favorite faction?

[MihailoSRB]

BTW Is there a Romanian faction I can play in this mod in the future?

Unfortunately, there will not be a Romanian faction, because Wallachia did not yet became a state in the year 1200.
However, there will be Vlachs that you can recruit from Bulgarian (and maybe some other) villages.
Also, you can always create your own faction and give it the name you want, so basically, you can create a Romanian faction.

My absolute favourite is the County of Holland, since I am from Holland, and a proud one too. 
Second favourite is the County of Flanders for their resemblance to Holland, and their easy-to-get troops should the HRE or Frisia burn and pillage our humble villages.
Third is Frisia, for having Willem as their lord, a.k.a Willem I van Holland

<<< Historically, Willem accompanied his father, Floris III van Holland, during the 3rd crusade in 1189, after Floris's death in 1190, Willem was captured in France during his travel home. In 1191 he finaly returned to Holland, only to find out that his older brother, Dirk VII van Holland, enherited the title of "Count of Holland". He started a revolt against his brother, and became count in Friesland after a reconciliation. Friesland was considered as a part of Holland by the Counts of Holland. His niece, Ada, Countess of Holland inherited Holland in 1203, but William couldn't accept this. After a civil war (part of the Hook and Cod Wars), which lasted for several years, William won the war. Louis and Ada were supported by the bishop of Liège and bishop of Utrecht, and the count of Flanders. William was supported by the duke of Brabant and by the majority of the Hollanders.

Emperor Otto IV acknowledged him as count of Holland in 1203, because he was a supporter of the Welfs. He and many others changed allegiance to emperor Frederick II after the battle of Bouvines in 1214. He took part in a French expedition against king John of England. The pope excommunicated him for this.

Possibly because of this, William then became a fervent crusader. He campaigned in Prussia and joined in the conquest of Alcazer do Sal. In Europe, he came to be called William the Crazy for his chivalric and reckless behaviour in battle. William conquered the city of Damietta during the Fifth Crusade. >>>

NOTE: If you completelly inahilate the Sealands of Frisia as Holland, Willem and a few other nobles of the Sealands of Frisia will join the County of Holland.

I just started playing E1200 again. I will have to go for Brabant this time, for obvious reasons..

I know most about the history of England and Scotland... and I am a little scottish, so my first playthrough I become the world's richest man and vassal of Scotland.

Updating to v0.15 and importing my old character, I'm busy experimenting. A vassal of the Tuscan league right now, but that's kinda boring. I am trying to find a new "favorite" to join, befriend everyone around me, then become king. Last time I tried that (as the vassal of Scotland) I was to spread out and started on my own to soon. Ended up having both England and Scotland trying to kill me, with my lands spread all across the island.

If only the entire map was filled, then I would either go conquer Greece, Jeruselem, or Egypt and go from there. My plan now is to just re-forge the Roman Empire.

Obviously France... because I'm french 

and because this faction is exciting to play, it's powerful but not too (HRE is better). There's many cities and many neighbors which is synonymous of a lot of wars... we can't be bored !

And french chevalier is awesome

The Kingdom of León. It's not featured very often in games but it was a mighty kingdom. The king of León was the first in Iberia that got crowned emperor (though it was more of a simbolic title as the other hispanic kingdoms that pledged vassalage to him remained fully independent) and even if the kingdom was already declining in 1200, it's nice to regain the past glory of the empire and kick some Castillan ass back to the vassal county they were

Yes, I was born in León.

Isn't it cool? I love their position. When I played as them, I felt like a real viking, telling myself "well, what am I gonna raid next?"
