Favorite Ally

Have to agree with you Budwise, in every campaign I ally with the HRE, they have even helped me on certain occaisions - in battles.

And yes, they usually just spontaniously decide to stop the alliance .... which is to bad since I would have let them live. if they kept my eastern border clean

..

As for the french.... I never ally with them, they're usually my first target conquest-wise, especially when playing a Western faction

I love to ally with the Turks or Byzantines, especially if I am all the way across the map. In VI it is the Welsh I always ally with, so much fun to help them kick the mercians out of their regions.

Somehow I like allying with the Poles, dunno but they're some of the most reliable allies one can get.

Meh. Allies for me are just things I use for foreign princesses. I feel no compulsion to make allies of my own, but if they offer I won't refuse.

So I don't have a favourite ally, they are just people to be invaded at a later date.

the polish really good when youre the HRE and trying to take Hungary

As the Polish it is the HRE, but sooner or later they always seem to get wiped out. I don't like the Hungarians, they always attack me at the worst possible time.

I almost always play HRE and the Hungarians are a pest

- they
either sneak attack or keep building up and threatening Austria/Venice.
Poland is a good partner for me in most games and I will not even mention
those treacherous Byzantines
