Talking more about the rosters than campaign possibilities, and given that I'm not sure what are the MP's most valued factions, I'd say that Saba receives few love, since Kush has all the attention in the Desert Kingdoms DLC. I feel myself like a cavalry commander, so I couldn't enjoy with them at all. I remember watching a Spaniard youtuber getting away with an Ardiaei army in MP (lots, lots of armour piercing damage + a little but strong core of hoplites). So what are YOUR favourite underrated faction? The Ardiaei aren't anywhere near the best battle faction in the game but they are WAY above what people rate them as. I do agree that the Ardiaei have some of the worst cavalry and melee units in the game, HOWEVER, their illyrian Hoplites are very good units with 105 armour, as high as royal spartans.Īnd if you invade Eprius on turn one and DON'T replace their hoplite barracks you can recruit illyrian hoplites by turn two, basically meaning your early game weakness is null and void. When the enemy run out of reach just put a cheap marine unit as bait and watch as the foolish foe charges at your one helpless unit while you tear them apart with your tower ships. You can break down enemy walls and sail your tower ships to pick away at their land units. The Ardiaei is the only barbarian faction to use Greek ships and they use the barbarian port type instead of the Greek one, meaning on their FIRST port they have access to Tetreres and on the second port upgrade, the Ardiaei have access to tower ships, artillery ships and the massive Penteres ship type. I think a faction that gets ignored by the community a fair bit is the Ardiaei.
