Yes, I see what you mean. Admittedly, my second campaign was a Byzantine one (for my first I had chosen the Danes, and my king ended up dying 100 years into it with no heirs). I found the Byzantines quite easy, as battles were not too much of a problem due to their strong unit roster, hence allowing me to focus more on the campaign map. Having played STW before MTW, the increased complexity of the campaign map had come as a welcome shock.Originally Posted by Martok
Of course, I see what you are saying. Yes, choosing the Byzantines in your first campaign is like baptism by fire.
I suppose that the Danes would be better. Although Catholic so you have to deal with the Pope, you are right next to the very rich province of Sweden (rebel held, so you will get no warning), and you start with only one province and one border with a rival faction (HRE).
