Still deciding what to play first.
Rulling out Romani as i`ll play them once the mod reaches a more completed phase, the first version will only have the polybian reform (marian and imperial for later patches)
Ptolemaioi seems awesome, and i loved them in EB1, the new faction Boii seems a good choice as well. Epeiros is my favorite from KH/Macedon/Epeiros, so might choose it too. Casse was my favorite EB1 faction so it would make sense for me to try Pritanoi first but im not sure i want to play my first campaign with a quite isolated faction.
Theres just too many factions!
Bosphorus kingdom and Pergamon will probably have quite an epic and interesting campaign. Theres also Pontus who i played oftenly in EB1... As a matter of fact the only factions i didnt play in EB1 and probably wont play in EB2 are Arche Seleukeia (just too damn big), Koinon Hellenon and Sweboz. But on the last they added Lugiones and the Boii around it, so it seems Sweboz will be much more interesting!
They also added an indian faction, and Baktria as always looks freaking stuning.(they also added a celtiberian faction, a numidian faction and Nabata)
