Re: Which Hellenistic faction do you prefer?
Do not try to show them Hellenistic faction.
Pontus is a eastern faction.Persian&Greek mixture
and seleucid client,they have their own language and culture(Persia Media and Sagartia),They only give tribute to seleucid.
otherwise,they weren't in game as faction.
Sassanian are coming!!!!!!

Re: Which Hellenistic faction do you prefer?
No, i would rather say they are eastern (persian) who adopted many aspect of the hellenistic culture and posed as champions of hellenism later against Rome.
They definitely stressed their persian origins when dealing with their eastern subjects and the eastern states.
They are a mix and they used both of their identities (hellenic and persian).
But i don't think defining them as hellenistic with eastern influence is accurate, even if i agree that they were for a large part a hellenistic state thanks to their adoption of greek culture, greek "philoï" and inter-marriage.

Re: Which Hellenistic faction do you prefer?
Persian&Greek mixture, meaning Hellenistic faction, just like the Seleucids. The Pontians were Anatolian people, with a Persian ruling class and Greek influences from the cities of the Pontic coast.
Under the patronage of Emperor Maximinus Thrax
"Steps to be taken in case Russia should be forced out of war considered. Various movements [of ] troops to and from different fronts necessary to meeting possible contingencies discussed. Conference also weighed political, economic, and moral effect both upon Central and Allied powers under most unfavorable aspect from Allied point of view. General conclusions reached were necessity for adoption of purely defensive attitude on all secondary fronts and withdrawing surplus troops for duty on western front. By thus strengthening western front [those attending] believed Allies could hold until American forces arrive in numbers sufficient to gain ascendancy."

Pontus was Hellenistic before the Persians arrived...

Re: Which Hellenistic faction do you prefer?
Have to go with Athens, coolest name, best colours IMO and ofcourse awesome Navy and hitsory
Re: Which Hellenistic faction do you prefer?
ariyan, Pontus is Hellenistic faction. Are you fan of Persian/Parthians? If yes, I understand why you think that Pontus isn't Hellenistic. It is not objective. Pontian culture was Hellenistic and some regional elements. Villagers are eastern (In Seleucids too) but citizens adopted Hellenistic clothes, architecture etc. Pontians used Greek style army - phalangites, hoplites, companions. They used Hellenistic cataphracts probably, similar to Seleucids, not Parthians.

Re: Which Hellenistic faction do you prefer?
Voted Macedon. Bactria is a close second though.

Re: Which Hellenistic faction do you prefer?
Pontus for sure... and they are hella Hellenistic... even Hellenic to some extent as they used to be a colony of Hellenic Greece as well as a state of Hellenistic power.

Re: Which Hellenistic faction do you prefer?
Epirus, followed closely by Macedon.

Re: Which Hellenistic faction do you prefer?
In Rome 1 Pontus was eastern culture faction, but it was a big mistake. In mods like EB, RS2 Pontus is Hellenistic faction. It will be in Rome 2, too.
Re: Which Hellenistic faction do you prefer?
Athens first, followed by bactria ( can't vote unfortunately)
Re: Which Hellenistic faction do you prefer?
I'd have said Pontus are definatley Greek, obviously not 100% greek, but style of battle, equipment and troops is definately Greek influence.
Just completed a year long course on them during their golden age. Its Athens for me.

Re: Which Hellenistic faction do you prefer?
Epirus, followed closely by Pontus. Pryuss and Mithradates are two of my favourite generals of antiquity...and Pontus is definitely a hellenic power, what with their hellenic culture and hellenic armies and what not...

Re: Which Hellenistic faction do you prefer?
Pontus is definitely Germanic ^^
Voted Ptolemies as I think that one will be most interesting. Macedon is a good second.
Of the Greek dlc I find Epirus most interesting because of their proximity to rome.
Furthermore, Knossos could be fun to play, just sit on the island and don't give a damn on what the other factions do.

Re: Which Hellenistic faction do you prefer?
Selucids of course.
They have the best hellenistic unit roster.
Anyway, i've got a question. Will Athens have Phalanx type units? (like Macedon)
