    Default Empire Divided - Who are you going to play first?

    Hi all,

    Thought it would be fun to see which factions in Empire Divided have caught people's eye, and who people are going to play first. And also why?

    For reference, the playable factions in Empire Divided are:

    "Heroic" Factions:

    (Aurellian) Rome
    Gallic Rome
    Palmyra
    Gothi
    Sassanids

    "Normal" Factions:

    Saxones
    Marcomanni
    Armenia
    Alani
    Caledones

    So, who you going to play? And as the Steam page says, "will you unite an Empire Divided, and return Rome to its former glory? Or will you become the arbiter of its final downfall?"

    All the Best,

    Wels Dragon.

    Gallic Romans and/or Palmyra .. even though the Marcomanni are very tempting .. .. I don't know what they have decided about (Gemanic) confederations, I hope being able to form a huge Germanic Confederation to take Milan .. just to start ..

    In the bid to keep it local the Gallic Empire for a Heroic campaign and to see how they explain Tetricus game plan even when losing...

    Alani for the normal campaign experience

    Zenobia and Aurelian. Aurelian as the force of unification and Zenobia..well sounds like interesting character. Enlightened and I liked Odaenathus...

    @Abdülmecid I Thanks for turning this thread into a poll.

    *

    As for my answer, I'm torn between Aurellian's Rome, Zenobia's Palmyra and the Saxones.

    I've probably ruled out Palmyra, because even though I think Zenobia sounds interesting, I'm currently playing Cimmeria and before that Egypt, so I sort of feel like I don't want to be fighting over the same area of the map in a Hellenic style for the third time in a row.

    Saxones appeal because I'm hoping they're going to have some interesting maritime raiding gameplay, and because I quite like the idea of starting in or near Denmark and then going out and conquering Britain, Gaul and beyond.

    But I'm probably going to go for Aurellian Rome, just because it seems like he's the hero of the campaign and as a larger faction I imagine I'll get to experience more of the new gameplay and mechanics sooner. But we shall see. I thought I know for certain who I'd play first when Imperator Augustus came out (Pompey,) till I saw the intro cinematic and then I just had to play Octavian because it made me want to help him triumph!

    All the Best,

    Welsh Dragon.

    I'm going to try the Alani first. I'm rather curious about their roster, religion, and victory objectives.

    The Goths also promise to be a world of fun. I'll get around to Aurelian's Rome and Palmyra as well for a more "imperial" experience. This campaign promises to be truly interesting from all angles.

    Aurelian first for me, to restore the glory of Rome! Though for me this poll is somewhat moot as I'll end up playing as most/all of the factions eventually xD

    Yes, me too.

    The poll should probably have said "First I'm going to play as..." But ah well, it works as it is.

    All the Best,

    Aurelian first, and probably second.

    If I get the DLC (I want to wait out and see how it goes), I am going to play as Rome for sure. Aurelian is one of my favorite roman emperors and historical figures in general.

    I'm not sure this DLC is really offers much of a different experience than the main campaign (or the Augustus DLC). It has some new leaders, new units (whoopty do), same dumb looking matched combat, same campaign and battle maps, so: same ol, same ol.

    Based on some of the streaming content I've seen, it feels like a barely improved on 2013.

    My wife said she wanted to buy me the FLc so I guess I'm getting it anyway.

    Probably gonna play Aurelian.

    Then I'm gonna mod the campaign to the year of the 4 emperors.

    Aurelian.
    Following the traces of Restitutor Orbis is far too *seducing* ...

    After this either Goths (let us having those pitiful Romans shake from the Furor Gothicus) or Sasanians (ok, I am sometimes not inspired )

    I'm rather looking forward to playing as Gallic Rome, though I must admit I am somewhat saddened that the little known Quintillus is not playable. From what I know of him he was likely the de jure successor to Claudius II (even if the Legions disapproved) and it would have been most interesting to really overturn history by taking him and his faction to victory. Oh well, mods will surely take care of this issue down the line!

    I will go with either Goths or Alans, beacause i want to explore the corners of the map and see how these minor factions are done, then i will proceed with Armenia, Palmyra, Saxons maybe and before i lose interest in the game i will try Aurelian.
