    Some Mod should add "egypt" as a culture.

    Well, Egyptian culture pretty much vanished by the time of RTW, because of hellenisation in wake of Alexander's conquest. What you see in RTW is pretty much mix of pre-Achamenid Egypt with a little mix of late Ptolemaic era. Not being a real culture, its presence in poll is questionable.

    The question was: "Which culture do you prefer/favor on RTW?"

    And RTW has 6 cultures: Roman, Greek, Carthage, Eastern, Barbarian, Egypt.

    So in RTW terms it is a real culture, and should thus be represented in the poll.

    On the historical point of view I agree with you, but RTW isnīt Historically correct.

    Anyways,

    I love the Romans' legionnaires, the Hellenic hoplites, and the barbarians'.. Barbarians.

    But I'm gonna have to go with middle eastern. I LOVE their cataphracts and their factions' flashy colors.

    Voting for everything but Carthaginian felt kinda mean too, so..

    Nope, it isn't historically correct:: which is why there are people making game modifications.

    Barbarian culture. I know it's an oxymoron, but I like their emphasis on speedy starts with early access to good units.

    Greek/Hellenic. Playing as Macedonia and rebuilding Alexander's empire is just too fun!

    Eastern. I like cataphracts over the western cavalry, and i like their "trade route" buildings, which give access to a loooot of extra money, and i like their style of infantry. Desert-style armour/weapons. Im a fan.

    Second place was barbarian, as i like the special units that come of their temples.

    Carthaginian. Need I say more?
