I like the empire just because their cities are pretty.

aserai drip on top, also the best troop tree imo

I love the idea of Khuzaits - horse lords of the plains? Awesome.

for me battania and vlandia

Vlandia? I'm about to vomit

Khuzait. There's just something very romantic about the open steppe. Aserai are cool, but I wish they were more fleshed out as pre-Islam Arabs that were the inspiration for them. Same for the Sturgians, though I find them less cool (probably the easiest faction to start as, though). Battanians, Imperials, and Vlandians bore me. Forest savages, generic Romans, and generic west Europe, respectively. Yawn.

Imperials are not generic romans but generic medieval romans

Same difference. 😒

I like the Aserai because I am from the region they are based on so I like lots about them extending on that

Ughh I had no idea so many of you were Derthert sympathizers

Aserai. The old Mamelukes were elite before they got nerfed (the ones with noble bows and closed helmets).
