, true, but still they dont need 60 provinces to win.
