Thread: Which faction
I have been playing VI for a while and i have still not been able to find a faction that i like to play with. I have tried with just about every faction and failed miserably. I f anyone has any suggestions or reccomendations please help
It really depends on your playing style:
If you like attacking with extremely heavy infantry: Vikings
If you like dancing around with light infantry: Irish
If you like charging downhill with swordsmen: Scots
If you like sniping your foes from long range: Welsh
If you like horse archers & crossbows: Picts
Other than that, well, i can't say really.
What went wrong in your campaings?

I would reccomend the Danes. They start small but, that makes them easy to manage and, their in a good position to control the Baltic. Playing the Danes isn't as complex as factions like, the HRE and, Byz in early and, I find that refreshing. Also the ability to build Huscarles in early is just awesome.
Thanks for the help i'll try those factions soon

try reading the guide forum stuff. I have some tactics posted there for most factions.
blitzing neighbors early on is enough to solve most cash problems.
also see the MTW economics 101 thread for more economy tips.
contrary to popular belief of it being total war, I find total economics to be a good start and building farms and mines, then trade should be your priority over advanced military.
spearmen and archers when used well can keep you sufficiently secure militarily for quite a while.

Maybe we should change the name of the game to Total Empire, since the issues involved are more of econs, troop management and general/governor grooming than fighting. My HRE/Early/Expert had most battles on auto-calc (won with heavy casualties) due to laziness (and lack of time) and I have hit the 60% mark by the middle of High. MTW has taken quite a bit off the battlefield onto the strategic map. STW had things much simpler and less management intensive, where you concentrate on fighting battles more.try reading the guide forum stuff. I have some tactics posted there for most factions.

Regarding spears and archers, dont forget to add the urbies.
Well since i got VI, finally 
played a few games and i can say Irish are loads of fun. Gallowglasses with a charge of 8 and armor piercing just eat anything when charging, especially any viking wearing armor. They are way better that scottish clansmen and i just love seeing how 1/4 of an enemy unit dies in the initial charge. They lack any archers though, but make it up with javelins.
I won't go into the original MTW, too many factions and it's too early in the morning now.
