    Probably England too, just to get the feel of everything as their position allows you time to learn the ropes, changes from Rome and some easy first battles and sieges, though I'll probably move onto being the two I most want to play, Spain and Venice ASAP.

    First faction is gonna be Sicily. Lots of space for expansion to the south, may try to meddle on the Iberian Peninsula as soon as the Moors take on Spain.

    Probably either HRE or France, not entirely decided. I might've played Scotland first, but I think I might keep them for a realism mod.

    First, probably English. Although if the temptation comes along to unlock the factions the Scots or the Byzantines may get a whirl instead.

    No question, HRE. I cannot resist the pull of my ancestry... and zweihanders make me go weak in the knees


    Second campaign will probably be the turks - I grew to love them in the original MTW

    Spain; because they have plent of expansion room without having to bother about the pope threatening excommunication. I may do a side campaign as the venetians or english.

    France without doubt.

    Then i'll go for Egyptians in order to test Jyhads.

    Sicily. I always enjoyed their unique starting position in M:TW, and their cavalry heavy, semi-arab unit roster is really endearing.

    Probably England first.

    You can quickly crush the Scots and Irish before the Pope can get in the middle to mediate. Then, w/ a secure base it's on to the Continent to crush the Danes, nibble at France and go on a Crusader Holiday or two.

    There was a thread started on this very subject a few months ago. In that one I said the Turks or Egyptians. But now I'm back to playing MTW1 and doing my first ever English Campaign. I'm having a lot of fun with the longbowmen; so I might give the English a go in my first campaign. I don't know. I'll probably have to flip a coin or roll a dice to decide.

    I'll definitely play Poland... hold the line against the Teutonic menace in the west, trounce the uppity Rus in the east, and build up for the coming of the Tatar hordes.
