Re: What, no Russia?
Either it has to be unlockable or you can look at the info in this way, that while the factitons on top are confirmed playable, the other are confirmed but nothing is there to say that they are not playable. Be optimistic.Russia will be playable. Having it otherwise is simple impossible!
The horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.
Re: What, no Russia?
As CBR said (Madness!), this is CA, however. They might not've been able to think of a suitably silly fantasy unit for Russia >_>
Ah, well, one can always hope. I've always wanted to give the Russians a proper go at Constantinople. They tried so many times and never seemed to be able to make it.
That and Russian India just has an nice ring to it ;)

Re: What, no Russia?
Holland? That's just the one province - I presume it will be Dutch Republic, or United (Dutch) Provinces?

Well People in Holland are Dutch.... So it doesn´t really matter what you call it ^^Originally Posted by Geoffrey S
And if they don´t Include Russia even as unlockable, that would be big mistake. I don´t really see "Russian India" or anything but they were major force in Europe, not just run-over like M2TW Russia is (as AI, real player can make miracles with Russians)

The later half of the 19th century was dedicated to the Great Game (or Tournament of Shadows, if you're Russian), where Russia and the UK struggled for domination of Central Asia, most likely as a pathway for the Russians to gain access to India and threaten British interests.
Of course, nothing ever really came of it because Afghanistan was in the way and Iran was still too strong and too far away to easily take over for both sides.
Of course, Russia DID have one of the largest fleets in Europe. Third largest during the Napoleonic Wars, if I remember right, just after France.

Re: What, no Russia?
Russia was obviously a major power in the 18th - 19th century. They contested wit the Ottoman and successfully resisted Napolean, not to mention a couple of great monarchs and generals, but didn't know they had a significant navy though.
Re: What, no Russia?
St. Petersburg which was to allow Russia to establish a fleet was established in the 18th century.
There's no way Russia cannot be in the game.
I notice a lot of people throwing this "fantasy" word around. Makes me wonder if they even know the meaning of these words.

Are you stating that there are pixies and mermaids in the game?
