![]() Riga is another Village and an easy take. If you do this right you can claim Stockholm on turn 2 or 3. It will be a village so it will be easy to take. Then hire a mercenary cog and sail to Stockholm. If Possible use your spy to open the gates. It will happen no matter what you do so don't wait and attack Russia while they are weak.įirst send an army to take Thorn from your capital. Poland has excellent Calvary but you have to build up your economy first before you can use them. There settlements are poor and take awhile to build up so coin is not so good and Poland has weak infantry units in the early game. ![]() Poland is one of the more difficult factions to play as if you don't know what you are doing. They give you an excellent infantry unit. Spam these early and keep killing stuff until you get offered the Hashishim guild. Other than that you should have no problem in the game once you take the Iberian Peninsula which is very easy. Just be sure to watch for Sicily or a christian crusade. Timbuktu is probably the best resource province in the entire game. ![]() Put a fort on a Gold mine and spam it with Merchants and it's even better. With Merchants you can easily get more than 3,000 Merchant trade every turn. Timbuktu and Arguin give you a total of 3 Gold mines and other trade resources. You have great units such as Camel Gunners and Urban Militia and your Christian Guard is amazing. The Moors have an excellent starting position and it's just to easy with a Jihad to attack Portugal or Toledo and take it within a few turns making you a super power very early. (before I had the AI mod) I was able to use Italian Spear Militia and form a v at the main gate of each city they attacked and won every time even when I was out numbered. For example in one game I was Venice and the AI attacked me like 20 times within the first 15 turns from multiple factions. Having lot's of rebel settlements next to me is nice but having great units can make up for the lack of rebel settlements starting out. My favorite factions are Poland, The Moors, France and all of the Italian factions. Imagine doing that with say France who has much richer settlements and better units? The AI also are terrible so it's easy to get strong fast which is why I recommend Jack Lusted's AI mod for both campaign and battles. Sounds crazy right? You can actually become a super power within the first 12 turns with a difficult faction and stay that way for the rest of the game. If your a great player like Legend Total War you can play as Poland and take over Russia and just about every rebel faction around Russia and even take Stockholm before the danes within 12 turns. The Catholic factions clearly have the best units in the game with the exception of the moors and this makes the other factions a lot of fun because they are more challenging. Pixelated Apollo has the top ten as follows if I remember right:ħ: Milan (Genoese Crossbowman are ranked best archer in game, great Italian militia, Pikes)Ħ: Moors (only non catholic faction, Christian Guard are an amazing unit, Timbuktu one of the richest settlements in the game)ĥ: Sicily (Norman Knights are great, great Italian militia, Pikes)Ģ: Venice (Venetian Heavy Guard best infantry unit in game, Italian militia, Pikes)ġ: Spain (many great units including Conquistadors, great start for beginners)Ĭontrary to what everyone says Apollo actually proved Janissary Heavy Infantry and Archers are not very good. I will tell you my favorite factions after I post some research for you with a short description of each faction. However certain factions are harder to play for obvious reasons. Legend Total War is another great player and he shows that if played right any faction can be good. Your thoughts? Pixelated Apollo did a lot of research and picked the top ten factions based on units. Another thing i like about this faction are who challenge them byzantines and the mongols pose a challenge but thats what makes my experience fun, especially when the mongols idiotically charge into the front entrance and get shredded by Saracen Militia in schiltrom formation ![]() My favorite non-catholic faction are the Turks nice horse archers, plenty of rebel settlements out in the holy lands and perpetual jihad. ![]() norse swordsmen, archers, viking raiders). For me, my favorite catholic faction are the Danes good starting position and garrisons, plenty of rebel settlements to conquer (stockholm's a good one) and cheap but strong units (ex. With that aside, i want to here your opinion on what favorite catholic and non-catholic faction you like to play in the Grand Campaign. Heya, i'm new to the forum but not new to m2tw vanilla and kingdoms i've been playing it for quite a bit ![]()
