Well ive heard from different people that china will be in it that means most of asia will be in there. Personally i do not belive it but it would be cool to have some samurias there
and Mexico is pretty obivouis so that means the carribean will be in there
And lets not forgot EUROPE the heart of it all
China?! Who says that? I think after CA announced the list of factions playable in MP (which contains no chinese, the only asian factions on the list are the turks, the mongols and the timurids)it's pretty clear that there won't be no China... and some people here think that there won't be America on the standard campaign map neither, but that the aztecs will get their own mini-campaign, others say that they won't appear at all in the campaign in vanilla M2TW.
Crazy internet people eh:dizzy2:
Theyre adding central america, why not do the whole world?
Because no one lives in Anarctica.Quote:

Well...putting all racism aside. One average european army (Trained, armoured, moderate equipment) can completely destroy any south american-north american army the indians there can get together.
No offense, just it wouldnt be to realistic to see Americans fighting europeans on the same scale. Just to much of a technological advantage.
It would be realistic. After all, why do you think there are nomore aztecs/red indians wandering about today? Because they got utterly pwned by their European overlords!Quote:

it would be kwl to have the hole world but i think that it would be quite weird and also on map wont it take ages to get to america
I think the map of vanilla RTW is fine for this game. It doesn't really need a huge map.
Where do scotland go then:juggle2:
bigger the better in my opinnion
Meh, I forget that it cuts out Scotland. Vanilla RTW slightly expanded to the north to include Scotland.
You'd probably need to go a bit farther east, too, to give some substantial territories to the Mongols and Timurians as well as the Russians, wouldn't you?
I know very little on Medieval history I have no clue about how far the announced factions stretched. I was mainly talking about expanding it very far to the east.
So no more campaign map, just one huge battlemap. :2thumbsup:Quote:

Starting time of 1080? That is before Chingis Khan was born and long before the unification of Mongolia. Assuming Mongols are a playable faction as advertised there is every possibility that Mongolia at least will be on the map. After the invasion of Russia and eastern Europe led by Batu in 1237-1241, the only contact with the Mongols in Europe were those of the Golden Horde.
To include the Timurids, I would expect the map to stretch as far as Samarkand

Sorry, I'm slow.Quote:

Adding to #3, are the provinces more rtw size, or rtr size (tiny)Quote:

According to this thread over at the .com, Wikiman is currently on honeymoon with his new wife! It also explains how what with one thing and another, there's not going to be many Oz CA staff about on the boards for a few weeks, and gives an idea of what's happening in the develpment as of now:

Where was it mentioned that the North was going to be cut off?
Thanks for linking to that. It's nice to know CA are working hard on improving the campaign and battlefield AI. If they improve that, I can't see how M2TW can possibly fail - given the past achievements of MTW and RTW.Quote:
