A bit of advice

[icydawgfish]

I really like the Hellenic factions (Macedonia, the Ptolemies, Bactria, AS, KH, etc. etc.) and I'm also fairly new to EB. I have a difficult time starting campaigns w/out cheating to get myself going. I was wondering if anyone had advice on which faction has the easiest start and maybe a little guide on how to get started. Thanks.

As of the Greek factions I'd think either the Ptolemaioi or Makedonia. Not sure though. They have some room to expand and the only problem would be the Grey Death (AS).

I'm not really sure, rest of the factions are pretty difficult, but I have a great time as Epeiros. Otherwise, I'd think Makedonia.

Makedonia starts the game with a two-front war and grizzled Pyrrhos with the hughe army that dady Ptolee had bought him right on the dorsteps of Pella. I would advice the Greek league itself. I found that the eaysiest of them three.

In the East you have the Ptolemaians, AS and Bactria, but I would recommend none of them to start EB with.

Really? The Ptolemaioi are quite managable I'd say. AS and Baktria are quite a bit more difficult.

So wich faction did you choose anyway?
