If you could add just one more faction it would be...

[Pindar]

Make your choice.

[King Ragnar]

Gota be the Teutonics Knights, wouldnt have minded wales either but they arent on :(

[Barbarossa82]

Serbia. They were an important kingdom at the time I believe and important to challenge whoever wins out of the Turks and Byzantines.

[A. Smith]

Burgundy. there were a pain in the butt of france and a precious ally for the british, and, as weve seen on the campaign map screenshots, there are numerous rebel factions in france that could have been considered burgundian.

[CountArach]

Serbia.... because Serbs are awesome (No I am not Serb)...

[Leet Eriksson]

There is no "Other" option :| but anyways.

I'd like a pagan faction like the Prussians.

Or maybe Lithuanians.

[BaldwinIV]

Bulgaria rulz!
I want playable Bulgaria with only one province. It will be a great challenge.

[Underdog687]

Bulgaria rulz!
I want playable Bulgaria with only one province. It will be a great challenge.

Bulgaria would be fun to play with, ally with the British and ....

[Silver Rusher]

I think I would say the Flemish. Unique faction, trading capital of the North, very important in crusades (Latin Emperors were Flemish for example) and owned some very important cities.

Bulgaria and Serbia would be nice but only one out of those two would be necessary.

Same applies to Georgia and Cilicia/Lower Armenia.

And Lithuania and Cumans.

Kiev would also have been good.

Burgundy only really existed much later than the campaign's start, but they would work well as an emerging faction.

[Orb]

Armenia as a fun campaign in itself, Serbia/Bulgaria for overall gameplay or Makuria for flavour and pressure on an Egyptian superpower.

[Orda Khan]

Too much emphasis on Europe......and sedentary factions in general. We have never had the opportunity to campaign as any nomadic force in the Mediaeval offerings so far. The Qipchaqs/Cumans should have made the list to provide this opportunity

......Orda

[DukeofSerbia]

Bulgaria and Serbia would be nice but only one out of those two would be necessary.

When MII TW starts Bulgaria was under Romanoi rule and Serbs had state - Zeta. So, Serbia.

[The Wizard]

Bulgar Emirate, or failing that Kiev considering Novgorod was never a real regional Russian power (preferring to limit itself to its Baltic/White Sea demesnes), and for some added flavor in that fine mix of nomadic, sedentary and Viking power.

[Stig]

If I would add anything I would increase the new world.
Maybe add North America with the Natives that live there.

But then if I could I would make an entire option to travel to the new world. (new map, but still a bit the same campaign, you're ale to travel to the new world and back to the old world), take in mind that by the time you can travel to the new world you will have loads of Europe.
You can then take loads of America: entire Caribean, Mexico and a big part of North America. But this might be better for an expansion, then adding this in this game, things might get too big.

[SpencerH]

The Sidhe.

[Mount Suribachi]

None of the above. I would go for Genoa.

If I had to choose one from the list, I would go for Burgundy to add a little extra spice the French-English thing.

[Kagemusha]

Kiev

[magnum]

I voted for the Cumans, but it isn't a clear cut choice for me. Basically I'd like to see any of several Eastern empires represented simply to give more factions in that region.

Tuetonic Knights were tempting (as Crusader States would have been if in the poll), but unless CA intends to do Era's or significantly increase the number of factions capable of coming into existance during play, I didn't see any reason to add another one.

[Tamur]

Tough to fit all the options into a poll like this.

Although the Danes are without a doubt an essential faction, there was much more going on in the Baltic and surrounding country during this period than that.

The Svear and Götar would be perfect to include at game start, the Fairhair dynasty in Norway, the Finns, Tavastians, Karelians & Sami in Finland. And that's just around 1100, lots more moving forward in time to explore.

It would be great fun to see a Baltic/Scandinavian mod.

[Bartix]

Lithuania, but I choose Cumans from those on list.

[Apoc]

Teutonic Knights, since Norway wasn't on it.

Yes, I am that selfish...

[ColdPrecision]

BULGARIA FTW!
Yeah, I'm of Bulgarian Descent, plus they played a role no smaller than the Serbs in Medieval times. Hell, Byzantium at one point was paying tribute to the Khan.

[Redtemplar]

Serbia. It would be interesting to see such unknown faction.

Omg! Teutonic order (or I would say teutonic disorder and chaos makers) third position. These liers and thieves should be prohibited. I would faster erase them from Med II than add to this game :).

[Aracnid]

I didn't realise they didn't put Aragonin until I saw it on the list, I can't believe they took it out. No offense but what were they thinking, Aragon was a major player in Medieval Europe and vital in the reconquest. I do hope someone does a mod and puts them in.

Of all the nations that weren't in orginally I would like to have Burgundy, because they were a key English ally and had a quite a bit of potential.

[antiwup]

Teutonics Knights arent really a faction but field level military with an organization to boot. i would like some baghdad caliphate so i can crush baghdad and take it over.

[Vladimir]

Armenia because it was so fun to play in XL.

[IrishArmenian]

Armenia because it was so fun to play in XL.

What is this XL?

[Mount Suribachi]

Its a mod for MTW - not as big or as game-changing as BKBs Super-mod, or Wes W's MedMod, it adds a load more factions, a bit more historicicity and makes the game a bit harder.

[ciprianrusu]

Serbia. They were an important faction in those days. And they could have had some special knights from the Order of the Dragon which was created by a serbian knight named Miloš Obilic;. (Vlad Dracul was a member of that order that was very feared by the turks)

[cioma]

I'd like to see the Grand Duchy of Litva, Rus', and Samogitia - one of the most powerful states in the Medieval Eastern Europe. I'm surprised developers didn't include it from the very beginning, because it's the same if they "forgot" to include France :)


The "Historical battles" part could include the following:

- The Battle of Grunwald (July 15, 1410) - Belarusian-Polish army against Teutonic Order army. This is one of the biggest battles of Medieval Europe. Teutonic Order was utterly beaten and dissapeared from the political and economical scene as a serious player.

- The Battle of Vorsha (September 8, 1514) - Belarusian army and Poles (30,000 soldiers) against Russian invaders (80,000 soldiers). Using military talent Belarusians totally destroyed russian army.

P.S. I wrote nation names as they are known in present, because in medieval times different nations had differrent names (e.g medieval name "Litva" denotes todays Belarusians, not Lithuanians).
