Which factions (emphasis on the plural!) do you actually play on a regular basis?

Aragon. i really like the factions that only start out with one or two provinces and Aragon's definitely my favorite of these factions.i like to expand to Leon asap and then turtle until i can get a chapter house built there and then use crusades to take the rest of the provinces in Iberia and Africa. 5/11 provinces in Iberia/Morocco have iron and all 11 can build ships,so it's really easy to become a serious naval power. there's also plenty of trade resources and gold,silver, and copper in the region. then there's Jinettes, El Cid, Andalusian Cavalary(with XL) choke points, and crusades rarely try to pass through your territory. i really have a hard time finding any negatives with Aragon or Spain.

on a side note(with XL), if you could either play as the Teutonic Knights in Early or start with a Citadel in High, i'd probably play that faction more than any of them. it's pretty easy to take out Novogrod and get their's but it almost feels like cheating every time i do it. i'd rather align with them and expand towards Prussia and Pomerania but that Citadel is always too tempting to pass up.
