Originally posted by Ernavill:That largely depends on what units you prefer yourself. In Anglo Saxon England, however, the different armies would have been much more similar. They fought armies from Africa, to the Middle East, to Northern Europe. This also makes sense historically speaking, as you would not see such substantial differences between armies as the Roman empire would have seen for instance. ![]() In other words, you tweak your armies rather than overhaul them, when you change factions. By knowing these, you can make small changes to your armies to make them more effective. Yet each culture (or sometimes even faction) has its own strengths and weaknesses. The devs have done an amazing job at making the basic mechanics largely the same for each faction. Many people have complained that all the factions are the same in ToB, but this is not true. This means you can move armies across the water without losing any people, and if it comes to a battle at sea, they'll have a huge bonus compared to other factions (although, whether this proves useful, largely depends on your playstyle). The Sea Kings are the only ones who do not get any debuffs while embarked. Another very strong bonus for this culture is their seamanship. So while excellent at killing enemies, the biggest downside for me, is that you tend to lose more men in the process as well. And lastly the Sea Kingfactions, which has strong offensive capabilities. Chastened but not yet broken the Norse warlords have settled across Britain. Mide and Circenn both have very different units, whereas for most other cultures the two factions are (very nearly) identical. The year is 878 AD, the embattled English king Alfred the Great has mounted a heroic defence at the battle of Edington, and blunted the Viking invasion. The Gaelic culture does have the biggest unit difference between its two factions I believe. The Gaelic factions, like the Welsh, have strong cavalry units, although their archers cannot match the longbowmen. If you prefer infantry, however, the English or Great army are probably your best bet. Best archers in the game, and strong cavalry. For me personally, I like the Welsh factions best. That largely depends on what units you prefer yourself.
