What faction are you most looking forward to play as in Campaign?

[TinCow]

England and HRE.

[pyradyn]

The first Riech of course. Get the pope to like me then turn on him with Milan support if not Veince too. Then rig elections. Then i will play as the Russians. A nice populated Steppe will be kool. Attacking into Poland and moving down into Asia Minor. The Boyars will rise agian

[Basileus]

I mostly played France and Byzantium in MTW i´ll propably do the same with MTW2, it was always fun with the muslim factions though and as usual any faction that needs to be unlocked i played :D

[Reenk Roink]

Italian factions, Byzantines, and factions in Spain (both christian and muslim).

[Perplexed]

As I always did in MTW, I'll probably play as the underdog (Scotland, Denmark, Milan, Portugal, etc.). Fun stuff.

[Salazar]

I absolutely prefer 1 prov civs, they are more challenging AND: i always want everything in my empire to be ordered and organized, which is much easier if you build your empire from ground up.
So probably, Portugal, denmark. Though i'll definitely try Turks (they've got the coolest units and the most balanced military by far imho. At least in mtw 1) and hre (i come from there, so i think i should have played them once at least.

[NodachiSam]

Byzantine, Danes, HRE... but I'll try most if not all.

[Martok]

What a cruel question to ask! There's so many, I can't possibly pick just one! So here's a list instead (and in no particular order):

Scots
English
French
Egyptians
Timurids
Byzantines
HRE
Danes
Castille-Leon (I refuse to refer to them as the "Spanish"; ugh)

[sapi]

Mainly the Byzantines and the Italians

[Trajanus]

Do we have a full faction list yet?

I will try England first and then move onto something more exotic like the Egyptians I think.

[x-dANGEr]

Moors, invade Spain reaching western Europe.

[VikingHorde]

The Danes and Byzantines, my fav. factions

[zakalwe]

''Not 100% sure why they included Scotland though, seems a little pointless them having 1 prov on an island next to hostile England.''

Mind you we don't know how many provinces they will have.

I'd prefer they started with 2 or 3

Central/North East Scotland - the heart of Alba
The south-west - Strathclyde/Cumbria
The south-east - Borders/ Lothian

Also, a strong rebel province of the Sudreyjar, Caithness/Sutherland and Orkney to represent the Norse presence

First play as Byzantine, to smooth the transition from RTW to M2TW. Then as Portugal.

[Subedei]

Hungary, Byzantium, The Turks, Egypt (if Mamluks), The Mongols, The Tumurids...

Gues who loves cav units?!?!
