What Are You Going to Play First?

[Rezza]

Egypt!

[Mary The Quene]

Rome after all the game is after them

[IlluminatiRex]

Iceni because of the whiners.

[Serkelet]

Iceni because of the whiners.

The whiners don't care what faction you play.

[IlluminatiRex]

The whiners don't care what faction you play.

They influenced my decision by complaining about the Iceni so much. I am going to play as them first to see if all the whining and hate was justified.

[V&M]

Ptolemaics

[BigHairyMelon]

I cant decide. I feel like I should play Rome first because it is Rome 2 but in my first Campaign I usually have to play on easy/normal to get used to it and I don't want my Rome campaign to be a pushover. If the prologue is really informative then I will play as Rome.

[Skillreaver]

Can't decide between Rome, Carthage and especially Egypt.I also feel like I should play as Rome -the roman units look great and all but it's really tempting to rewrite the history not to repeat it during the first playthrough.Those heart breakingTotal War decisions.... I quess that in the end I'll have to toss up to decide this

[General Grievous]

Come on... why Rome? They have already win! Don't you wantto try something more challanging?

[Lieutenant Sharpe]

Rome--Sparta or Athens--Carthage--and then maybe Epirus

[ls612]

Rome first, because I like to save the good stuff for later. Actually Rome will probably end up being one of my favorites, but after that I'll go for Carthage and then Athens. The barbarians can wait.

[Centurio (Latin)]

Hmm, Rome has always been my top faction so i guess i'll play as Rome first but then i'll definitely play as either Sparta, Athens or Carthage as they are also favorites of mine although not as much as Rome.

[lacrossepl9]

I think I'm going with Macedon, I may start as Rome just to get the feel for the game but my first full campaign will be Macedon, not overly difficult for a first campaign, great starting position, great variety in units, and I want to be the next Alexander, after Macedon probably gonna play as the Suebi just cus they look like a lot of fun, this is the first total war game where there are so many great factions to choose from that will offer such different experiences, this is the first Total War where I don't have a favorite faction simply because I want to play them all they all look amazing...well except Pontus I just don't like them other than them I will play all the factions.

[Spartacus041]

1) Carthage
2) Rome
3) Parthia
4) Iceni
5) Pontus

[Aeneas Veneratio]

Pontus, going to make an AAR with them I hope the tutorial will be sufficient introduction to the mechanics and gameplay of Rome 2, because it will be the only preperation before the Pontic Empire of North Africa, Middle East and Europe shall emerge.

[Fallen Angel Ezekiel]

Roma victor!

[war1machine]

Iceni for definite; the romans: they came, they saw, they ran away. Good catch phrase for when the iceni kick some roman ass i think

[SwedishPagan]

Seubi its the closest to Scandinavia so why not. Then Athens or Sparta.

[Poseidon45]

Rome so I can see what the family system is all about

[Ltd.]

definitely parthia, though I don`t remember having seen any horse archers, yet.
