Who will you play first? - with poll!

[AnthoniusII]

I haven’t even heard about this formation thing. Can you tell me some more information about it?
.

I mean the "wedge" formation...
We read on the Narses campaign in northen Italy at 6th century...
"Franks deployed their men in two wedge "bodies" as they always did...
Narses ordered his cavalry to dismount and reinforce his center and ordered his archers to deply in right and left of the Frankish asault line"!

We also read at the battle of Poittiers in 711 or 717(i do not remember the exact date) ad...
"The Arabs were over weighted from the spoils of previus raids.
Martelus(the hummer) deployed his men in wedge formation as it was the common habit of his soldiers and marched against the Arabs...that could not defend against the wall of shields and steel"!!!

[King Yngvar]

I do know him,but he didn't unify the whole of Norway,he just unified the south!

Which is all that is included on the map here anyway. Plus the north was his vassal

Saamer weren't vassals of Norway until they were annexed and 'Norwegianized'
in the 19th century by forcing them to marry Norwegians.

Definately Wessex for me see if I can expand my kingdom into the Norse homelands, and then one of the Norse Kingdoms to see how far my empire can reach.

Remember that the Frankish are from the east frankish empire (Regnum Francorum orientalium) , meaning the Germany part of the Frankish Empire, meaning the predecessor from the Holy Roman Empire .

Apart from the name and its political origins, not much in common with France.

[Malvenor]

Eh, I think I will try out one of the Viking Cultures first. I am going to look through them to find the one with the best position, and a color I like.

I will also play some Celtic cultures.

Probably won't play Frankish people, or Normans.
