Two separate questions really. What's the best faction to blitz the whole world, and what's the best to blitz the victory conditions?

Mongols.You don't even need to build troops.
in my humble opnion, the kingdom of england fits for both your questions, you just need to take control of britain, then everything else becomes easy
just keep good relations with denmark and norway, so they wont invade you(they are the only factions that always do) and youre safe, just a matter of building up two stacks of professional soldiers and invade france, bythe time you have control of france, youll be unstopable
Any faction on the far Western edge of the map has the advantage of only having to fight on one front once they secure their immediate surroundings.. So any British or Spanish faction or the Moors. Personally I prefer the English as I seem to get my economy in order the quickest when playing as them. That said it's been a long while since I used an aggressive playing style.
I think it would be Egypt, Just 1 Jihad, you will eliminate CS and together with Turk, you conquer Greece with few more Jihads. at that moment, you are already superpower in the world. Move west or north, you decide, bro.
Depends on if you pay attention to the pope. If you don't, its Egypt, you can be done before turn 20. If you do, pretty much Sicily or Venice as your Catholic rival is either 2 or 3 settlements (not enough to get you too low in favor), and if you do piss off the pope a little you can start taking out your other, heathen (), rival. You have not only the position, but the economy to do it too, unlike England where I always have to build up my infrastructure and farms before invading France.
Oh you also get OP Pavisse Units![]()
