I have them all except Empire.

Rome is my favorite. Just can't keep away. I love the period!
I got Extended Greek Modified and never looked back.

Without this mod, Rome Vanilla had a very limited lifespan for me.
The ridiculous Egyptian faction troops, the "oliphaunt" rebel army, the
"phalanx" Germans and assorted other insults to anyone with the slightest understanding of Ancient Greece and Rome drove me crazy. I remember rantng when I first encountered the "oliphaunts" "WTF? What's next? Zombie giants?"

Med 1 was crap, Med 2 was better but never really grabbed me. I got put off by being able to recruit highland rabble in North Africa and Constantinople. I was a bit peeved that I couldn't play my favorite period, as the developers skipped over the whole pike and musket era until I found "For King or Country".

The moral of the story?

Thank God for modders.
