    I voted for Hungary, thier infantry and archer selection is horrible, thier horse archers arent anything to boast about, and thier eliete cavlary are just as good as any other factions cavlary, thier only slightly redeeming fact is they have Pavisse spearmen, same as armored sargents but only 30 denari cheaper

    WOW

    lolz.....

    It depends of the era, I would say the Turks for the high Era

    I have only played three battles in medieval2 multiplayer, but I voted for the Moors. They seem to lack decent infantry, and their unit selection is smaller than the other factions if I remember correctly.

    Portugal is very good if used correctly. True they do have some copy units but they are very strong. Won several games as them in MP.

    The weakest in my opinion would Aztecs. The second would most likely be Hungary...

    Your joking? Seriously that is a VERY commonly used Faction and a very powerful one. They get access to some of the best units especially if your playing in High period.

    The Danes I think are pretty lacking.

    Numidia's actually pretty decent in RTW at low denarii.

    cheap enough to upgrade pretty much everything - camels, decent light cav.. much like thrace - an underused faction, not underpowered.

    The moors have some descent infantry and cavarly and good archers.. but their infantry is pretty weak better for desert maps i guess.

    The Moors get Dismounted Christian Guards which are about equivalent to Conquistadors. They also have Urban Militias, Turag spermean, and Sudanese Tribesman which are cheap and good line holders.

    Plus they surprisingly don't get that many units with "Combat bonus in Deserts". Don't get why people are saying they have bad/average infantry.

    And Moors get camels, ignore their stats seriously they own vs cavalry.

    Depends on era and florin amount - at 10k it's a joy to face off against scotland, france, timurid or mongol. Amazed somebody would say portugal as it's one of the best mp factions in any era and at any money.

    In team gmes aztecs are very hard to counter if the ally gives good cavalry support.

    Yup, Moors.

    No No No No No No No No No No No!!!!

    As TubbZ said, Moors own, dis. Christians are perhaps the strongest swordsmen in the game, someone should check their stats. Only dis. Imperials with weapon ups do better.

    Also, camels really do give cav a walloping, but only cav, if you get spears stuck in they wont be as effective.

    My opinion btw, Aztecs can be useful in team games, as their inf scare other inf, but in a 1 vs 1, Aztecs or Timurids would gmv.
