Who's your favorite faction?

Sorry for the generic thread, but there's not much going on in the NTW section here, so I don't think it'd hurt Besides, this sort of post is inevitable, and I want the prestige points for being the first, like building the first 1st Rate in ETW.

Well, for me, it's France. Being a little of a Francophile in this period and an admirer of Napoleon, it's only natural. They have the best looking "regular" uniforms; Fusiliers of Line look like something from a ETW unit pack DLC while everyone else's main line units look pretty average (not from CA laziness, from what I can tell that's the way it was). They have the best unit in the entire game in the Old Guard, their guard artillery units are super accurate, they have AWESOME cavalry. I wish they had riflemen but they make up for it in other areas. Then there's Napoleon himself, as well as all his Marshals who I actually recognize, unlike most of the generals in the other factions who aren't the top ones.

When they first announced Empire and before I knew that it was going to stop at 1799, I instantly thought "Holy ****, I get to play as Napoleon in a TW game!" But NOOO Well now that I finally can, it's awesome.
