    Default Fave Factions in Rome Total War: Alexander

    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?

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

    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.

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

    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.
