Love and hate

[Fexas]

Which faction you love to play and which you hate and why?

I love to play with Scotland and England (even in mods) because of their North style..unique style and good units and i hate to play with muslim factions because i don't like fighting in the desserts...

Muslim factions start of with most of the desert provinces, so unless you're on the defence all the time (a bad tactic to play) you'll be fighting in Europe.

Love to play as Denmark, Venice, France, Russia, Poland, the only faction I really don't like, apart from the Mongols and Timurids of course, is the Holy Roman Empire. Good thing I love all surrounding factions so I can destroy them.

[Highlander of Scotland]

i love most european factions. I don't like russia's starting position seeing as the regions are underdeveloped. I hate the moors though. Their roster is not very balanced and the game description lies IMO.

I like England, France, Denmark, Russia, and HRE. In vanilla, non-Kingdoms. In Kingdoms, Teutonic Order, Novgorod, Principality of Jerusalem, Norway.

[thesmorganator]

Really any faction besides Turkey and Egypt.

[Krάtos]

Holy Roman Empire, England & France. Most hated Milan (Backstabbers) & Hungary (ugly Faction colour).

[Aymer de Valence]

I actually really like playing as the Italian factions (except Milan, I HATE them); their militia units are sweet! There aren't really any factions I dislike playing as (I find Russia a really good challenge versus the Mongols - horse archers battles on the steppes FTW!), but I'll probably just choose France lol

[Dude with the Food]

The only factions I hate/can't play with because they annoy me so much are Turks and Byzantines. I don't like Moors, HRE, France, Russia as much but the Italian factions are amazing. England, Milan and Hungary are the best IMO.

Probably enjoy playing as England the most. I love taking over the islands first, making sure to secure Caen and Rennes on the mainland at the same time. From there it's all down to using the island cities to generate wealth while using Rennes and Caen as castles-->fortressses with stronger units than what the AI has managed to reach in France. I find the French fall quite easily once you take out Paris. Holy Romans can be a bit of an issue if they manage to take either Brugges or Antwerp. Most of the time they get slaughtered any time they try to take either, and weaken the AI rebel forces there, allowing me to swoop in and do a clean up job to easily take both.
