Actually, going by the campaign's mini-map, it appears that Portugal *is* independent (as it should be). Now whether or not it's one of the original 12 playable factions is another matter, but at least it will be in the game.

...call me silly for just noticing this, but Russia is brown?
Ugh.
Well, now I have something else to live in fear of until the release. Horrible brown uniforms for Russia.

Yet Saxony seems...Pink? Not since Aragon has an entire army been cursed in such a way

. Lucky Russians.

Which makes me think, in the interest of preserving Saxony's dignity upon the battlefield, that maybe CA has a faction color and a troop uniform color?

The faction colour will find its way into the uniforms.......not explicitly, but only enough for one to be able to tell one faction from another on the battlefield. Atleast that is what I understood by the FAQs.

Let's not forget about the poor Parthians. Never thought a Cataphract could look so camp.

Generally though, there does seem to me to be something a little off about the faction colours. Maybe I'm just too used to the French being blue.

Color of bear... Well not all of them, but Russian bear for sure. I think Russia should be red, but it the end it doesn't matter for me.

LOL, the Ottomans have stolen green right out from under the poor Russians.
