(A great place to find out more is the Cultural Groups page on the Wiki). Incidentally, if you like Hellenic warfare, there are more Hellenic-style factions than you might have thought. The Hannibal at the Gates pack gives us the Arevaci, the Lusitani and Syracuse (in the Grand Campaign) and adds a separate Hannibal campaign. I'm assuming I'll need the Greek states culture pack? Btw how is Macedon's campaign?Īlso, what is the difference between Grand campaign and Empire divided except the unit cards/factions/faction rosters? There doesn't seem to be any Greek factions in Empire Divided - cause of the timeline I guess?The Greek states pack makes Athens, Epirus and Sparta playable in the Grand Campaign (the Wrath of Sparta doesn't unlock factions for the Grand Campaign, it makes available a separate campaign). I only see Massilia and Macedon in the grand campaign. This can be a challenging campaign to survive, as your starting position can make it difficult to stay out of a war between the big powers, Rome can be eager to take over your home region and there aren't neighbouring small nations to easily expand into. This puts you in between Rome and Carthage, you could side with either big power against the other or try to stay out of it and expand elsewhere. If that sounds too easy, you could try Syracuse. When you become the main power in Greece as Athens, there's another choice: if Rome is expanding (and perhaps heading for the Marian reforms), do you invade Italy before Rome becomes too powerful (perhaps allying with Massilia) or go east (Hellenic factions seem well-suited to going east)? You can team up with Sparta against Epirus and Macedon, or remain loyal to Macedon (and, when you have expanded, negotiate with Macedon to become an ally instead of a client state). If you enjoy strategy, I recommend Athens and Syracuse in the Grand CampaignĪthens is interesting, for me, because you start as a client state of Macedon so you need to decide how to deal with this. Next on the list, after I finish my Rome and Arverni campaigns, will be the Ptolemies.As Spyrith said, Massilia and Sparta are fun options. Parthia: pure horse archer armies are fun and challenging. Then I traded with Rome to secure peace on the western front and struck out into the East. Set the Getae up as a client state in Dacia as a buffer zone to the north. I secured Greece, Thrace, Pannonia, and Illyricum. Makedon: I had great fun recreating Alexander’s campaign. Tactically, the combination of solid infantry, great cavalry, and respectable ranged units is nice. The Arverni: good use of confederation can help you build a solid empire fairly quickly. And others are basically Gallic, Hellenic, or Italic. Others are more like using Romans with a heavy reliance on Scutarii. They do the standard hammer (shock cavalry and elephants) and anvil (phalanx) really well. I have some armies that are mostly citizens. I like the variety from the available mercenary options.

I really like Rome the best, but I’ve had great fun with several other factions.Ĭarthage: it’s a challenging start, but once you get going, you can build a very strong empire. Think we missed one?
