Riots, rebellions and executions.

Good stuff...Thanks again.

I'll probably start it with M/H as said. Maybe even M/M just to get going. That way I can get an idea of where to go from there.

That's good news about the recruitment pools/population on Huge too. I didn't want this to be a problem as I'm very much looking forward to getting a LOT of troops on screen.

Ok- I'm all done...once again, apologies for straying off topic

Even if as you have shown it doesn't make a huge difference, I think you should make it at least M/VH.

My 10 year old brother as decided to hijack my PC and play M2TW non-stop, and he conquered all of Europe as the HRE by turn 100. He then got bored with them, and started a campaign as the Moors. By turn 12 he had all of Iberia (if it was up to me that should be an achievement taking a whole campaign), and had won the short campaign by turn 25. He had no TW expereince at all prior to this.

Admittedly that was on E/E, but he said he'll try N/N next time and I bet he'll still steamroller the world.

Well, as you said: He was on Easy/Easy.

Maybe have him try M/H next and see what he does...just out of curiosity heh.

I don't understand why the campaign is apparently so easy though. I just don't see the point behind that development decision. There are varying difficulties...and M/VH or H/VH should be just as challenging as an MTW:VI campaign.

lol, he only wanted to play the Moors because he thought the Generals pictures in my Turkish campaign were really cool.

I've never had a serious go at VI, I hope too once I have played more M2TW and Kingdoms, then RTW/BI.

Anyway I'll stop derailing this thread now.

On Topic: Talking of MTW, I remember you often got 'specialised' rebels in that. For example you could face peasant uprisings, loyalist revolts, and also religous uprisings (I think?).

Something along those lines for revolutionary rebels would be immense in ETW. Imaginse playing as the absolutist French, when some Republican rebels appear in Paris. These governments would be the perfect driving forces behind civil wars. Please bring them back CA!

I seem to recall CA mentioning something like this, that if the right conditions were fulfilled, different rebellions would emerge, of Luddites, Jacobites etc. Presumably there will be some new mechanism for handling rebellions given the number and variety of rebellions in the time period.

[Rhyfelwyr]

I remember CA stating there will be emergent factions, two of those being the 13 Colonies and the Jacobites.

That is great, but it doesn't really allow much flexibility in the game. What if I convert the Highlands to Protestanism? I wouldn't expect a Jacobite revolt then. On the other hand, say France gets greedy, taking the Spanish Netherlands and then the Dutch Netherlands. Then I would expect some form of uprising from the Protestants there. In such cases, it would be particularly nice if a General was 'spawned' by them as their new King (or regional equivalent), who would still be part of the Rebel faction but control the region himself, with 'Dutch Rebel' forces co-operating. If I was to push my luck, in such cases it would be nice if Rebels were divided into regions, say in the case of the Dutch - Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Bruges, and Antwerp. If there was a revolt there where they got such a 'King' character, all armies listed as 'Dutch Rebels' would attempt to take all Dutch provinces, at least from the faction they rebelled against.

I suppose that really is pushing it though.
