To the people saying seleucids they are actually one of the easiest factions in the game I’m doing them at the moment on legendary and as a joke I declared war on every single faction around me only for 90% of them to offer me peace for thousands next turn, you also have maybe the top 3 rosters on the game.Your current IP address has been blocked due to bad behavior, which generally means one of the following: 5 goes to massagetae because your economy is poor and every faction around you hates you and practically all you can make is cav, you will be fighting dahae, khorismi, roxolani and Parthia at the start and it’s very overwhelming. 4 tylis because of the same reasons and Macedonia only attack you for the first couple of turns and you are one of the only factions around you with Celtic influenc. 3 goes to ardieiei because of your trash land units and surrounded by much more powerful factions but you do at least have decent ships. 2 goes to getae mainly because of the same reasons and the fact they need singidun to trade and Balkan culture is rare and everyone seems to hate it. When I think about it I mostly play barbarians, but gotta try the seleucidsĪs someone who has completed nearly every campaign in the game I would say that the odrysians are the hardest no contest because of your bad roster, bad starting location, everyone hating you and having no economy. You're missing out by not giving the Seleucids a fair go, one of the most enjoyable early/mid campaigns in the game in my opinion, you get some aggro from the AI and positioning your forces can become quite important. I mean, Pergamon has to fight Sardis and the Seleucids with what? And Colchis gets destroyed in the first 5 turns because of the bad position and even worse roster The black sea colonies have ♥♥♥♥♥♥ rosters and a bad starting position (except the Cimmeria, that has a decent roster and a nice starting position). Tylis has a decent roster, but you start at war with the Macedonia, and they usually focuse on you for the first 10-30 turns, so its a battle for survival.
The Ardiaei have such a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ roster in the begging that you will soon get stomped by your neighbours, you get the best barbarian fleet in a game where naval combat is broken and meaningless. I find the Ardiaei, Tylis and all of the Black sea colonies have a pretty hard start. The Suebi are not that hard of a faction, and they have a decent barbarian roster (although some of the more useful unites are locked behind the Daughters of Mars and Beasts of War DLC-s) is a script too much to ask for that makes Massalia and Rome optionally buddies?ĭoes the Desert dlc make it harder for Egypt? They're the easiest to play. Some have like none.īlack Sea colonies are rather ridiculous too. You should really go and provide more of those for the others. Masaesyli have plenty of campaign scripts that help them out. Germans like always in history get beaten by the fact that there are enemies all around them. Some are especially shafted by you CA when you forgot to provide a decent unit selection.Īnyway, I tried Seleucid and Epirus once but stopped once the whole world turns on me. Originally posted by WitchingSnake:Essentially everyone that starts off with only a minor settlement. The other factions in the video I haven't played. This also gives you time to beeline the techs that give culture and public order for dealing with the conquest of the east, and hopefully gives the eastern factions time to get distracted fighting each other instead of going after you.īattle wise they aren't that bad if you have good micro, the AI is hopeless against horse archer spam and you can easily shred the armies of low armor units neighboring factions get well into the mid game. The Roxolani are not particularly liked by other nomads so this will give you both a walled city (maybe your entire starting province depending on how the other nomad faction at war with them fared) as a secure border and good relations with most of them. This is why the Roxolani must be taken out before taking over the eastern factions. Their diplomatic penalty with the Eastern factions suggests going after them first but then you have a serious culture problem if you do that and and you don't really get to stop fighting wars and deal with it until all the Eastern factions are dead, and then somewhere in the middle of all that the Roxolani go after you from the other side and probably kill you.
