I find horse meat too tough and chewy but it's better than eating the slain on the battlefield..... That's the raven's job
Interesting -- the Norwegians and the Welsh are the two top factions...
I'm surprised nobody voted for Alba. I would, only I can't vote.
I see Mercia gets no love either. I'll be (hopefully) wrapping up a 1.6 Mercia campaign -- hoping to make it my first VI2 win! I'd recommend Mercia to anyone who hasn't given them a shot yet. Your starting position seems trickier than Wessex's -- Mercia is surrounded by 3 or 4 kingdoms, all of whom want to pile on, and you're right in the middle of the map with no safe corners. Plus you start out at *negative* 2000 shillings. Infantry is typical Saxon, but there's some nice cav ... eventually. I'm finally building the first horse upgrade so I can make my marcher cav.
Haven't played in a while, but I'm re-installing at the moment and I remember from previous campaigns that the Welsh were the best.
And I will test this theory in a half-hour.

i like wales.... probably just because i live in wales though haha
voted for danes but mercia is uber fun! its super danguerous plaing h/h large
Mercians only faction that I don't get owned at, mind you I've only played them and Wessex ... And Ireland and Norway ( but they weren't fun.
> Men of Alba
Odd that nobody voted for Alba before. They have an interesting unit roster, and the dual threat of bloodthirsty, heathen Vikings and Anglian invaders --both with all in all superior infantry-- is really fun to play.
Enjoying the Danes a lot!
I LOVE the norwegians. I enjoy the fact that they are such an open-ended faction. Especially in one campaign, i decided to take over all of denmark immediately, and then i attacked southern england instead of scotland and ireland.
Norwegians is my favourite faction.
Going for Norwegians me too
