Favorite faction?

Well, what´s 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...

Not enough for a submod, perhaps

I laik the Chuahans (elephant...GENERALS), and the Ghurids (their infantry is TANKED, and it says the Ghurids are descendants of Persia)

**Ansar Warrior** · March 25, 2012, 09:31 PM

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. I´ve 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 haven´t 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.
