Not sure what faction to play as

I think the main catch for the Hungarians is the salmon pink faction color!

Their units are nice, though, and Pavise Spearmen are a step above the regular Armoured Spearmen.

Hey, Salmon pink is better than the Sicilian... leg hair... things...

**Cheetah** · 12-24-2007, 06:25

It is salmon red!

Actually the (salmon) red/green combo looks quite cool.

You're kidding yourself Cheetah, it's pink.

I do really like their unit roster. It seems balanced to deal with anything. Best spearmen in the game, great horsearchers, and better heavy infantry than the other horsearcher heavy factions.

Knights of the Pink Table, Chaaargeee!!!
I.. I just cant cope with that pink. It's way too pink. See my great PINK army besieging Constantinople? Here's my PINK army fighting the great Golden Horde... I admit the colour plays a huge role when I'm choosing a faction. But no army should be PINK!
Hungarian unit roster is great and their position is very good, too. Constantinople, the Holy Lands, Black Sea trade etc. Had to take Russia because of the colours and now I'm going to grab Hungarians' lands. Bwahaha.

Who has pinky in his sig?

It is salmon red!!!

MTW was pinkish indeed but now it is not ... much less .... alright you win, it is pink:

Pink it´s my new obsession
Pink it´s not even a question
Pink on the lips of your lover, ´cause
Pink is the love you discover
Pink as the bing on your cherry
Pink ´cause you are so very
Pink it´s the color of passion
`Cause today it just goes with the fashion

I wanted to play as one of the Muslim factions first (Turks or Egyptians) but none of them are unlocked. I tried editing the desc_strat file but it wouldn't work, it says "file already exists" or "please choose a valid file".

Just play England or France on short... It is easy to knock out one or two factions and get a few provinces

I've already done England to death, it's the only faction I've actually conquered the world with. (or came very close. Maybe 5-6 provinces left). And I can't stand the French accent! No offense to the French, but the overdone French accent in the game drives me nuts.

I get what you're saying, I was always a white/silver color guy. Carthage/Selucids and then Sicily. Something attracts me to turning the entire world white.

Hmm that's odd. I'm no good at that stuff, but I recommend going with the Egyptians once you unlock them. I got whooped my first time as Turkey. Emperor Alexis of Byzantines beat me up pretty bad after I tried grabbing Constantinople. That's what you get when your faction starts next to the most powerful general in the world!

Hopefully as Hungary I won't do as bad.
