    I have only played as Poland, France and Hungary. My favorite are the Hungarians. So many different options with them. And I like to play turtle

    France and Spain, I've never noticed any real weaknesses in their unit rosters. Plus they're really fun to conquer the New World with. England not too far behind either (I'm a huge archer fanboy)

    The Turks are also despicably strong, love to play as them.

    The Moors as from the start they have a nice strategic position, access to loads of cash when economically developed and have plenty of mobile armoured piercing troops to have fun with the europeans. That's even before gun powder...

    Tabardariyya are pretty good, and they have Saracen Militia and Halberd Militia, which are good at holding a line. And their excellent cavalry compensates anything their infantry lack.

    I only played vanilla with HRE so far, it was awesome (still playing, going for world domination). Next time I play I think I'll choose Danes or Moors.

    Indeed, Egypt is a faction for cavalry tactics, and their infantry is mainly suited for defending lines or hit-and-die tactics. But their cavalry is very capable and usually multi-purpose.

    By the way, take the Moors - they´re the most different from the Holy Roman Empire, and will make for a more interesting game in your particular case

    All the Christian factions are good because they have more balanced rosters than anyone else
    But as for my favorite it is probably the Hungarians. Color scheme is good. (I know many people disagree with this) But I like their position and I like invading Greece.

    My favourite is England. I like professional armies, and I like strong, heavy infantry. England is the only faction with both.

    In regular Med. 2 my favorite are The Turks. Horse archers are just simply awesome in battle. Kind of a spread out position on the map yes, but with a few jihads you can quickly consolidate your position and then if you knock out Egypt you have the Levant sea trade. Next favorite would be France, then the Moors, and then The Byzantine Empire. In Brittania: England. In Crusades: The Turks. In Teutonic: The Teutonic Order. In Americas: New Spain followed by the Aztecs.

    My favorite faction at this moment has to be the Moors. Grenadine Jinetes and Desert Cavalry are excellent at taking out Knights and armored units. Plus later on you get Christian Guards which are very powerful and Camel Gunners with long range . They also get a challenging position on the map.

    Byzantium, Turks, Poland


    Byzantium and Turks because of their interesting start position and different enemies they can face, much more varied then for example HRE or England, who usually fight with 'feudal christians' (Sicily with knights, Venice with crossbow militia, Hungary with dismounted knights, Egypt with desert units, mongols and Timmies with horse archers)
    Poland because their unit roster is quite unique among catholics, and they are the only ones who look a bit 'dirty and rugged' (I mean the unit skins). It is also fun to kick the butt of Russia and HRE, and then fight the mongols and timmies!


    I really have a hard time playing as HRE/France/Scotland, the accent the agents use really annoy me.

    I would have to Say the Byzantine (Roman) Empire and France. I enjoy the history of both and they both hold a certain amount of 'legitimacy' for massive expansion.


    Feel free to add me.

    Probably England due to their good archers and good late infantry.

    Oh sorry, didn't post why. Teutonic Order: I am 80% Prussian, so that helps, and their units are totally wicked. I never use that term, only when the subject deserves it. And HRE's zweihanders are so cool, and good. And Denmark's vikings. I love the Russian cavalry, and 5-10% Russian, the Boyar Sons and Dvor are awesome. England, I'm not trying to just randomly tell you what I am, but, I'm interested in what I am, so that usually influences what I like. 10% English and the Longbowmen are also cool, being a longbow archer, myself. And Scotland, I am fond of the Highlanders. Their face paint and kilts just gives Medieval 2 a wild unorganized feeling, yet their units are still good.
