Got to love England
Time to unite the United Kingdom the take france
From the dusty steppes onto gates of city of emperors city of Constantine the Great city of Constantinople. It shall fall into our hands we'll rise a new empire by the help of Allah. Carry proudly Sultan's banner, Ride the horse over three continents, lead the valiant Janissaries to victory, hit the drum again and spread fear into your enemies heart.
This winter battlefields will shake under the feet of Ottoman armies.
Basileia ton Rhomaion!! :2thumbsup:
I cannot tell you until I actually play the game...
The Turks for sure. The best in the Medieval world. I like to defeat crusaders and make alliances between islamic factions. Become a powercenter of eastern europe and ruler of the islam. Trying to making historical borders of the Ottoman Empire. :2thumbsup: So get the city of constantinople and change its name to Istanbul :charge:
I think id have to go with the danes. They're by far the most enjoyable faction ive played as. Excellent naval superiority, and in a good spot to take lots of rebel provinces. Ace troops, and a good position on the map put the Danes at the top for me.
I did enjoy playing as the Byzantines, egyptians and hungary, but the Danes still take it :D
Im also quite intrested in playing some of thge new factions, ie. Scotland, and the unconquerable portugal!!
Wait, you've played the game already?Quote:

@ Scriba, sorry about that, I thought when I was making the poll I had them all listed. My bad.
YA!
i went with venice because i like the look of the venetian heavy infatry, they're well armoured but effective against armour.
btw i didn't get the beta testing thing so if anyone's got a screenshot of the venetians choice of units on custom battle that'd be great ;)
OK, I've added it now.Quote:

It always feels good to play the Underdog
I wanted to say Turks, since they rocked in MTW, but Spain is an interesting choice. Now with Portugal as a faction, and the fact that there are so many factions in close proximity with Spain means that the Iberian Peninsula will be a place of many battles
A lot will depend on the game itself, but my favourite MTW1 faction is probably the Byzantines, followed by the Turks, followed by the Danes.
I used to be a big heavy infantry fan (and still am) in MTW, however, Rome showed me the joys of horse archers, which I then brought back to Medieval.
I vote Turks! After them, I'll probably be playing as Russia and Poland. Russia was a fight for survival in MTW. I have many fond memories of my brave halberdiers holding off the Golden Horde with insane numbers of casualties on both sides.
Being the English always flames the passion for my countries history in me, so I just have to go with the English. This time I've got some Scots to sort out too :laugh4:
What the chap above said. The English. Now we got both frog and haggis eaters and their kings to slaughter -- from afar, with ourcowardlyexcellent longbows!
Oh. hmm...~:doh: I feel like an idiot.Quote:

Well, I did vote for the Mongols, but as far as I know: we won´t be allowed to play them? Right?
Right.Quote:

Ok, so what do you guys think of the Timurids? what advantages do they give as a faction and what good units do they have?
Damm!Quote:

Off Topic
Am I missing something? Is this directed to people on this forum who are doing beta testing? Or has there been some sort of development that I've missed?Quote:

Too bad they wont be playable in the campaign but it's alright, I'll have to play the crap out of them in Multiplayer/Custom.
Byzantium, surely. Though the new Italian city states look tempting... And what happened to Aragon? They didn't take them out just to have Scotland, did they? :inquisitive:
