im with simon on the fact there will be more greeks playing than anything else, it seems 300 has has a large affect. But saying this the greeks do have all the best and most well known heroes.
I personally know more about egyptians than any of the other cultures due to be surrounded by the stuff for my entire life. They did have some "heroes" but these were more like successful generals rather than heroes like Jason and all that.
A problem that the Egyptian "Heroes" have is that they often became gods after being seen as a great leader etc. for instance Amonhotep, who became Amon-Ra
What really draws me to the Egyptians is that there is going to be interactions with their Gods more so than the other cultures. I reckon this because out of all the culture's gods, (although i dont know anything about the carthaginians) there were the ones most likely, in their mythology, to walk around with humans. The Greek gods just seemed to play with the humans but not actually be around them, ditto the roman gods, and the persians seem to have only one God.
The idea of the Greek mythical beasts appeals to me loads though. Running around killing cylops, minotaurs and all that shiz sounds pretty cool.
Putting aside the question of culture, if you can, do any of you have any idea on what sort of character you would like to play? It seems like they are going try and make you choose from one of the following for each culture : Warleader, Warrior, Priest, Philospher, Worker
