    Icon5 Favorite Rome: Total War Faction?

    Hello. what is your favorite Rome: Total War Faction? Mine in Vanilla Rome: Total War are the Roman Julii family. In some mods, the Illyrians are my favorite Faction.

    Ps: This is my 100th post! I hoped to actually make it good by creating this thread.

    As of late, I have found that I enjoy playing the Gauls, I have almost the whole map conquered with the Gauls.

    I like the Romans but the cavalry of Parthia can totally own them Romans. See the Battle of Carrhae.

    I voted the Greek Cities. I just love greeks, especially after playing the Extended Greek Mod.

    Although Parthia is pretty cool too. Their style of warfare is really cool, and more fun than the usual 'infantry vs infantry' base style in the game.

    Scipii. Awesome starting-position and, of course, great late-game infantry.

    Hear, hear! I agree, and voted same. Roman military is tops in punch and versatility; and Scipii temples and ports allow them a bit more punch than their brethren.

    Though it was close: I really enjoyed playing Gaul. I would have chosen them if their tech tree allowed stone walls.

    Greek Cities. I loved the Greeks since I was 10.
    On the CampMap they have a good economy too, but no Cavalry...

    Got to agree that Armenia has good stuff going on.

    As long as they last against Pontus or the Seleucids, they have an excellent late game roster. They have the cataphract archers Pontus and the Seleucids lack, the heavy infantry that Parthia lacks, and they get imitation legionaires to stomp around with.

    Early game, however, they have a crummy economy, a mediocre position, and some questionable units. Up against Parthia or Pontus they'll do OK, since they have largely identical units, but eastern infantry are simply no match for militia hoplites. Not even hillmen can take them.

    Thank goodness for horse archers.

    I'm not factoring in the Scythians, because they're rarely more than a nuisance. Understanding that they've got nothing but horses though, a human player can make quite the menace out of them.

    I'll throw in a good word for the Germans too; their infantry corps is one of the few that gives Romans something to be afraid of.

    I voted Greek Cities. As a lover of Ancient Greek culture and history they are hands down my favorite faction to play as. Especially while using mods like XGM where the Greeks are given alot more depth as oppose to Vanilla RTW where the Greek unit roster was brutal at best.

    Personaly, I play with no mods or hacks. I play down and dirty pure Rome total war. I remember like 4 years ago me and my dad would rush to the computer on Saturday mornings to see who plays first. When he still played, my dad almost conquered the whole world with the Julii. I've never reely had the attention span to do much for long so I never acheaved that. But some of my FAvs are: Brutii Carthage SElicids Greeks and germania. One time I concqered everything except Africa and asia. The selucids are extremely rich, but back to the point, I reallyvhave no exact fav. Ps check out medeival 2 total war.

    I prefer Britannia. I mean they have some great soldiers like the heavy swordsmen and heavy chariots. I think they also play well against Gauls because Gaul are like down grade to them.

    Julii on the other (with me) aren't as well against Gaul. The house factions lack the amount of heavy infantry in the early period of the game. Plus it takes longer to be able build better recruiting buildings, yet gauls start off with a good garrison to recruit (e.g Warband, there are lots of them but this give a slight more of an advantage).
