Faction Hatred

[Vezon]

What faction do you hate? Either to play as, or just hate them as the computer.

For me, I really, Really, REALLY hate the Brutti. I'm not even sure exactly. It might be because of their inevitable war with the Greeks, whom I favor. But I find their very color obnoxious. They strike me as arrogant, which is weird because their responses are the same as all the other Roman factions. I usually try and sabatoge them, regardless of who I'm playing as.

As for playing as, I dislike Parthia. It's just so boring being them. No way to win but pepper the enemy with arrow, then charge in with cataphracts. No variety at all. And holding cities is a pain.

I "hate" Egypt in Single. They are no threat, just an annoying faction with 20 stacks of poor quality units, led by AI with processing power of a rock.

In multi i dislike Romans, as everyone - and their mom - plays with Urbans all day, every day.

Same here. I took over some of the big chunks of land in the middle east. One if the cities is Petra(not sure) and they would always attack with 20 Unit armies but I would just hold them in the entrance with my hoplites. They are like cockroaches. They are not strong but in large groups they are annoying that is why every time I start a campaign I kill them off before they expand.

Pontus. With a passion. It's only because i've recently played a campaign as Armenia and as Greece, and it happened to be that i fought Pontus a lot. Losing generals to them though, plus their huge stacks is enough to make me hate them lol. Oh and Egypt, i quit my Parthian campaign because of them. They just had so MANY full armies, it was literally impossible to do anything

Unless you're the AI.

[Captain Arrrgh!]

I hate the factions that ally with you, then attack you two turns later, then send a diplomat offering:
"Do this or we will attack/Please don't attack."

Oh, wait, that's every faction.

[Cyrus Da Great]

I really hate the Pontus, Brutti, Egypt.

[loseless]

Parthia & Scythia. I absolutely hate horse archers. I usually don't rely on light cavalry, so countering them always brings me more casualties than what I would like...

[Mik528]

Egypt. For reasons stated.

[Punic Hoplite]

I've always hated Egypt and Numidia. Both field armies of skirmishers or just utter crap units, and have maybe a unit or two that is halfway decent. Another faction I hate is Parthia and Scythia. HA's, HA's, and more HA's..... NO!

[Genius of the Restoration]

Scythia. Not worth invading, but just send HAs which are annoying and a pain to kill.

[Parzival2211]

Egypt (as an enemy) for the reasons stated already.

[candi81]

Gaul. They demand a ceasefire along with Narbo Martius as soon as you have taken it over. Annoying. Otherwise, Germania for thinking they can attack you then get wiped out when you counter-attack.

[Grymloq]

Romans, they're just too strong ad the other AI get always defeated
Egypt, ugly, unhistorical and too strong in autobattles due to general's chariots

[Fides]

Britania, stupid chariots grrrrrrrrr.....

[tianzong]

Britania, stupid chariots grrrrrrrrr.....

that said the romans to when they had to rediscover how to fight them again
I personally hate numidia and carthage because they are totally not equally leveled to the romans

[Darth_Revan]

gauls are annoying

[BrokenLantern]

Spain, God damn, they are annoying. Their bull warriors can go toe to toe with S/S Legionary Cohorts. So annoying.

[TheFoolOnTheHill]

thats a lie
