I'm interested which factions you like to play in multiplayer , especially when you are playing ladder matches.

For example I like English and Teutonic factions. Novogrod and Kiev Rusia are also interesting but quit hard to pick good units to win.

My personal favourite has to be the Byzantines at the moment. Varangians and Klibanophoroi are simply unbeatable.

On the other hand, I also really enjoy playing the Turks or the Egyptians. And don't forget the Cumans. Some of the Catholic factions are cool too, but I don't find them particularly interesting to play as.

I do agree that eastern factions have more diverse units. (same as in MTW; I like this sentece with 'MTW')
But despite they have less diverse units, it is good to know that you can't miss to much when seting your amry.

I would like test your Byzantine army in near future.

I think Castille is one of my personal favorites. I just love Algaraves/Jinetes combo for hit & run attacks on my opponent (during the archer duel). Both are light cavalry so they can outrun everything else. They only need to stay out of archer fire.

Denmark. I remeber your Denmark 'baby' army Shields. Now I have one army set up for them.

Maybe little advice. I still haven't decide between French and Holy Roman Empire.

After having played a game against Viking Axemen yesterday, I'm wondering if they might also be a bit overpowered (like normal axemen). I've seen them blowing entire battlelines away easily multiple times.

yeah they're probably a bit too strong (almost all AP infantry units needs slight rebalancing) but not as bad as the standard Axemen I think.

Someone should win against Adherbal. It seems that while he is moding he is also practising Chivalry.

*talking to Adherbal*

And there has gone my estate. :p
