...my MTW campaign. I plan on resuming MTW "work" this weekend, and I will play XL and BKB Super Mod, but I want a taste of vanilla before.
Anything but the Byzantines.
Thanks guys. I hope I can play multi so I can clash with you fellas.

Polish. :yes:
Tough start, nice role-playing options as time evolves (Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Baltic domination, competing against the Rus, Rhomaïoi and Germans...) and the chance to meet the Horde. ~D

Is Hungary playable? :D
the Irish or as the teutonic order =D
Lithuania and/or Bohemia. Lithuania because no one likes you, they'll drop your alliance like that. Bohemia becuase its the HRE miniturized.
I don't agree with Irish. The Irish are really powerful once they have Britian.

Hungary is playable; Lithuania, Ireland or Teutonic Order aren't. Ireland was not a unified faction anyway...Quote:

Agreed. Take quickly Volhynia and Moldavia (for Avar Nobles), sue for alliances with HRE and Hungary and and then go to east, Novgos might be a problem soon after. Don't forget to conquer rebel regions with low-cost units, you may need to leave conspicuous garrisons once taken. And don't be afraid to take Kiev too, 1231 is a long wait and in between, Kiev a rich province (moreover, you'll be able to train Steppe horses - faster and cheaper than Horsemen - the only cavalry choices available in Early with a few buildings).Quote:

Like you I just restarted my "MTW-career" and started a game as the Armenians in high with the XL-mod. A nice challenge.
Currently I am the Genoese having started early and this has proved to be a game with a great variety of challenges: to your north you have factions with larger armies than you (France and HRE), to your south and west opportunistic factions that are churning out fleets for fun (Venice and Sicily).
