Americas. same reason as phonicsmonkey stated. Anyway, I was really looking forward for the Crusades campaign, because of the turbulent times of the Crusades historically, but the heroes were less exiciting and the game was not as good i hoped it would be, I was rather disappointed at it in fact. Really enjoyed the Britainia campaign. The Teutonic campaign was ok, not made much better by my lack of knowledge about the history of Eastern Europe.
