help me with my starting faction?

[awisler]

im really having a tough time with this, england or sicily? both seem to be very fun. i feel that as england it will be hard to do a lot of crusading due to france and scotland causing some problems, but as sicily i feel as if i would be restricted to north africa/spain. i know sicily isnt a start faction but i have no problem with unlocking factions in the txt. i think norman knights would be cool, but longbowmen would also be awesome. such a hard descision, any suggestions?

[vantonni]

why not be venice. its in your signature.

:hmmm:

[Miraj]

Sicily!

Sicily!

ahh venice is what i wanted to play first, but i want to play 2 campaigns and get some experience for the weaker land infantry of the venetians.

I'd choose Sicily. Sicily places you right in the middle of the map, ready to deploy your troops in any direction.

Just my thought though,

id rather start with england.
I think they have the best position on the map. Scotland shouldnt be hard to defeat. Once you are doubt with them, all you have is france in your way. So just start launching crusades and slowly start getting into europe through frances land.

Siciliy is definitely the first Catholic faction I'll play (maybe Spain too). Playing Siciliy will be a unique experience. They have some cool units, like the Norman Knights and Crusading will be super nearby. Plus you conquering Muslim and European lands will be equally close.

Denmark.

You can't argue with vikings.

[jaklei]

Sicily.

You can argue with normans.

(I will choose portugal!)

[VaeVictis]

Will Denmark be able to go on crusades?

They could not in the first MTW.

[smoke]

Yes they can.

[VaeVictis]

Yes they can.

Excellent.

Thanks for taking the time to stop playing to tell us.
