Faction you are least interested in

[The Mongol]

So, they made a thread like this at the org and I thought I'd start one up. We've already had 500+ "What faction are you going to play?" threads and this is a nice spin on things.

Personally, I'm going with the English (I know I will be lynched)

They just seem a little generic to me and tons of people are already going to play them.

[Axe-Battler]

most looking forward to i would say....all of them.....but the one i would least looking forward to, is prolly the scots or normans, factions like that, they just seem underpowered,they will prolly have a lack of technology and stuff, if they dont then ill like them.

[Fondor_Yards]

Least, heh this hardest the most looked forward too... I'd say Hungary or Portugal.

[Vihuri]

France. I will propably never play a grand campaign with them.

[Clibby]

I'm actually looking forward to Portugal, its new and will have its own region to focus on; plus it won't be one of those faction that starts with everything. You never know how influencial they may end up being with the church as well. Anyway the factions I am not looking forward to are probobly Hungary and the Normans.

[Nutsack]

Least looking forward to? Well I'd say the Scots.

There are Normans!??! WHAT? The starting year is 1080 the Normans have now created the Kingdom of England... :hmmm:

If you mean the tutorial campaign, then i ask you, does that really count? It's just tutorial

Do the Normans in the tutorial campaign use a faction slot?

i dont know, i was only basing that cause i dont know the history of england well and i actually am not to sure who the normans were, i saw them in the tutorial so i figured they were a faction.

[Hafnium]

Probably France or Scotland.

[Axe-Battler]

the thing about the smaller factions that have less exotic or unique units is that like in mtw1 for example i would take a faction like russia and have them be able to produce armenians, feudals, chivalric men at arms, since their only distinct unit was the boyar..so if something like the scots are displayed as "braveheart" before i use them ill make sure they have a few extra units to use.

[Fondor_Yards]

Portugal just seems like it's going to be a Spain clone with a few different units and slightly different starting location.

[Fondor_Yards]

He probably means the Sicilian Norman Kingdom.

[Sylver]

Poland.

I'm totally blitzing that place with the HRE.

[xopium]

Danes or Milan. I don't hate any of the factions or think they're boring but..

... I'll probably just conquer everywhere with them. And I hate being ahistorical for some reason.

Although with the Danes at least I can retake England... does anyone know what the Danes win conditions are?

[maxiumus_pooh]

Poland.

Ha!! Laughed my hairy arse off.

Probably Portugal. I can't believe people don't want to play as Scotland. A travesty that they weren't available in original MTW.

indeed i want to play as the Scots after the English! I still haven't seen braveheart tho Yes i know i suck.

[gpolonia]

I think Portugal is a harder version of spain with one or two unique arabic-look-like units, very hard position before conquering the iberic peninsula, not so interested, but a good option. The scotts look boring, similar to the english, just wait for france and england to start the war, then ally with frence and get all great brittain. Sicilian look very hard to play and have many unique units, Milano is going to be similar to the holy roman empire, just less territiries and with the pope in their side, if history is followed, boring. Since I'm italian I look forward to play with Venezia, if it's included. Does anyone if in the Venezia region is possible to recruit the italian Goleade (they are war ships). And off course Poland and Hungary sound pretty boring too.

[westy159]

Nonsense! Comparing Scotland to England and saying they are similar is like comparing the Mongols to the Romans. I would say the English armies will be more civilied and organised.

[God-Emperor of Mankind]

I think all factions have a certain charm about them.
I would probably go with Egypt I think.
They were never really any fun in MTW1 so I will go with that.

[Henry of Grosmont]

Least favorite Poland (don't know, what unique unit they have, it looks not interesting, very sad), Egypt (yeah, they were boring), Hungary (same as Poland, that joke about, what? field assassins?).

[Hansa]

Scotland, with all em Braveheart units. Freedom? bollocks, more like Arse!
