-The English win most of the time vs the French(+- 2 times out of 3)
I believe this is the case especially in MTW 1.0 without the VI expansion installed. Last year I bought the Battle Pack but I played a long Byzantine campaign in 1.0 first (I didn't know that VI+the patch added so many really nice features ) and then the Almohads defeated the Spaniards and England ruled over France. I've never seen those two countries expanding after installing the expansion pack.
