Gah! Trade everywhere, landgrab in Africa and simultaneously invade two of my neighbors! And I don't autoresolve my battles...

Africa, lots to grab, and the lucrative trades.
Caribbean, islands are easy to defend, and have pirates.
Indian Subcontinent, I want to compete with the major trade companies.
North America, New France, 13 Colonies, get out of my way.
Split my forces. Small footholds all over, I don't like to focus.
Forget Colonization I'm attacking my nextdoor nieghboors first thing.
Gah!

well. It is starting to sound like almost everything is a "trade theatre"
Obviously America, Carribean and India can be conquered as I have seen screens...tho don't remeber where.
Other then that I guess africa is up in the air, but I would assume they would include the north african strip they included in RTW, and MTW2, of course I could be wrong.
I'll be sending small forces all over the map right from the start. There are so many areas in the world never covered in the TW series before.. I am desperate to try them out!
At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
Actually, I think trades theaters will be normal expanses of the map that will be unconquerable but will have things like ports which require a naval battle to take, so therefore it will only take a bit of modding to throw a few settlements in there.
i will go for north America and the Caribbean and maybe south africa with tid bit of India and most of france as Spain
There Can Only Be WAR!!!!!

I'd go for the Caribbean, it would give the Ottomans an easily defensible foothold in America, from which we can launch attacks on New Spain and North America

What?!?! How can you have a game set in the 18th and early 19th centuries and not include Africa!! That was like thee place to conquer and colonize in that time period! I really wanted to raise that American flag in Tripoli if you know what I meanOriginally Posted by Pantsalot
But the thing is that if Africa is going to be another trade theatre
than that is really dull the fact that all you can do with it is have trade rights..
It's included in the map of Europe without them slicing off the bottom so I hope you're
wrong [snip]. Oh well, I guess I just have to plant the flag in the heart of the British Empire and squash the Brits, who doesn't like that?

Caribbean.

It depends on what faction I'm playing. I'm planning to start as Sweden and will kick some Russian and Dano-Norwegian ass. I'll probably go for North America after that just cuz. I might go for a huge navy and try to gain control of the Mediterranean.
As England, I could go to war with Holland and Spain simultaneously. As Russia: war with Sweden and Ottoman at the same time and still could grab Africa, trade in America and India. As French, have war with England in America, grab Africa and attack the rest of Europe.
Everything I said happened in history, just not at the same time :)
