Re: Dark Age of the Vikings - A TLK hotseat (checking interest)
East Franks are very powefrful early on, akin to the ERE in SS. However with the scripted 5000 or more bonus gold just for walking in a city, nevermind sacking it, anyone can make money. And ports and sea trade still rule the income. Even more so with extra buildings provided (albeit at a hefty 6000 price).
I'd probably go for Denmark and make your life hell if you are the EFE :D

These are: (1) The Moral Law; (2) Heaven; (3) Earth;
(4) The Commander; (5) Method and discipline.

I wouldn't mind going Normans or Wessex...Originally Posted by Myth

The Normans are very sucktastic right now - one 1/4 stack, no fleet and a very poor province. They can't hope to take the imbalanced rebels around them (see Paris for example) and the EFE can take them on with a third-rate stack.
Wessex however is one of the strongest factions based on starting position, unit roster and development of it's cities. It can become very rich very fast with all that sea trade, and it's 40 defense infantry can stomp most other things on the island.
Remmeber to:
Always ally with the Vikings faction as their scripted attacks will hurt like hell otherwise.
Build ports and +trade fleet buildings with priority, even if they cost a ton. Then build +tradeable resources buildings. Trade gives you tons of gold AND grows population (LooseCanon you can tell the guys over at TWC this. I've tested it)
Occupy your own culture and exterminate enemy cultures (this is valid for the viking factions mostly, you can build culture conversion churches)
