You need 25 posts to vote.

Would have chosen Seleucids if they were a choice, for all round roster strength.

How should we know? My guess would be Rome, but how could we possibly know?

I voted Rome but it is only an opinion, post only your opinion

Rome has got better units than others factions (I think) and in few turns Rome can conquer Italy and trade with the most important factions

Ok I'd go for Rome too.

BTW it's Arverni, not Gauls

I voted Rome and carthage (carthage have a very nice position at the begin of the game with a lot of advantages) like in real history at the first punic war...

i think that from a gameplay point rome is better because of italy...once conquered you just have to guard a couple of city in the north and they less territory, while chartage goes from iberia to egipt...a lot of land XD

yes your right, rome have a better situation for guard his territory but i think carthage have more money and a better maritim trade.

Rome..because about it is the game O.O

[SturmChurro]

I'd have to say probably Rome, but it really depends on the playstyle of the player I think.

[Augustus Scipius]

Egypt is initially one of the strongest, as it has two wonders, four resources, no major factions nearby other than the Seleucid Empire, another wonder in its neighbor, and a vassal with two regions with a rather rare resource.

[HannibalExMachina]

would that be the strongest playable faction? because with all its client factions, im quite sure the (unplayable) seleucides will be the strongest. the gauls are the arveni btw.

@Ellixhirion

afaik you need more posts to vote in a poll.

[-=PHX=-Hades]

Looking at the starting positions I would have to say Egypt looks strongest. Hard to say without seeing what shape the cities are in or what kind of armies they start out with.

[Lord Dakier]

You only need to look in the previous Rome. They was a wrecking machine, although there was 4 factions lol.

[The Juggernaut]

Definitely Carthage. Historically they were on the ascendant in this period, and they own a large number of regions to start off with, plus two rather large vassal states. No reason why we don't see Carthage expand into Sicily and Spain in the first couple of turns, and I think any Roman player will have there work cut out for them if they decide to tangle with Carthage too early.

[Yayattasa]

The one controlled by the human player?

haha

On topic though: Rome. Roman soldiers are the most effective infantry when in formation. Usually have the highest end stats and are in many ways multi-purpose units. There's no way a game could ever make the Romans balanced like everyone else.

[Igor85]

At the start it should - and it looks also it is - be Carthage.
