which is your favorite medieval faction?

[Martok]

Nice selection, macsen, by the way what is PMTW? Pagan Medieval Total War?

Pike & Musket Total War. You'll find it the Hosted Mods section of the forum.

As someone else said, it's usually the faction I'm playing at the moment... I had a good campaign with the Aragonese last week, that was fun. But now I've just installed xl, so I'm going bananas with all the new factions. Can't make up my mind.

...caved in, and voted for the Hungaryans. Versatile unit roster, fun position.

[Excel]

Holy Roman Empire for sure

My favourite would have to be either a Scandanavian faction or England, but in truth it's what ever faction I haven't played in a while.

I always enjoyed Spanish campaigns. Nice hard beginning, what with the Moors and the Aragonese giving you headaches, and then a good, controlled base of operations. Expansion options in either France or North Africa. It's been a while, so I don't remember a lot about the troop types ...

yeah i kinda miss playin em, thsi on time i launched a 25,000 man(normal unit size) crusade that conquered the almohads, egyptiaans, turks, byzantines, novogorods, and the mongolians. I disbanded the crusade and conquered the papacy , poland, and hungary. Best invasion force Ive ever made.

Spanish troop types:

Jinnettes
Spanish Javlinmen
Jinnettes
Lancers
Jinnettes

Oh, and did I mention Jinnettes?

[Mailman653]

Only one vote for the Papal States.....must of been me
Not exactly the most fun game playing as them, too weak. Though for fun I edited some files and gave them huge starting armies, by the time the campaign was over, I had taken over about 93% of Europe, why send others on a Crusade when you can do it yourself!

[SCRIBE]

I found playing Spain to be quite...eh...
Very nice selection of cavalry like the Lancers and such, but they just get so played out. Jinettes are nice and the same with Almughavars.
The other Catholic factions I like are either the English or the Italians.
Other than that most Catholic armies are...eh...

But when you play as the Moors or the Byzantines, then we're talkin'!

[GoldenGod]

I'm having a lot of fun playing as the Brits. We're have the whole of Britain, most of France, northern and western Germany and Denmark under our well travelled sandle at turn 187.

The Bohemians, the Portuguese, and the Scots are all challenging while still being fun. (I actually have yet to win with the Bohemians, truth be told; but I still enjoy them! ) I like the Norwegians and Cumans as well. Just in case you were looking for recommendations.

[Taedius]

Thanks for the pointers.
I've started several campaigns, mostly with small factions, but the ones i've gotten into and continued so far is the Norwegians and the Teutonic Order.
Fun. :)

[Motep]

okay...ill get back to playing the game this week...you bullies made me miss it...

[Taedius]

As we should.

I've played vanilla MTW for some years; only got VI this spring. And that, my friend, speaks of of its replayability.
