Iberia vs Seleucids

[Mary The Quene]

Nah the Egyptian ones are the biggest and best.

Good trolling sir

Anyway,

I voted for Iberians because I feel they are not quite "barbarian" in the Iceni/Seubi sense of the word and have some pretty unique soldiery.

It would certainly make for an interesting campaign to go up against Rome and Carthage.

Both

Well, we have to take into account that many people don't know much about Iberians, if they know something about them at all. Especially the kids.
On the other hand, first things you hear about Seleucids is: Armoured elephants, chariots and silver shields. Sounds way cooler.
Iberians are a complete unique faction, nothing like carthage, nothing like the other barbarians. But I think Iberia and Seleucids will come both in future. Although I would like Bactria instead of Seleucids a lot more.

hah nice try, we have slingers

[Mary The Quene]

We also have seleucid hellenic heavy scythed chariots

 

[Strattios]

But it's closer then i thought.

Because many people are voting against Seleucids rather than for Iberians.
We have always had a huge starting faction (until S2) that had a huge variety of units and started off in a terrify position surrounded by enem:es on their unstable borders. Way more of a challenge than a single region clan on a peninsula that no longer even has a Carthaginian presence apparently.

No problem my romanized infantry will come in action! and they will attack you from behind and will destroy them!

 

[Nicolaos]

The results so far are actually pretty close. I wouldn't have guessed that

thougth it would be the usual überstomp for Seleucids, but yeah Iberians are holding off well enough.

Agreed, there are other sub forums for that.

 

[Chris1982]

Can we please have both?

 

[Doe3000]

Hopefully, we'll have both but if I had to choose, I go with the Iberians. Why? Although the Seleucids are cool and all, the Iberians will be very unique and different from the other factions in the roster, while the Seleucids will just be another Hellenistic faction -yes, I get that they have special scythed chariots and Indian elephants etc - but nothing the Seleucids can field will be as unique as the Iberian tribes.
