Parthia, is exotic. And I'm curious to see if is possible expand through Persia against the huge clients of the seleucids, ignoring the steppes.

Is there a competition going on that I have no clue about?
As of late many posts have VERY missleading titles....
Read my previous post, I don't get how this title is misleading at all. What exactly are you getting from the title?
CA conformation on shipping physical copys early on the otherhand, misleading.
It made me think (and I dont think its only me) that you have info on when the lets play is out.
I want Rome but Suebi for shore as Will said on the spoiler...
From Carthage we only have preee-pre-alpha pics, would be nice to see them, sacred band and their african forest elephants (!) in action.
I hope there is an fight in the next one! Will is a funny comentator.
I would like to see Rome in the Let's Play because I want to see a mixture of all the other factions but not one over the other. Basically we have already seen a lot of Rome and we already know a lot about how they are going to play. I don't want the Let's Play to be a spoiler for the other factions so that when I play as one them I will be nicely surprised.
I would like to see some cataphracts or a phalanx in actual action. I voted for Parthia. Probably CA has already choose to go with the Suebi.
I want Athens, personally. Mostly because it allows us to see the Hellenics (I'm not sure I'm going to count Egypt as Hellenic. They look suspiciously like Ramses' Egyptians so far...), plus we can see the Republic mechanics at work.
When they said Let's play, they didn't mean like full on following one faction from start to finish. It's more like playing a battle as one faction and maybe a little bit of campaign time with them too. Don't expect one faction throughout. This is CA's way of showcasing the variety etc.
I personally invite you to check out my complete combat overhaul which will give you a completely new Rome 2 experience:

I would like to see the Arverni or Seubi, since I would like to see more barbarian gameplay like the kind we saw in Teotoburg Forest. But of course seeing one of the Greek factions or Parthia would be awesome as well.
I would like to see the Iceni chariots in play.

Rome because it'll probably have the most features, so they can show the most about the game. But Suebi is a good second choice.

I hope for some real non-scripted custom battel where an AI controlled macedonia is showing off how good phalanxes work in this game and proves it is capable of maintainging a battle line, effective flanking manouvres and smart skirmishing.
THe player can control the Iceni for all I care, as long as CA finally shows us how well (or not well) phalanxes work

Macedon, because its the faction which have been given the least exposure .
Surely it will be the Iceni. They just had to include them.
