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

[Anti-hero]

... couse its not logical that only Denmark is up there in the north. Its not like everything above Denmark was a frozen wasteland.

Amen, brother.

I would first play with the smallest and weakes faction I can find. I get more attached to such factions than I do to great powers. Then I would try something from East and Central Europe (if my first choice hadn't been there). Probably Poland or some Russian state. I'll definetly try out the Tartars as well...

That's right! Give me Norway to play with

[Antiochius]

That's right! Give me Norway to play with

If there will be a nation above Denmark than Sweden

[Cesare diBorja]

I want to play the French......or the Seljuk Turks. I want this game to be a real winner. I am quite excited!

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?

[Zalmoxis]

Think Romania's gonna be there?

[ByzantineKnight]

I wanna play the Byzantine Empire!!

[IrishArmenian]

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.

[Alien_Tortoise2345]

The Byzantines because I wanna see if I can turn back the Turkish tide.

[Tyranus]

Probably England, I cant wait to see all the knights and longbowen in the new game, the graphics look awesome, I cant wait untill it comes out, ill probably get it the first day it come out.

[Anthony Cecil Hogmanay Melchett]

France, I think.

It'll be a good test of the diplomacy/campaign AI, see how much of an improvment there's been. An early alliance between France and Scotland is going to be strategically crucial for the Scottish and a very good idea for the French, so if the AI can't keep that alliance it'll certainly be telling.

[Shark974]

Timurids
Venice
Ottomans
Byzantines
all the others

[The Wizard]

Mongols, Byzantines, Holy Roman Empire, Venice.

[Gorky]

Hungary

[Randarkmaan]

Egypt I think, going to succed where they failed ie. wrestling control of the sea back from those money-driven Italians, stop the Mongols before they cripple Islamic civilization and colonize the Americas(as a bonus).
Or... I will be the French and go crusading! Or I'll play as the Turks and conquer all of Europe.

[Alien_Tortoise2345]

If there will be a nation above Denmark than Sweden

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

[Alien_Tortoise2345]

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

[Sun Tzui]

it's got to be PORTUGAL!!!!

[Ituralde]

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
