wich is your favorite faction in all the totalwar games?
My all time favorite faction in any of the TW games is England. Just something about Longbowmen I like :) When I get M2TW that will probably be the first faction I play as.
Im not sure, probably the Byzantines in MTW, followed by the Usegi Clan in Shogun.
Definitly the Byzantine Empire in MTW or the Scipii in RTW
STW: Shimazu, MI: Hojo
MTW: Byzantines, VI: Saxons
RTW: Seleukids, BI: ERE
Probably the Italians in M:TW and the Armenians in R:TW
The Danish in MTW.
probably the carthaginians.. because they drank the blood of babies. :barrel:
Hmmm...
I guess Makedonia.
Shogun: Hojo
MI: Mongols
MTW: Byzatium
VI: Irish
RTW: Egypt or Julii
BI: Vandals
Almohads. I adore AUMs, pure and simple.
The WRE in BI - something about a doomed Rome facing off with a horde of barbarians catches my imagination. The opening video of BI catches the sentiment quite nicely with its music and images. The gameplay is also fun and challenging - I like playing defensively when the computer is out to get me (HRE in MTW and Oda in STW are my favorites for similar reasons).
The Turks !
The Greek Cities in RTW.
I always found playing as the Greek cities fun, i always had a ton of money, just the way the phalanx works annoys me, i can never use it well. There lack of cavalry irks me as well. I haven't played Greek Cities once i found Macedonia though.
France!Best units plus easy economics!I'm mad about the French!:dizzy2:Quote:

Ah, one problem my friend, im in the stone age, yes thats right DIAL UP lol:wall:Quote:

My favourite TW factions:
STW: Shimazu
MI: Mongols (Some choice given that there's only two :inquisitive:)
MTW: Polish
VI: Vikings
RTW: Macedon
BI: Romano-British
I must say I've never become as attached to a given faction in the original games as I have in mods. That could be a good or a bad thing.
Antagonist
Selecids
Egypt in RTW.
Byzzz
i've also always got a lot of enjoyment out of playing Poland for some reason, maybe just the location or the underdog factor, im not sure but i played them an awful lot........back in the days when my MTW disk1 was in one piece.....
The Spanish in MTW (or Castille-Leon in the XL Mod). I'm an absolute fanatic for Jinnettes! ~;)
For MTW, my favourites where the Turks... the yanissaries where along whith the chivalrics the best units in the game.And the Vlahs also (in the mod which enables them)
In RTW, unmodded , i love Pontus... i just like building fortifications across all the passes of Anatolia :laugh4:
STW: Mori
MI: Hojo
MTW: Turks
VI: Irish/Welsh
RTW: N/A
BI: N/A
I would say without a doubt it's got to be the Byzantines. With their kataphracts, varangian guard, and Byzantine infantrymen, you can carve through just about any opponent. I think the biggest challenge playing as them is the desert heat, because of their heavy armor.
