The English, Most popular faction ?????

[Louis de la Ferte Ste Colombe]

In high era MP, English are by far the most popular faction. Although billmen are seldom played, I guess that people likes longbowmen and having both Templar and Chivalric knights. And Highland Clanmen.

From time to time, players choose the English faction without taking any special english units.

Despite being the most played faction, it's also the faction that, in all my logfiles also got the lowest % of victory. Eastern Roman are close second. Quite odd that the factions with supposedly the best units selection end up at the bottom of faction ranking...

Louis,

My first few games were English, not to mention the first game for total domination was also English.

I like longbowmen and billmen.

1st ever games I played, I started off as the Almohades, simply becasuse of my 1st visit to Spain I read a book out there on Spains early history and came across the Moors. Then of course I played as Spain or Aragon just to try out the reconquesta !

For my own, i am agree with Adrian II a couple of provinces in a safe area with goods for trade. Build army and economy quietly and wait and see..

I adore the English, mainly because I heavily admire the British Empire, and Englishmen like Cromwell and the Black Knight. I'm trying to force myself to only play them, ever.

i think this "corner-games" are far too simple, when i play such a corner-faction i invade some provinces in the middle of the map and try to stand there (a lot of fun).
normally i start from a heavily attacked position and try to grow while beein attacked - i like challenging games (only play on expert - and with the byzantines at late-age this is very challenging)
