I'd like to get started right away, so I'll leave voting open for 1 hour, and just go with whoever the front runner is. I'm not entirely sure I see the point in that, but then again the real William wound up winning this war, so maybe this ability is more powerful than it appears. His special ability is that his swordsmen can build a Motte and Bailey, which is a kind of fort. They look like they'd be an aggressive offensive force, and thus likely to either win or burn out quickly.įinally, there is William the Conquerer of Normandy. They have the same unique ability - faster embark speed and they pay no movement point cost to pillage. The two viking groups, led by Harald Hardrada of Norway or Sweyn II of Denmark, respectively. It seems to me like he'd be a cautious, defensive ruler who might not be super-exciting to chronicle (although, he does seem to most closely fit my playstyle, so we'll see.)
Harold Godwinson, who gets a bonus with city-states - influence degrades at half the normal rate.
