Well, whatīs your favorite faction and why?
Well, whatīs your favorite faction and why?
Tough question my fav's come down to bias and unit selection although the overall characteristics of how a certain culture does battle draws me to try different factions.
Oman - mainly because I'm half English/ half Arabic and there is no other TW game where you can play with an authentic arabic army, all the others are Egypt and Mamluk based.
However I like a lot of the factions in this Mod and have played as Ghaznavids, Ghurids, Kypchaks, Kwarizem etc.
probably eastern romans for the music and cool units
I think you should make a poll for this.
Mine is,
Seljuks of Iraq; with my own custom units, soundtracks, unique family tree and some other tweaks...
Ayyubid Sultanate: unique units
i think we must make a poll about that question
I laik the Chuahans (elephant...GENERALS), and the Ghurids (their infantry is TANKED, and it says the Ghurids are descendants of Persia)
Yeah Ghurid Infantry is really good, cavalry is not the be all and end all in mountainous terrain like it is on flatter land so I guess that's why their infantry was better than most eastern factions.
I thought their leadership class was Turkic though not Persian, according to what I've read no one is actually certain historically what their core was.
Currently finding the Kypchaks very interesting. Iīve gone nearly 70 turns and not yet entered a war with any other faction....Just about united all the kypchak lands (wanted to wait a while before doing it) and the Mongols will be ariving soon. Have yet to play a faction and use so many horse archers, but I also have yet to play as either of the turks. The Byzantines havenīt attacked yet because they are at war with Armenia and Armenia controls the majority of Asia Minor, and Georgia is too occupied in a war against the Seljuk Turks of Iraq to worry about the pagans to the north. Waiting for the Mongols to arrive to ally with them....figured two pagan-khan oriented factions mobing through the map would be interesting, but I am wondering, are the mongols very hard to ally with-keep as an ally playing as the kipchaks?

KOJ - (In my opinion) not too biased on units, and has a good mix of almost everything, or at least has a good mix of units, they have EXCELLENT heavy infantry, and their cavalry? don't get me started on their cavalry.
and the title of this thread was...???
Kypchak
