I saw this topic in the Entrance Hall but when I read it all the responses seemed to be about RTW. I figured I would start it up over here.

What are your favorite factions and why? Do you like playing the Spanish because of location? Are you someone who can't pull themselves away from the Turks because of the Janissary Units? Do you like making gobs of money as the Italians or the Byzantines?

All of us have pet factions and for different reasons, some martial, some economic, and some purely because of placement. I am beginning to recognise the different posters around here so I was just wondering who likes to play what.

I am partial to the English. I don't like the starting provs, namely Anjou, Aquitane and Normandy. I like the English for two reasons. Longbowmen and Billmen. Need I say more?
