I like the colour red.

When I first got the game, I only played as the English. Not so much because I liked billmen or longbowmen (both of which I rarely used), but because I liked getting hobilars so early on in the game- getting decent cavalry that early was clutch for me.

Now I mostly switch it up, and play many different factions. My favorite is probably the Turks- Janissaries are just too good.

I haven't played as the English in months. Maybe I should try them out again...

The first faction I played with was the english too. Reason being that I'm english canadian and they are half the origin of my country. The second faction I played as was the french they being the other half of my countries origin.

I assume by the lot of posts I had seen in .com that the Byzantines are the most popular faction in MTW. They have a nice starting positions, powerful units at the beginning and a challenging final game.

Personally I only played English once. I played Turkish, Byzantines, Russians, Egyptians and Aragonese mostly.

My 2 cents.

P.D. I think the faction with all the cards to be the most popular faction in RTW after the Romans will be the Karthies.

Well i am going to break the trend hear, i think i may have played on the campaign as the english maybe only once and that was just for a few minutes. I have played as them on custom battle though. I don't really have a favourite faction but i tend to play the smaller ones and the ones i know least about. So i tend to play as east european factions.

Yeah my first two campaigns were as teh English. Hell, I'm playing another campaign as the English on MEdMod right now.

Well, they're wasy to start with. There's one way for infantry to move across, as long as you control the sea around your island, which isn't to difficult. I always liked being in a corner, so I could focus my forces in a single direction.
