Does anyone play anything else?!

[Emperor Aurelius]

Seriosly. I go to the forums and see the following: England, England, England, Scotland, Scotland, England,England, Scotland,

Sheesh anyone try Venice, Milan, Egypt, Moors?

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

Whenever I get it (either a few days or Christmas ) I'll start off with the Byzantines.

[Doug-Thompson]

Egypt, baby.

[Caesar_julii]

England. THose longbowmen just look so sweet and Engalnds awesome.After i beat the campaign as england i'd like to try the byzantines.

[Scipio Africano]

France long
HRE short

And I shall expand my horizons, probably Russia when I have unlocked the rest. All in good time

[Heinrich VI]

doing my duty for the kaiser!

the milans, venice, poles, danes, hungarians, sicilians all want a piece of me! france is neutral, with poor relations altough i gave them one of my princess!

the pope hated me and forced me on a crusade to antioch. made it my army is stuck there now fighting off the egyptian hordes and the turks are getting restless as well. byzantines canceld our alliance the only allie left are the russians!

i have basically no cash, cant upgrade the castles and are desperatly trying to hold the northern fronts while i wipe out the italian city states. currently stuck with mostly militas and peasant archers, a few seargents and mercs. every battle is tooth and nail fight. lose it and the whole front will collapse. burn the holy land to fill my coffers for the ever demanding bloodbath in europe. next turn could be a bad day for vienna, a huge hungarian stack full of feudal foot knights is laying siege to it. two enemy ex-crusader armys are on the italian peninsula and will surely take a look at my citys in northern italy. my only stack in the region just led a succesful crusade to palermo and crushed those sicilians once and for all!

i thought the unsucessful crusades would disband - oh well this will be interesting. i had already several situations (multiple enemy attacks on all fronts, deep in the red, failing a pope mission) where i was close to giving up thinking HRE is a bit hard for my first M2TW game. but so far its the most interesting and challenging TW game i had since MTW!

[Merlin's Apprentice]

I tried the Turks, bit ruff with the Byzantines attacking me right off the bat.
knock down drag em out fight, really got nasty when Egypt came up to have some fun as well.

[Sheogorath]

I play:
England
Russia
Scotland
Spain
The Turks
Venice
Just for now of course, once I finish one I'll switch to another.

Im also trying to figure out a way to make the Aztecs playble. Anybody have any ideas? Its been my dream since I heard that they were included in the game to invade Spain with them ;)

[Stolpmeister]

England? Bah, french wannabee-imperialists.

I completed the grand campaign as Spain, did Russia for a while... now trying my hand at Denmark. Oh yeah, I started off as Venice, but was forced to quit - being at war with Milan, the Holy Roman Empire, Byzantium AND Siciliy all at once was just too hard.

[Throumbaris]

Started as English now with Venice, boy are they different!

[Subedei]

I play HRE and it rocks. I -as a usual nomad style player- find myself loving`'em knights, Teutonic Order BAs, the huge fortresses etc....

Next, if unlocked by my nasty German rudeboys, I would love to play one of the more Eastern empires [Byz, Russia....] and by that unlock the Islamic factions....then it is Jihad time again & nothing but a bow, an arrow & a horsey...

[Daveybaby]

First campaign with england because (a) i'm english, (b) theyve got some cool units (c) theyre in a nice position to start learning the game, and (d) red and gold looks cool.

Once i'm done with my first game it'll be different - russians/turks/danes... etc
