Fave Factions in Rome Total War: Alexander

[Shajarr ad-Durr]

Which are your favorite factions in the Alexander Expansion pack?

Since I can't make polls, I'm going to list them from memory:

1. Macedon.
2. Dahae.
3. Thracians.
4. Persians.
5. Indians.

Did I miss anybody?

[Shajarr ad-Durr]

My vote is for the Indians.

[Magister Militum Flavius Aetius]

Western Roman Empire
My mod is for alexander...

Honestly, Macedon.

[Shajarr ad-Durr]

I love the Indian female archers though

[Supermoler]

Yes they are strong, but I better like macedons

[Shajarr ad-Durr]

What are the Persian axe-men called? Kandakes, I think? They are pretty cool too.

[Supermoler]

Immortals are the best Persian infantry, i think :p

[Shajarr ad-Durr]

I haven't played it in a long time. Actually I only ever played it a couple times anyways.

Weren't the Thracian units the same as Gaulish units in RTW, just a different faction color and different names?

Hi there.
The main reason I love Alexander, is phalanx warfare, so I go for Macedon.

Macedon why because there the only civilized faction in the game.

persia was more

[Shajarr ad-Durr]

persia was more

Thank You! Persia has cooler units too

[Hopit]

Thank You! Persia has cooler units too

I'm not so sure about that

[Shajarr ad-Durr]

I'm not so sure about that

I guess coolness is a matter of opinion. I tend to favor eastern factions.

[Calisthenis of Dyrrachium]

Persia!! Big empire! Good infantry and cavalry! Annnnnnnnd, THEY'RE GREEEEEEN!!!!

What are the Persian axe-men called? Kandakes, I think? They are pretty cool too.

Kardakes are spearmen. The axemen are Phrygian Mercenary Infantry.

[Prince of Judah]

I wish there was a Persian campaign. I want to save Persia in the same way I would liked to have saved the Republic in 1.5. The immortals should be more expensive and much tougher because they are less useful than kardakes with such a low missile score.

Here is the only online battle I've been able to play. it would be great to get a list of contact info of everyone who plays alexander online and put it in a thread.
