I go for Iroquois.

Almost certainly Portugal (if we aren't counting the US as an option).
Not counting USA/13 Colonies, we already know it will be playable in RTI.
As much as I would love to see some of the others, and I think they are important, the idea of playing the Iroquois is just too cool to pass up my vote.
:grin2:
Mughals for sure, long LIVE the War Elephants!!!!!!!!!:medievalcheers:
Mughals dur...what about the 11th?
Portugal
One of the colonial powers of the time and one of the few to compete with the Spanish and English Empires in Trade as well.
i'd go for the jacobites if that was ever even likely to happen :(
that's just the "rebellious scot" in me though
Guys, why 12th faction? there are 2 more to announce, therefor there is an equal chance portugal and an indian faction will both be in the game as playable from the off.
Probably Portugal. I would like Venice and at least have one playable Italian faction.
Portugal!!!! :smash:
Mughals would be the most intersting option I think, plenty of exotic units... and elephants!
Mughals and Portugal will round out the roster.
Mughals or the Persians, Portugal would be nice too. :yes:
I hope so. :2thumbsup: Although it may be the Maratha and not the Mughal.Quote:

Denmark-Norway.
Hmm.
While I like the idea of Portugal I sort of also want something different.
I think it will be Mughal and random faction.
Of course if they do pick US as the 13th faction then we are dooomed
but we may be saved
if we have
a
DEMO
I actually think we might be saved if
we
get
the
GAME.
We all know when the game is coming out, that release date is NEVER going to move any closer.
The demo though...remains a mystery.
So hopefully we will get a announcement and a demo soon.
because we all
want
a
DEMO
At this point we have 10 factions.
One will be in India the last we heard.
In my opinion the other will be Portugal or Venice.
As much as I would just love to see a Native American Faction, I seriously doubt that we get it. If we did they would put on technological limits to the point that you would never leave North America anyway…
Maybe with a mod we will be able to do this but not yet…
I'm almost certain Faction 11 will be the Maratha/Mughals and Factions 12 will be Potugal. Venice would be interesting but they hadn't really got an Empire or a great deal of power during the time period.Quote:

@Sir Beane
The reason I included Venice was only because it is Italian and the largest Mediterranean faction…it only looks like the other likely candidate.
I would rather see Portugal…but actually many more factions in the game than only 12.:yes:
If we want an Italian faction how about the Papal States? The Pope could be out to turn back the age of englightenment and scientific discovery, and go back to good old crusadin' and burnin' heretics. :tongue:Quote:

mughals, I want something exotic!
I'm indifferent towards Portugal. It just doesn't seem like a very interesting faction to me, and would probably be the last one I'd try. But if it's in, I'm happy for you guys. ^^
i second that!Quote:

Persia would also be intersting although I have no idea what they were up to during this period.
I'm pretty certain we can have both the Mughals and Portugal. Since I think they are the 11th and 12th faction respectively.Quote:

The Mughals also went into rapid decline during ETW's time period, which is why we may end up playing as the Maratha.
I voted Portugal, mostly because they warrant a spot in the top 12 for so many reasons. They introduced a lot of new tech (mostly seafaring). Didn't Portugal have some colonies in the game's space of the world? If not, I suppose that they'll be modded in. Yay for modding! :2thumbsup:
