-Fighting wars on multiple fronts at once,
and they get Swabian Swordsmen in early! talk about an unfair advantage.
I like multiple front wars, it makes it exciting.

my favourite faction is Aragon.
only kidding.
I hate Aragon. They've just re-emerged in my current Sicilian game with 6,000 troops and painted it all pink.

I'm currently going through a 'desert' phase and would thus choose the Egyptians right now; money (sooo much money, I use it to line my palace walls with), great cavalry, hordes of archers and the occasional boatload of tinfoil wrapped cretins to slaughter and enslave.
