What, no Russia?

I'd say it's definitely possible they'll be in the game (although I'm sure they won't be playable). From what little I was able to make out looking at the fuzzy photograph of that map (the one I linked to in that other thread), it appeared as if there was a faction (separate from the Ottomans) along the North African coastline.

Of course as CA has pointed out, that was a very early iteration of the map, so who knows what's changed since then.

Ah, still, might be fun to try them out :P
Carving out a little pirate empire, maybe taking over Ireland, you know, that kind of thing ;)

It occurred to me today that since the US as colonies/its own faction will be present, how will Canada be treated? Will it be divided between France and England or will be a minor faction.

From the map in the German magazine "Computer Bild Spiele" it seems that France has Nouvelle-France and Louisiana and UK has New England and Hudson Bay.
