As in MTW, HRE of course. I'm a very defensive player which fits perfectly. You got hammered from all sides with your relatively weak troops and treacherous generals until late period when time had come for striking back. I liked it very much, hähähä. I'm keen to see wether it will be the same in M2TW. Maybe the old fanatic in Rome could be your friend.

Then, the Scots because I like the celtic course. I hope the irish and scottish warriors will look a bit more realistic than in MTW.

The Danes for recreation. Only one country to manage in a nice position with room for a skandinavian empire to conquer the british isles.
