Fav. Faction or units

[Gato The Great]

Well to start off I love playing as Denmark or norway and my favorite units is tied between Dismounted Housecarls and Odersher both of those are Invicible

[Feanaro]

I just started my first KGC campaign as the Teutons and I like the Ritterbruders. Super expensive but I can't say no to those horns.

As a bonus, my least favorite units: Dievas Guard. Hate those guys. I'm short on spears right now, so nothing stops them comfortably. They can hit a unit of infantry and kill half of them in ten seconds, they seem to reform and charge with much greater ease than my own cavalry and they just really mess people up. So satisfying to kill every last one of them though.

[Gato The Great]

I think they have ap javs. too

[Gato The Great]

Nice

[valvegas1]

The Teutonic Order without a doubt...because my family tree traces back to the early days of the order....Since finding that out i've only ever played with the Teutonic Order....though i highly protest the fact that the Ritterbruders (aka Knights Brother) where the best, they were the most feared but not the best fighters the order had...on that note my favorite unit is the Teutonic Knights (The best the order had to offer)....

[Shea O'Gorath]

Ireland because im from there

and Ulster Swordsmen because im from Ulster

[Olivierus]

I really enjoyed playing Roman (Byzantine) Empire so that will be my fav. one. For a unit, probably Varangian Guard and as I am big friend of the mercs, Free Companion Men-at-arms and Longbowmen.

[ErmanesTheSecond]

Yyeah, Varangian Guard(+my private modification of a small stat boost and the shield wall ability, which seems only proper for them to have) They can basically own any cavalry Charge like the history says they did, in Lord Norwich's Byzantine Empire Histories he states that when Alexius I faught the sicilian Normans his Varangian Guard Frightened the heck outta the Normon Cavalry as they were the only unit to stand firm in the face of an overwhelming cavalry charge. After i read this, and then proceeded to lose to a massive 2000 man mongol jihad army in Vanilla M2TW, my Varangian Guard units were throughly dissappointing, as the mongol lancers raped them, (and they were they best they could be in M2TW without moddifications, so all gold bars+ bronze defense shield and sword attributes). After that i saught every way possible to make them and the entire Byzantine Army into the greatest Army ever, and that i did, and thats how i got into modding/knowing how to mod the m2tw files at a basic level.
That battle was highly epic too, i was outnumbered 3 to 1 by two combined mongol jihad armies, yet i still managed to come out of the battle with more than half my troops(my emperor still alive), and taking a sizeable portion of the enemy with me. I realized though that Jihad armies are not like regular armies, an that they dont stop trying to take the objective, so i gave them Constantinople, had my Emperor Look good dying defending it, and then having his son, and a massive amount of armies(around 6 i think full stacks armies) led by, his son and heir, Ermanes Paleologus The Second, retake the city. Thats where i got my member name, my enthusiasm for modding and mods, and well, BYZANTINE EMPIRE FOREVER!!

[Henry of Grosmont]

It always will be England and any type of Longbows.

I defeat any two full stacks-plus of the Scotts with a small army comprised of a general, 3-4 Welsh Spearmen and 6-8 units of Longbowmen.

[valvegas1]

It always will be England and any type of Longbows.

Longbowmen are pretty awesome...especially the Retinue Longbowmen...

[Data78]

when i play as either on of the russia... early game-mid game favorite unit are the cossacks... beat the living junk out of the mongols with them... late game... i get out the berdiche axemen as my fav rus unit...
when i'm bored, filthy rich, owning half of the map in late late game... I get out the stack of 20 full upgraded Tzar Guards... LOL
they will literally rofl stomp pretty much any unit composition because there arn't any elephants

[Data78]

sorry if i butch the names...
but aside from that... my fav units...
portugese = Aventuros
Milan = Fagmilia ducale...
Venice = Venetian Heavy Infantry (super roman legionare shock trooopers)
Norway + Denmark = War Clerics (even though they get owned a lot i still like them)
HRE... = gothic knights
French = Lancers + Gedarmes
England = Armored Swordsmen + any longbowman...
Wales = Saethwyr (on defence) + Morganwigg Speamen (on offence)
Teutonic Order = order spearmen + rittenbrudders... I like the evil shaped cat helmets they make evil RWAR!!!
Turks = Janissaries + QQQQQ somthing calvary... (its the late game one that is a rofl stomper...)
Egypt = Tabadariyya Axemen in late game, early game I favor Mamluks...(not my most fav faction)
Sicily... I don't play them much/at all... not a big fan of the norman knights... even though the demolish armies...
Moors... late game... cammel gunners (good unit) REALLY EXPENSIVE
Templars + Hospitallers = their own respective knights + Marshalls...
Scotland... Noble/heavy pike malitas/men (though their factions really starts to fail in late late game -.- lack of good calvery... have to spam order knights)
Ireland... late game lord's Retinue...
Spain Conquistadors + Tercio pikemen
Hungary Battlefield Assassins (if i'm lucky enough to get an assassin's headquarters for a decent amount of them) aside from those my second choice for fav would be Royal Bandelium or Hussars...
Poland... Polish Knights... I tollerate nobles... (too horsy of a faction for me)
Lithuania... Glint's chosen or as i like to call them... the causers of OMG RUN AWAY dismounted lithuanian knights...
Mongols heavy lancers and heavy archer calvary... (will DESTROY armies..)
Byzantines... my arch nemesis... (fav faction is Venetians...) I like their greek flamethrowers, guard archers, and Varangian guard on the defensive, Verendotti cav (on offensive)

[Menulo]

novgorond atm wats not to like tbh

just in early game atm but they have decent horse archer, and the awesome boyar sons javalin cav. , main heavy infrantry and cavalry wields AP axes.

later in the game they get one of the best archers and horse archers in game, shock units with awesome looking axes and briljant heavy cav. with the dismounted boyar sons being realy good Heavy infratry.

only weakness is that your ranged infratry sucks ass in the start, so i compensate by taking more horse archers and nearly no normal archers.

plus the starting position is allot nicer then kiev rus, i dont like factions with lots of land right of the bank.

[Rosbjerg]

Gotta say either Egypt or Denmark.. I like having my back against the wall and Egypt's units are just very varied and fun to play with - Denmark however is a steel fist in a steel glove and that heavy infantry will just mow down anyone and anything.

[Kilij of the East]

First off, I wish to thank the creators of this mod for bringing all these factions together in one campaign.

Portugal+Spain = Spanish Dragoons
Milan = Genoise Crossbowmen
Venice = Venetian Heavy Archers and Infantry
Norway + Denmark = Norse War Clerics
HRE = Gothic Knights
French = Dismounted Noble Knights
England = Retinue Longbowmen
Wales = Saethwyr
Teutonic Order = Order Spearmen(I love Lithuania, and fighting these are soo annoying)
Turks = Janissary Musketeers
Egypt = Mamluk Archers
Sicily = Norman Knights
Moors = Camel Gunners
Templars + Hospitallers = Gunners, Crossbowmen, and Knights
Scotland = Noble Pikemen
Hungary = Battlefield Assassins
Poland = Lithuanian Archers
Lithuania = Followers of Perkunas and Giltine's Chosen
Byzantines(Favorite faction) = Vardiotai, Greek Fire, Guard Archers, Latinkon, Archontopoulai, Alamanoi, or Varangian Guard(Yes, I basically like every single one of their units, what can I say?)

[Lethe1]

Canons of the Holy Sepulcher, I just love them (looks as well)

[Aymer de Valence]

Yep, the canons demolish anything in a 1v1 battle. I've tested them in custom battles, and they can beat anything when fully upgraded

[Saxon Hale]

Spanish Dragons (gunpowder units that work properly)
Aventuros (Best pikemen in the game period.)
Conquistadores mounted & dismounted
Greek Fire (This guy's are just awesome!)
Retinue Longbowmen (do i really need to say anything about them? Look good and do their job like no one else)
Canons of the Holy Sepulcher (BOOM!)
Rittenbrudders (Because they just look to damn cool)

And more i don't remember the names...

[PrestigeX]

I enjoy the eastern and southern factions...

Poland - I love the Polish Shooters (stlretzky mounted crossbows), I like their look - from leather , to light mail, to brig -- their interesting shields, and Axes for hand to hand combat. They stay relevant all game long!


Russia - probably the Kazaks, cheap effective H.A. - I don't even bother with the other kind, I just stick with my frugal Kazaks having many all level'd up -- Also, they have wicked looking sabres in hand to hand (zoom in an see for yourself, they've got the best looking swords in the game!)

Sicily - Muslim Archers! - they look awesome after you upgrade their armor, like the default 'light mail' of muslim factions but in all black - plus, their fast rate of fire and general good quality makes them ideal fighting vs. Saracens -- even against europeans , a few units of Pavise Xbows and a few units muslim archers gives you punch with constant volleys / fire arrow

Egpyt -- Tie between, the standard Saracen Militia / ME Halberds (egypt having many cities, and large prosperous ones they can pump out endless volume of said troops) -- and ofcourse, the powerful "Mamluk Archers" --- I fight the mamluk archers are hands down, the best H.A. in the game apart from the Mongol's Heavy Archers... now, I realize that other factions have H.A. who are technically better in certain stats -- but Mamluk Archers have good stats 'all-round' , decent price/upkeep - and become widely available.. You can use them in Hand to Hand without much trouble at all
