Favorite Faction?

[Medkirtys]

I would give almost anything to get the Swiss in SS6.3 I need them so badly for my mod, hah.
I love Battle for the Baltic, and I can not wait to use those two latest skins for the Ritters when I play it again, especially that new Gothic upgrade. That must look amazing in battle.

Swiss actually means Switzerland, so i think you made a mistake. And my favourite is ofcourse Grand Duchy Of Lithunia!

Well Sayd ! mine too



atrodo vien tik lietuviai votina uz LDK....
tatat

[Gogolometro]

Byzantine Empire!

[Asterix]

once battle for the baltic comes out for 6.3, i'll probably make some sort of poll for that.
and ToD-hmmm, Switzerland as a faction could be quite interesting. but it seems that they would fit more in a late era campaign, from what little (very little) i know of Swiss history.

I see there are at least three fellow Norwegians here (or possibly swedes doing the best of a bad situation) but I voted myself for Lithuania. Pretty awesome units. If Norway had better archers I would go for them. Great starting location and history.

1. Novgorod
2. Poland
3. Hungary

Fighting Lithuania is a lot of fun. Usually right around the time I wipe them out the Tuetonic Order appears and kicks my ass for a while. As Novgorod you are pretty much fighting a war on two fronts with Lithuania and Cuman Khanate right away. As Poland you have to watch out for the HRE and Denmark. As Hungary you have to watch out for the HRE and the Romans. As Hungary or Poland you have two fairly easily accessible Crusade targets in Lithuania and the middle east.

Meneth,

Sadly I am not a Norwegian, but I do spend two weeks a year in the company of many of your countrymen and Swedes.

My favourite SS factions are Norway, Sweden & Denmark, I adore heavy infantry and these factions suit my love.

[Rokiniz]

ofc the best choice is Grand Duchy Of Lithuania.

but i like to play france as well, dont know why but the starting poz is good and lots of space to expand

[The Black Goldfish]

Oh, that's a tough decision!

I went with Kievan Rus. I just like their roster and their awesome textures.
Secondly, I would go For the Byzan...EASTERN Roman Empire (Thank you!). Also, I like their roster (Although it lacks good archers :/) and position between east and west.
Third option, would be the Moors. I HATE Catholic Spain

Live here for 7 years and you can become one

[Tears of Destiny]

1. Roman Empire
2. Teutonic Order
3. Crusader States
4. Republic of Novgorod
5. Kwarezmian Empire

Hard choice for my favorite faction.

[Asterix]

can someone explain to me the popularity of Norway? they don't seem like much.

[Meneth]

1) There's about half a dozen Norwegians on the SS boards
2) Vikings are awesome
3) They have some of the best infantry in the game
4) Their position on the map is great

bah...vikings.... sure, they have axes, but the Spanish have spears!!!...oh... wait...
*looks at memorized SS map stored in brain* ah yes, their position on the map is quite good. i may try them later, but i think i'm tired of Catholics for now.

i don't know if its the best army, but certainly a highly capable one. they do have it all, and have you noticed that jinetes seem to be the only thing that can take down bodyguards quickly at a distance? 2 units of them versus a moorish bodyguard is no contest.
