Favorite factions so far?

[OBGYN Kenobi]

Just finished a short victory with the welsh. Pretty fun, with really good archers, war hounds, and tanky spears. Any other recommendations? What are you all enjoying so far?

[Kaaz]

only welshed it up myself so far

I really enjoyed the Dyfflin vikings

Many ways to expand, and easy to dominate Ireland when you defeat Mide.

I went in hard with axe infantry, only to find them almost slaughtered by the irish javelins.....

I really had to turn my strategy around.

Now, owning all of Ireland - I raid the the whole Wessex coast and never worrying about money again

I have played the Sea Vikings so far. They seem to get on a roll. Not sure how useful that expedition mechanic is though, it seems to fail like 50 % off the time :S

That sounds awesome. What did you run instead of axes to deal with the javelins?

Get 3-4 units or archers and just mow them down :)

I've been running hard with the great cake burner, Alfred! Wessex has some dominating sword infantry, and solid cavalry. I recently began a war with the welsh and their longbows do take a toll, but can only do so much to stop me from butchering their infanrty.

Nice. I'll make a mental note of that...and probably forget it right away, then go on to complain about irish javelins.

Yeah, I was imagining that Wessex would bring the pain. Have you reached the end tier cav yet? I thought it said they were supposed to have some serious power.

Been playing Gwynedd. A nice small start to learn the mechanics. The whole family tree and royal family/nobles loyalty thing seems to work very well in this game.

I picked the same faction and for the same reasons. Their archers are fantastic.

Just finished short vicotry/ and short fame victory with Dyflin. Great fun exspecially like the expedition events. Gonna try Circenn next like the idea of the stone of destiny and being in scotland will be a change from Ireland.

I'm trying Dyflin right now, myself. I can't wait to unlock some of the higher tier melee units. Let me know how Circenn is, I've been interested in trying that one for it's cool starting position and different feel.
