    Where do you get that information from? Do you know something about the remaining 9 factions we heard about or are you just making assumptions based on nothing?

    I want to play as Russia first, as they are the mix of Eastern and Western Tactics and the are the closest to Armenia (or the Byzantines, but they are more greek). Then will play Scotland because I wanted to play as Eire, but they are not in game.

    I disagree because Denmark at the time controlled Sweden, Norway and Finland as part of the Kalmar Union.

    Oh sorry actually I have researched more and this actually did not happen until 1397 (lasted until 1521). Sorry! Yes maybe include them.

    I'm really looking forward to playing the Venetians. First off, because I really like Venice, as a city, and also the Venetian Republic and their history in general. In the game it's also the challenge of having a small kingdom, which does not have many avenues of expansion, being surrounded by Milan, Papacy, Hungary, HRE, Sicily, Byzantium. You have to be really careful and build up your economy with great care. Merchants fit perfectly into their style of play and I'm really looking forward to try to dominate the world financially instead of militarily.
    It also gives me the opportunity to rectify some of the faults the Serenissima made, concentrating immedieatelly on the New World and not allowing some Spanish or Portugese to claim naval supremacy over my Venetian navies.

    Cheers!

    If MTR: AOA (starting date 1054) is up and running next year

    1) Duchy of Normandy - Turn William the Bastard into King William the royal b...I mean Conqueror.

    2) Normans of Sicily - Turn Robert Guiscard from an adventurer to a Duke and fight the Holy Roman Empire and Byzantine EMpire as well as Muslim Emirate in Sicily.

    3) Byzantine Empire, empire stretching from Italy to Armenia but with a weak weak army, practically defenseless...

    4) Venice, build a nice chain of port enclaves and start trading baby!!

    5) Turkish Sultanate, unite the Muslim World under the Seljuk banner

    6) Danes, regardless of Christianity, start raiding and pillaging neighbours indiscriminately
    Retired from games altogether!!
