What faction will you play first in BC3?

[Jan III Sobieski]

As title says
I'll go play Alania first.

[EarendilElenthol]

I guess I'll start with good old Abbasids, to see how the other factions go and then pick a new one.

[Atabeg]

Atabegs of Azerbaijan, obiviously.

[Silesian_Noble]

And that is how it started

My first choice will probably be Alania. But it is too soon to tell, we still don't know rosters of the new factions, so this is kind a blind choice.

[Kavhan Isbul]

For me, it will be Volga Bulgaria, a faction that I have really wanted to play in a mod since M2TW came out.

[matmohair1]

me too
Volga Bulgars -

[Eisberg]

Atabegs of Azerbaijan will rush into WORLD DOMINAION, under my rule

[damnmap]

Probably ERE this mod has made me a fanboy of it

[Vaynakh]

Deffinitely the Alanians. All about the North Caucasian pride: Chechens, Ingush, Adyghe/Circassians brothers - gonna rewrite history the way it should've been haha.

[Atabeg]

Vaynax, are you a Chechen?

[Vaynakh]

Yes I am going to take a wild guess and assume your Azerbaijani?

[Atabeg]

Nice to know. Exactly.

[Jazz19]

Will will start as either the Romans or one of the Rajput factions, then perhaps the Zengids...

Just curious, is there a difference between the terms "Azerbaijani" and "Azeri"? Does the latter refer to the language etc?

theyre both the same

[The Noble Lord]

It would be Sultanate of Ghazni for me and Ethiopian Kingdom, we never had them in any M2TW/Kingdoms games or mods so far.

[Outlawstar15a2]

Probably one of the Hindu factions. Which is why I hope their rosters get expanded...

[Strattios]

The Romans, and do as I always do as them. Build excellent horse armies and conquer nations that were historically horse nations and beat them at their own game. Then take over all ports along the Mediterranean and Black Sea, get fat and rich from trade and create Rule the land with vast armies of foreign mercs that are expendable to fight their own peoples.

Actually there is. Azerbaijani can be anyone as citizen of Azerbaijan. No matter if your Turkic, Lezgin, Avar or Talysh...Azeri on the other hand are someone who belongs to the Western Oghuz Turkic ethnicity.

[nedensiz1]

First Turkish sultanate, than Azerbaijan and other Turkish factions.
I remember that I played with rebels in BC 2.0

[SoulBlade]

Volga Bulgars.
