At that time the elector of Saxony was also king of Poland.

But they were in personal union, which doesn't mean one state. At the same time king of GB was also elector of Hanover (the same personal union), but we can clearly see that GB and Hanover are seperate states in map.

fyi, you can get rid of provincial boundaries in Rome and M2 with about 3 minutes of modding. You just have to change the factions "secondary colour" to the same as it's "primary colour" in one of the descr files.

I think this is an early version of the map because there is a lack of objects on the map and CA said there would be a fair amount of them to give us objectives in a province outside of the main city.


I personally like the style and feel of the map.

edit: what's with the trophy symbol?

Not until 1714, actually. Assuming the game starts in 1700, Poland and Saxony have the same leader.

I'm just stating the possible reason as to why CA would make them as one faction. Maybe there will be some limitations for the player.

George I (House of Hanover) became king of Great Britain in 1714. In 1700 the ruler would be William who was also Stadtholder of a major part of the Dutch republic.

Actually one more thing, I forgot to mention lol...hopefully someone can answer his for me. It was noted a while back, by one poster, that there exists no mention of official campaign map info, on the TW site, or on the Sega one...therefore we assume this was leaked, rather than released. However lets assume it is official...or at least quite close, to what the finished product will look like. Look on the map of Britian. Do you see what I see? To me, them two characters look like Agents. I thought there would'nt be any Agents..such as diplomats in this game.That it was part of the effect of not ''clustering'' up the map? And that all Diplomatic engagments were brought up, in some seperate menu...Anyone know anything? I Could be wrong, but this is what, we were told...I am certain

Well I have a strong hunch that the figures with flags over their heads are generals. I'm not sure who the figures in black are, however.

Inquisitors of course ;)

From the third screen shot they look like generals just kinda shaded. Maybe because they don't have any troops?

Yes, I agree. But it will be wrong to not include personal union feature, otherwise Great Britain will own large chunk of Germany (Hannover) or whole Netherlands just because they have the same ruler. MEH!

[Mount Suribachi]

I really like it. Its recognisably TW, but also has the right "era" feel of a game like EUII

[darrin42]

Obviously I recognise, the Flag bearing units, as commanders...I was talking about the Black ones. And Ha-ha, they do actually look like the Inquisitors

[darrin42]

Plus Did anyone notice the Walled Citys??(Of course you did) I thought these were other things, which were to be done away with in Empire.

[leonardo]

maybe these characters are spies or governers who arent Generals Ca said they would reduce not eliminate agents.

Walls were still around they would offer at least a little protection against the enemy.
