Perhaps I am getting the wrong idea here. And we certainly don’t know too much about the game, but from what little I have gleaned from the diplomatic stand point it may be much tougher to go to war than it has in the past.
The parts about upsetting the populous when going to war with other factions they my look favorably on sort of rings a little bell.
So I suppose that some factions will be more difficult to go to war with just because of public opinion and depending on your government there will be a cretin amount of war weariness in almost any conflict.
The other thing is the recruiting of other nationals. In other words Germans in the British Forces and Irish and Scots in everyone else’s. Particularly in anyone’s who happen to be fighting the British!
We know about the Irish Brigade in the French Army, and they had a sizeable number of Scots too. The Prussians had Highlanders and there are notables in Russian service too. I just wonder if it is going to be portrayed in the game in some terms or if they will just be high level units in the order of battle in some countries.
An interesting footnote I found once said that 80% of the forces France deployed to North America in support of the Revelation were Scots and Irish.
I am also interested in seeing how easy or difficult it is for a Jocobite Rebellion to take place. From what has been said on Rebellions it would seem that almost any province can become independent or at least rebel and join some other or become it’s own faction.
I would imagine that if conditions were right the 13 Colonies could become a Jacobite Realm.
Anyone have any other thoughts on this?
