Who does like the french?
I don't like them anymore.
I just started the first game this year as England, with the rules to not crusade until 1100 and then only once every 20 years and after 5 years I had taken all of Wales and was King of Wales and England.
Then France, my allies, attacked my son, the Duke of Normandie, and dared to ask me for help.
After more than one year of war I could force them to give Maine and Arques back. And as revenge I took Anjou.
But that costed me all my troops while France had 40 000 in the end. I was lucky that mid war Germany declared war on France as Metz revolted and went to France.
