Hopefully, we can get a definitive A-Z of factions for newcomers to browse and inspire Rome veterans to try a new country. Try to include some valid pros and cons, government type, when the faction is playable from and maybe a bit of historical info if you like (keep it short, though! Haha)! This is for vanilla Rome (Rome & VV) v2.32b only. Obviously, I can't do this alone, so I'm asking all you good, good people to give your opinions on each country (from any scenario) and I'll update it in this post. Hopefully, this thread will help newcomers in deciding the best nation for them. Often, I see topics by people asking "what is the best country to start", or sometimes I see people choosing an obscure tribe and becoming disillusioned with EU Rome due to the difficulty. I thought I'd start a similar topic to help out players who are new to Rome. So, I was looking around the EU3 forum a while ago and noticed that someone had posted a useful guide to choosing which country to play as.
