    Passing on to describe the way in which Napoleon employed ‘principles’ or ‘ingredients’ for the prosecution of War, it must from the outset be understood that his strategical and tactical systems followed no closely ruled pattern. Every operation was unique; no two were ever quite the same. However, the underlying every Campaign and battle were certain fundamental, which were applied according to circumstances.

    My least favourite to play would be Spain, in vanilla. They're my favourite in EB, though. CA completely ignored them in vanilla, they're roster sucks unbelievably. EB did them justice.

    Scythia, then thrace, then the spanish, then egypt. Screw chariots!

    Then gaul, then britania, then carthage, then germania, then rome, then secleucid.

    A little bit too much information but I don't care.

    I tried Scythia but never even got to the part where I take another city. Moving a bunch of horses around a huge expanse of terrain is just...bland, especially when all the battles go the same: you run around shooting arrows at the enemy on horseback and then mop up routers with the general (given he's not a captain and therefore a horse archer unit )

    I love Thrace and esp. Carthage. I don't know why. just the placement and challenge I guess.

    Dacia, a half arsed attempt to create a faction, by making a poor quality hybrid of Germania and Thrace, just without the good units.

    Egypt is my least favorite. Carthage, Pontus and a migration Seleucid campaign are my favorite.

    The Roman Senate I hate trying to conquer Rome when there's 15+ generals in there.

    Thrace aren't that good either they have sucky phalanx late game and few troop types. I love falx tho.

    The award to half assed faction in the rtw series has to go to Dahae in Alexander. they suck amazingly badly.

    They have the generic warlord generals the Gauls'/Germani/etc. get. Its just that they're roster is so small.. They lack archers, heavy cavalry, and spearmen or any sort. Its incredibly boring when you get to the stage where you just spam Bull Warriors and Medium Cav.
