Yeah Danes are big favorite with a lot of people, and I think it's pretty much because they get to decide who to fight and when to fight them. Personally, I can't get enough of the Turks, using my light horse archers and infantry to harrass the Byzantines and Eggies is great. Of course, once we get to late in the campaign the Turks have a really great modernization as their troops become the wonderfully professional Janissaries. A unique unit roster and challenging start position make them good fun to play.
