Hi MongolWarrior

I may be being patriotic but I recommend England.

If you take Flanders and let go of Normandy, Anjou and Aquataine you only have 1 border. Also you can invade the 3 province island of Scandinavia which has good trade goods and only gives you 1 more border to defend.

With Flanders and Scandinavia intact you have great income flowing in once trade is up and running.

Also what troops, V2 Longbows in Wales and V2 Billman in Mercia in Late and Hobilars in Early.
