Third part of the "Factions". In the first part i listed all regions in the game and started the list of major factions:

Let's start with "A" like Austria, although Austria starts in german language with an "Ö": :beam:

I remember Polemists (you may know him as founder of the demo legion) stating he wants to play Austria. Indeed, playing Austria could be a real challenge.
Surrounded by several powers, a War on more than one border seems possible. Here is a quick list of possible enemies:

- Austria can be chrushed by Russia
- Austria can be chrushed by Poland
- Austria can be chrushed by Prussia
- Austria can be chrushed by Ottomans
- And Austria can be crushed by ... Rabbits! Yes of course, you want proof?

This is Pauline of Bavaria (Max Emanuel's wife) attacking the austrian border (see below Pauline -> Austria) :laugh4:

Serious now, you deserve this. Austrian heartlands with Vienna, Prague, Breslau and Preßburg:

What can i say? The most powerful fleet of the century? Easy to defend? We will see. The core of the british might:

http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/56/1884556/1440_6534633163333138.jpgSouth of the Protectorate: 13 Colonies
http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/56/1884556/1440_3165383833373839.jpgNorth of the Protectorate: 13 Colonies
http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/56/1884556/1440_3061396166353963.jpgNext one: Poland
Right between Russia and Prussia, in the North lurks Sweden, in the south Austria. Could be also difficult to stand against all these Powers:

http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/56/1884556/1440_6233336138396131.jpgBorders to Prussia and Sweden:
http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/56/1884556/1440_6538636462336335.jpgBorder to Russia and possibly the Ottomans:
http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/56/1884556/1440_3832313664366539.jpgLast one: Sweden
Always worth a game, will be my second try (after united provinces) for sure. Target for sweden could be to reach hegemony in the baltic states.
The northern provinces:

I wonder if province names change depending on who owns them.

Marten, what can I say but thank you, thank you thank you!

I really appreciate you going out of your way to put up these faction shots, it gives people who are seriously looking forward to this game a bit of calm in the storm as they wait impatiently for ETW to drop. It's great to see all the factions starting positions laid out in such a way, I honestly cannot wait to get my hands on it to try out Russia. :smash:
