yeah, i like the Danes too, cos no one bothers you until you want to bother them, and you can field enormous raiding fleets full of Vikings...in my current Danish game i own the entire map north of France from Ireland to Muscovy and no one else has any ships left afloat!

also like the Spanish...hard as nails, Lancers, Jinetes, handy non-Christian faction to bash right from the start, awesome.

and the English...longbows + billmen = battlefields repeatedly littered with French corpses.
