What's your favorite nation of Thera?

[The Holy Pilgrim]

Hello, I was wondering what nations you guys like to play as in V3. I'd like to know where your alligiance lies within this beutiful yet deadly world, and why you love them so much.

Mine is Avalon. They have a great starting position, plenty of money, and they also have some of the best archer units in the game. They even outclass some of the elite musket weilding goons of the Faustian Reich. Also, the island they start on is vey easy to defend. If you have a strong navy, noone can take it from you!

I voted Romuli Hooray for Romans with guns and awesome!

[darkstanley]

My favorite faction is the Faustian Reich. Soooooo many riflemen, and I get to put wooden stakes infront of them and grenadiers behind them! It's real fun kicking the remains of the otto-anchluss into the dirt. It seems my generals have a problem marrying foreign princes and running away though. Nine loyalty points still didn't save my general from those damn hispanics........ Then I had to gun him down

[Nerva]

Sycorax they are fast, strong and deadly, a great combination of gunpowder and mobility, also with some great damage dealing light infantry. And the best of it is its difficult starting position with hostile neighboors.

Still you didn't vote for them?

Anyway, Faustian too. There's nothing like a fantasy German Steampunk-Empire full of weird & exaggerated Noble Houses. Warhammer Fantasy anyone?
The duchy of Dracule could have made for an awesome Chaos-Faction, but maybe that would have been to much of a similarity

[darkstanley]

It wouldn't let me vote at all but if I could I would have voted for them for sure.

I shall add on to their vote total for you darkstanley, you cant vote until you make 50 posts..


::edit, tis done

similar request, save for i would vote for the Romuli if I were able. The invincible legions of Rome finally get their chance to prove their superiority to shoddy medieval knights.

[Templar Knight]

well of course i voted for my beloved Teutonic Order

Hmm, let me think about this...it's - and that might surprise you - ... the Lao Che!!

[Ozzmosis]

For me the uruks are the most unique and interesting, not to mention PWNING faction in Thera. MAHISHA FTW!!!

so glad the AI never manages to train those guys...

[Highi]

For me it's the Faustians. Long pointy sticks to keep the enemy away are great! And they just wanna make me play them more, so I can finally train those awesome rifles!

edit: League of Privateers still at 0? Pink Beard probably didn't see this thread, I guess...

my heart lies with the faustian reich.

i like it´s starting position,they have many beautiful gunpowder troops(gunpowder junkie here),i can use many strategies to defeat my foes and they are ze empire and the kaiser is awesome.

[Beggar]

Sycorax, Faustian Reich, both are great. I must say the balance in the mod is quite good, it's hard to name a favourite faction.

[midterm360]

Sure it is! Romuli!

[Torvus]

Romuli forever!

[Humakty]

I voted for the RoBoChe. Why ? Le'me explain :

Lame startpos, spread over two continents.
Only christian neighbours, so to wage wars you'll hav to **** hard the pope or get excom.
No archery to speak of.
Sub-par infantry. Well late units are good enougth to hold a line, at least.
Lots of cavalry, but nothing too extraordinary here either, but as it's the only correct units you have, you'll field loads of them.

All of this makes for an interesting game !

What I recommend is at least 8 cav units per satck, I went up to 16 in one stack, 'twas cool to use !

Bear in mind it is only my actual favorite faction, it will have changed in a week, most probably !

You mean the Lao Che?, But they aren't christian
