Gotta be merry olde Englande! I just love Longbows, and DEKs rock. Besides, it's nice to have to crush the frogs in each and every game!

The Byzantine empire, awesome position once you consolidate, and the most cool looking units in the game

, finally, it's a real challenge after the 1250's withouth gunpowder

Spain all the way. Besides for having a good starting position for both beating Muslims and getting to the New World, their gunpowder, ships, infantry, Pavise crossbowmen, calvary, skirmishers. They have a much better professional army than Portugal and France is easy to conquer after it gets involved with the HRE, Milan, and England.

Turks. Good starting position, good infantry and cavalry (JHI beats zweihanders 1 on 1) and you get to fight all of the Mongols and Timurids before anyone else ruins your fun

AND you don't have to listen to a psycho with a pointy hat in Rome

Oh and decent melee infantry that can also shoot long range missiles.

Can't vote but my two cents would be boring England. An island that gives a good start defensively supported by a strong fleet.

I'd have to say Turks. JHI in towns are brilliant if kept on the offensive.

The many forms of (any environment) horse archers. Wonderful for slimming the enemy before he reaches our house.

Playing as the commanding general of the "psycho with the pointy hat". Your own generals can freely have 0 piety and you command those burners to get rid of almost anyone anywhere in the world. Who needs assassins when you have these guys?
