Who will you play first? - with poll!

[helmersen]

Voted Jarldom of Vestfold!

[Heathen Hammer]

Vikings will be the first for me!
Then I'll probably start another viking campaign. Than another one..

[Imperator of Rome]

My choices are either Wessex or the Franks!

[Doctor]

I guess no one is up to the challenge of taking on East Anglia for their first run through.

[The Northern Marches]

haha, I think you'd have to be a little suicidal and brave to go for the East Anglians, especially on the first go around, unless you're playing on E/E and have some cheats laying beside you...

I might have them as my 4th or 5th campaign, but I would rather be suicidal on H/H then E/E and cheat (besides toggle_fow...). Anyways it would be nice to just defend your country and slowly expand instead of conquering everything in sight right at the beginning.

[Lele14]

First - Hordaland
second - Denmark
third - Vestfold
fourth - Normandy
fifth - i don't know

[Doctor]

fifth - i don't know

*Cough* Wessex *Cough*

[Lele14]

I was thinking about Wessex (especially because i would like to test the housecarls on the battlefield)...probably i will choose it for my fifth campaign then
(I'm sorry if my english isn't good i will improve it...)

[The Northern Marches]

I agree that the East Anglians would be a very different type of game. As much as aggressive expansion has its merits (and share of excitement), some of the best games I've enjoyed have been decidedly defensive-style campaigns. Once I played as the Venetians on VH/VH and though I didn't expand much, I had loads of fun defending my settlements from countless Milanese, Hungarian and Byzantine onslaughts with crowded parapets full of Venetian archers and Colonial Guards . I think the East Anglians might be a similar sort of experience

[jimmy spong]

normans , i wanna invade britain hehe

[tore]

well, I'll play Hordaland or Vestfold, then Hordaland or Vestfold. Later possibly one of the Irish factions, then all the rest.

I hope they do not end up like the Welsh in MTW: Kingdoms, in which I conquered half of the Kingdom of England simply by taking my beginning troops and some mercenaries and blitzed straight out of Wales. So I hope I can fight a defensive campaign quietly gainning territory and Armies.

[GatorMarine1833]

I think you will find it quite difficult to blitz with most factions

[Harðurāðaz]

1.Hörðaland
2.East Anglia
3.Alba

Sounds good I hated how the English just collapsed when you put the slightest bit of pressure on them.

[lev]

1.Connacht
2.Hordaland
3.Anglia

[Giovi]

Norman clans (late Duchy of Normandy)

[King Yngvar]

I'd play Vestfold, gotta unite Norway under Harald Fairhair so Hordaland is in for an early beat. By the way, has the Norwegian kings been demoted to jarls?

[k_raso]

There were no norwegian kings at the mod's starting date. Only petty kings and local ruling powers, represented by both jarldoms.

Afterwards (maybe in our next release), a cunning jarl could unite both jarldoms and declare himself king of Norway...
