Whats your favorite faction?

[Dr_Who_Regen#4]

Had to vote for a new Faction so I went with Venice...

[Darth Nihilus]

I guess I should add that people should vote for whatever reason they want, eg. it's thier home country or ancestry, they liked playing with that faction in the original, they like its untis, or they like studying the history of that particular faction. I do realize that no one has ever played with (for instance) milan before. And I do think that the BYZ will be the runaway favorite.

My 2cents.....

Byzantium wins, but only just. The Holy Roman Empire will be more interesting to play than in original Medieval with two Italian factions.

England, me being English, and the fact that they rule, Billmen and Longbowmen the ultimate combination, i think they will be my first campaign, but i have always had a little soft spot for the Byzantines

Byzantines, followed by the Danes. Although I also like the invasion armies (Mongols and Timurids), which are unfortunately unplayable.

I don't really like the currently big countries that much (England, France HRE, Spain are all a bit 'meh' in my eyes), but that's because I love the underdog and like to change history a bit ;).

[Ignoramus]

I actually like the Byzantines for the opposite reason. I enjoy "roleplaying" history, so factions like Scotland and Milan (although they are really interesting) aren't quite as enjoyable as Byzantium.

BYZANTINES!


And Almohads, but I would give a 1 up to the Eastern Romans for their interesting playing style and troop types.
I just hope MTW2 does the Byz more justice than MTW.
Like more unique units, and I think they should have a spearmen that specializes in something than their vanilla flavoured 1 in MTW.
It would be interesting to see how the Byzantine troops look like now and how will their appearance progress as the years go on into the 1500s, that would be nice.
