Going to join in with these AARs - help me choose a faction

[Kaidonni]

Okay, by the looks of things, Bohemia has 6 votes, Ireland 4, Sweden 7. I'm assuming most who suggested a faction voted, minus Drunk-monk who couldn't (hence why Sweden technically has 7, not just 6).

Hmmm, but what will my final decision be? It's a very close vote. Sweden can be difficult if one doesn't blitz Norway and Denmark (I wouldn't blitz them ). Those Vikings would give me a defensive edge, although I'd be careful not to spam them. I could be in for a very interesting campaign, lots of difficult battles, not being able to afford massive armies.

Bohemia is somewhat similar. The HRE can really pack a punch after the initial offensive, when they've had a chance to recover and gather their forces. Then there's a whole load of other potential enemies on all sides, no access to trading lanes on the open sea, really have to cherry-pick my armies.

I guess...this time...it'll have to be...

Sweden. It kinda does have the most votes...although that does stink of first past the post, not proportional representation. Non-Swedish factions had the most votes...LOL!

Now, just need Tyberius to release the second patch of his mod (I really don't want to mess with the files too much to fix the Gunsmith error, those files have a nasty tendency to break on me, and the backups not fix the problem...).
