I am personly enjoying 5.1 with Sicily a lot but I havent played it with the other factions yet.

Sicily has good archers in the Moorish Archers, long range and decently armored. They have been very usefull in many sieges and are available from castles so its not too hard to get them.

They also have good infantry with Sword and Buckler men from castles, and later Norman Knights from fortresses. And Broken Lances at Citadels which are very well armored, few factions can field such well armored infantry.

I suppose the english have the best foot archers, but I personly just dont like their infantry units. Armored swordsmen are nothing different from imperial knights. Sicily's infantry seems better.

I am playing as byzantium, trying to re-create the old roman Empire. The Trebizond Archers and Byzantine Guard archers are doing good work, While the waräger Guard and Pronomia INfantry is awesome. As soon as you get a citadel and you can build the guard pikesman you will be just THE military Power in the world

I think either England or Byzantium is a good choice.
