no faction is weak in a good player's hand, scotland has her own strength and weakness. They have some excellent early infantry which will plow through all the spear militia/sergeant spearmen the AI throw at you early in game. A mediocre archer unit and the same knight all the other catholic gets at the beginning. If you play right u can build a stable economy base and conquer the rest of the world. With that being said scotland really dont have much good "elite" units later on. no offensive infantry, no "uber" cavalry, no HA, no long range missile troop or advance gunpowder units. Their best unit, the noble pikemen is only good at holding the other unit in place, and they tent to act more like swordsment than pikemen, a good calvary commander can easily flank them due to the fact most nations has better calvary than scotland; not to mention 2H offensive infantry just mow through the nobles with the 2H bug fix applied.
