I would say either Georgia or the Abba's. I can make pros and cons for either one, but the general feeling I have right now is that area would do better with a faction on either side.
My only worry though is will either one actually do anything in the game, or just be swallowed up by the Mongol horde?
I see the better and approve; I follow the worse.
If you liked my post or thought I was helpful, hit that +rep and leave your name so I can keep an eye out for when you deserve some. Unless you suck. Then you aren't getting crap. Ever.
I listed Abassids alot lower in the 1220 poll than the 1100 poll because their reign comes to an end within 50 years of the start date. That is a problem with all the eastern factions in 1220 though. For myself I would be fine with having Abassids, Cumans, and Georgia as the easternmost factions in 1220- let the Mongols invade rebel territories for a few turns as Khwarezmians were practically destroyed on and the run since 1221. If we made it a 1230 start they would be totally gone.
In the late Era Mongols are the big players in the east. I would list Burgundy as the #1 addition in late era myself then Bulgaria.
Early era Georgia followed by Rum or Abassids make the most sense with Serbia somewhere up there as well.

I'd rather have a 1260 start date. If you did that, you could have the Il-Khanate in Persia and the Golden Horde in Russia. Would still free up some slots as well.

If you do not, you will see what God has willed." -Hülegü, the "Destroyer of Baghdad"
I prefer a 1250 campaign or even 1270 because it does not make sense to start at 1100 and then only 1220 which is not even using most of the rosters which are using unit slots. 1130 1270 and 1390 or 1450 would be my choices.

Chose Second Bulgarian Empire, but would probably prefer Armenian Cilicia.
I would also like a start at about 1270, Golden Horden in Russia, Ilkhanate added, Byzantine Empire unified again, Sweden could be addded and Cilician Armenia, Kievan Rus removed, Cumans removed, Georgia and Wales added, Khwarezmians and Seljuks removed.
Ahh Sweden... I shall corner the meatball market and all will pay tribute to me!!!
Balkans need more love, I know that the Romanian principalities weren't so important at around 1200 so I'll say Bulgaria or Serbia, can't decide![]()
Înfrânt nu eşti atunci când sângeri,

Adevăratele înfrângeri,

I chose Sweden.
One Orthodox faction and one Muslim faction, so we can wipe out the Catholic scum once and for all with our combined efforts![]()
I chose Burgundy, any ME faction or even Georgia will probably be destroyed by the Mongols very early..
Burgundy all time. They played a major role with significant impact.
Kill Them All, Let God Sort Them Out!
if you want to play sweden why not BftB...?? I choose Burgundy
