Who should I be next?

[Navajo Joe]

I am going to finish a 6.1 Grand Campaign as Norway tonight and I am looking for a recommendation to who to play next. I am going to install 6.2, so who do you think would be a exciting faction to play(exclude Catholic Factions).

1. Mongols
2. Orthodox, Byzantine, Kievan Rus or Novgorod?
3. Islamic, Moors, Kwarzmezians?
4. Pagan, Lithuania, Cumans

[Gnostiko]

Depends on your definition of 'exciting'. I was going to recommend the Romans (byzantine) right off the bat, but until the campaign AI is fixed you're looking at a similar experience to HRE (i.e. non-stop attacks). I'd suggest Mongols, because they're ridiculously fun (more so with the Pagan Mongols mod), if not, the Turks are another good idea. If you do go the way of the Turks I recommend you pop by the RR/RC thread, two of their cities, by default, have no garrisons, and CC has fixed that.

Kwarezmians & Cumans are in the way of the Mongols, so as Gracul has beefed up the Mongols I imagine these factions would be exciting to play.

Try cumans if you want exciting(and don't try having peace with mongols)

[Gogolometro]

Try Moors, why not?Can you imagine a stack of camel gunners raiding France?
