New KOTR game:Faction Poll

I voted for France. It seems to have the best combination of the things we're looking for, and plus there's the very good chance that we can do something yet to be completed in these PBMs: Invade Britain and Iberia.

I voted Italy, Iberia and Templars.

I might have voted France also but people would have thought me biased...

(I'll start a French beginner's course if that faction is chosen... Or maybe I'll have a rule added asking that all IC posts be made in French... The revenge of the French

)

Having given this some thought in the interim, I think France or the ERE are our best bets. Unfortunately, I didn't vote for France.

**Ferret** · 04-21-2008, 17:17

Poland would probably be my first choice, Kiev and Novgorod to the East, plenty of rebel places for us to snag, threat of Mongols later on, has the Pope to worry about and crusades to go on, powerful factions to the West (HRE), South (Hungary) and North (Denmark). Enemies on all sides but with plenty of room, sounds perfect.

Voted England, one pro tincow forgot, longbowmen are no longer AP, which does feel like cheating when you use 6-10 units of them. So winning battles with England wont be as easy as in vanilla.

France, I would look forward to a beginners guide to french orders and warfare.... :)
Templars could do with it also, but there my lowest preferance, since they'll be stuck in the desert allmost all game

Also voted ERE, as they get new units and are surrounded

and the turks, for janissary fun.

All in all, France seems the best, plus we'd get to rename the ranks to include count (says this with bad french accent) and other fun french titles

That could cause much humor in the game. I can see the Dread Duke turning to the Idealistic Crusader in the Parliament and saying, "excuse me, but I believe I soiled my knickers" when he really meant to say "I will cut your heart out with a spoon!"

I wonder who will play the next dread duke?

I have a pair of black metal shoulder plates here that I used to wear when I was writing his stories.

Thats awesome.

I wish I could say that I would wear a big white cape with a red cross stitched on it when I logged in but I didn't.

As for who will play the next one, we'll see. From my experience, it seemed people would start moving to the other end of the spectrum when they perceived the one end as having too much presence. As for me, I'm curious what traits my avatar will have. If he has enough "dread" traits that I think will be fun to RP, then I'll give it a spin.

Voted Templar, Denmark and Novgorod.

Although admittedly Templar doesn't suit civil warring.

I'm not so sure FH. I'm tempted to vote Templar. I like the Order and its history, all the intrigue and back stabbing could be good.

And who knows what went on behind the scene's back then.
