Any fans of Rome, Medieval, Shogun or other games in the total war series? Whats your favorite faction to play as and why? I'm currently playing as the Massagetae with Wolfmans steppe units mod.

In Rome Total War, I like playing the Selucids. I am a sucker for the Silver, plus I like all-round armies, especially those with elephants.
However, I found the vanilla game to be too easy (on medium difficulty), so I end up playing with mods such as Europa Barbarorum (haven't tried the MTW II version yet).
In Medieval 2 Total War, my favorite faction would be the Holy Roman Empire for similar reasons of the Selucids. It also feels kind of cool to carve off a new Reich in the middle of Europe (even if the faction name is a misnomer).
Empire Total War...eh, I never got the Napoleon DLC, so I wouldn't know, but I hated the game. Bland music, mediocre artillery impact, the inflexibility of hiring agents....it was a nightmare for me.
Shogun 2 Total War, at least FOTS was the game that Empire Total War should have been. It really is a polished piece of work. FOTS-wise; I'd like playing as the Satsuma Clan and try to unify Japan within Saigo Takamori's lifetime. :D
Shogun 2-wise; I'd go with the Date clan, for it rewards aggressive play during battle most. Plus, playing the clan known for its battle prowess (they were even given the epitaph: Masters of Battle at the main menu) has a certain pride on its own.
