Help needed urgently

Ok, I made a bet with a friend that I would beat him in Medieval II multiplayer.

The problem is that I have never played the game being a strictly Rome:Total War and EB fan. My friend however has spent many hours on the game.

I need some tips on which faction and combination to use.

We are going to play two battles, swapping defending sides with no late period units. Note that my friend will probably use the French

Click on the Sticky ... Basic Guide

There you will be able to get information on what you are asking.

There is also the guide I wrote...it was for 1.1 patch so there are things like the shield bug that do not exist anymore, but overall it still provides a good start.

My advice would be to play a few MP games to warm up; the style of play is drastically different.

Accept to lose, play to win.

I can't give you specific advise Vorian, sorry.

Never mind we played twice, first time I was the defender with the English and he had French. It was like Agincourt all over again.

Second time I attacked and chose Byzantines..he had Russians. Sadly the Varangian guard was not like the old medieval and I lost badly. And his horse archers decimated me.

So it's 1-1 now. Thanks anyway
