Actually, the second largest overseas empire, at the start of the game (1700)

Sincerely, I don´t get it.

Oh right, my bad. There are so many people who think Portugal was a minor nation I've got used to defending them

CA for instance. Portugal is in the list of the minor nations.

I noticed in one of the campaign map screenies, you see the diplomacy scroll, and its split into major and minor nations. There's 12 nations listed as 'major', besically all the one's we know to be included, however the US is not there, but both the Mughals and Marathas are. I think these must therefore be the 12 playable factions for the main campaign.

That would make sense if it weren't for the fact that CA stated that only one Indian faction is playable, and we know that that is the Maratha. Theres also the fact that the US seem to be the 12th. It's really quite a mystery.

Perhaps they arn't counting the Mughals as Indian, after all the Mughals themselves weren't, plus are they not listed as playable in the demo files?

Maybe they are then, it would be nice if they were I guess. It's all very vonfusing really, with a lot of contrdictory info. But in a week it shall all be clear
