No official word of course but what factions would you like to see in Empire total war. For me i would die for a Dutch faction. Because they had the best boats in that time.

Re: What Factions would you like to see in Empire Total War
I'd love to see some playable factions in the America's /India's/wherever you're going to colonize and repell the European invaders. Like the Monghol empire in India in the 17th c and such.
Re: What Factions would you like to see in Empire Total War
Please CA, don't make the mistake and have a HRE faction. Their power was broken in the 30 years war and would best be repersented as each indivuial state or strong rebels.
As for factions I would like to see
England/British
The Netherlands aka the dutch
France
Spain
Sweden
Denmark/Norway
Saxony/Poland
Baveria
Austria
Russia
Brandenburg
Pourtagal
Savoy
An Creimian Khanite could also be fun to play.

Re: What Factions would you like to see in Empire Total War
Don't worry about the HRE, we already know Prussia are going to be included. So far the official factions are:
Britain
France
Prussia
Spain
Ottoman Empire
America (emergent?)
My ideal faction list would be:
Code:01. The United Kingdom 02. The Kingdom of France 03. The Crown of Castile 04. The Crown of Aragon 05. The Kingdom of Portugal 06. The Kingdom of Sweden 07. The Kingdom of Denmark 08. Prussia 09. The Electorate of Hanover 10. The Electorate of Saxony 11. The Electorate of Bavaria 12. The Austrian Monarchy 13. The Swiss Confederation 14. The Duchy of Savoy 15. The Republic of Venice 16. The Viceroyalty of the Two Sicilies 17. The Papal States 18. The Commonwealth of Lithuania and Poland 19. The Tzardom of Muscovy 20. The Moroccan Empire 21. The Ottoman Empire 22. The Crimean Khanate

Re: What Factions would you like to see in Empire Total War
I have nothing to add to the choices I'm seeing so far. It's unfortunate that the timeline just misses Mexico's struggles for independance and declaration as a republic.
Maybe as the first expansion or bonus campaign?

Re: What Factions would you like to see in Empire Total War
Definitely could see the first expansion being an collection of "struggles for independence" wherein you could fight your way to establishing any one of the following countries that "finally gained" their indepedent status in the 19th century:Originally Posted by Kraggenmor

Re: What Factions would you like to see in Empire Total War
I want the Poland-Lithuania commonwealth included! Other than that, you can count on the usual suspects. I'm rather curious about Italy though. How many factions did they have at that point?

Re: What Factions would you like to see in Empire Total War
TW games are not about history as it went. They are about hypothetical history. Poland and the Dutch provinces were there in the beginning of the game and would offer some diversity to game play. If USA is in the game they had every right to be in too.
Of course Austria and Hungary should also be in the game as a playable faction. Perhaps also HREGN, the imperial troops from the Reichskreise played an imminent but often overlooked part in the succession wars against the French. Why not crush Prussia and Austria and remain as an empire after kicking the Habsburg emperor from the throne?
To have only 10 playable factions would be a big drawback. F.e. it would be a pity if the Ottomans would be the only non-western playable faction. If Indians or North Africans or Native Americans would have united (it's up to us to achieve this) history would have been different. And please, ever heard of the Scots dominating Europe (in M2TW)?
Everything would be possible, only the historically correct starting points and the economic and military mechanics should be there, CA should let us do the rest.

Re: What Factions would you like to see in Empire Total War
What rights have the U.S. to be in the game, even if i agree with you about the game is not history replaying.
At the start date of the game the U.S. simply is a colony of the British, so we should atleast start with a historical correct view of the nations.
If the U.S. is playxable in a expansion about rebellion i'm more than happy to try them out myself, but if i have to choose about for example a playable Austria or Portugal instead of U.S. in the main programm there should be no question.

Re: What Factions would you like to see in Empire Total War
Yes the purpose of the game is not to be conpletely in line with history (there would be no fun) but to take a nation from a historicaly accurate period and change the outcome. with this in mind i wouldnt mind if america and loads of other nations could be possibly playable, but with only 1ö player nations i would rather see a more powerfull one.
and if are going with the changing a nations destiny line why not include someone like china, they would have a vastly different style of play from the european (and american ) nations. plus were potentionaly a lot more powerful than america. i know they were highly isolationist at the time, but the purpose of the game is to rewrite history yourself.
I think america was only put in for marketing reasons (i am sure many americans would love the idea of playing there own faction)
Re: What Factions would you like to see in Empire Total War
Personally I think that China, Japan, Africa and South America are being saved for an expansion pack to cover things like the Opium Wars, the Scramble for Africa, and the wars of independence (and War of the Triple Alliance) in Latin America.
Re: What Factions would you like to see in Empire Total War
I agree with those who've said that HRE should not be a single state. It's just horribly inaccurate. Instead, make several factions out of it and if need be make the rest rebels.

Re: What Factions would you like to see in Empire Total War
This might sound silly, but I would like to see the Iroquois put in the game. Probably as an non playable faction. Had they not allied with the British, I might be speaking French now. I have enough problems with enuciation as it is.
Re: What Factions would you like to see in Empire Total War
french and indian war will definitely feature (i hope) :P
Re: What Factions would you like to see in Empire Total War
I would like to see the Jacobite Rebellion in like a historic campaign or something because the last battle on British soil was fought in that rebellion.
And in the middle of the game they could make the Scots or Irish rebel or somethin like that.
MON UNITED!
Re: What Factions would you like to see in Empire Total War
Heh, I hope due emphasis is placed on the European part of the conflict. It'd be great as a mini campaign, with at least Prussia, Russians and the Austrians, with French and English intervention to boot.

Re: What Factions would you like to see in Empire Total War
Is Prussia the only german nation which will be present in game?
Re: What Factions would you like to see in Empire Total War
Hi Galapagos,
It's currently the only confirmed German faction, although I, at least, expect there to be a few more in that region than just Prussia. You can read more about the confirmed factions here.
Hope this helps, cheers!

Re: What Factions would you like to see in Empire Total War
I'd be willing to bet that Austria will be in the game, but other than Prussia and Austria I don't remember any other major German nations during the time.
Re: What Factions would you like to see in Empire Total War
I would like to see an African Empire. Maybe Morocco.

Re: What Factions would you like to see in Empire Total War
From North America across Europe and North Africa to the Indian sub continent. I'm not sure how far south they are planning to go but my money is that it will be no further than Africas Ivory coast.
Re: What Factions would you like to see in Empire Total War
Well, since I am Brazilian, I would like to see the South American continent displayed in the game. During that time there was a lot of conflict against the natives and later there were several insurgents against the Empire of Brazil. Has anyone heard about the War of the Tatters? Also called War od the Farrapos? It was the longest revolution to ever occur in South America, and maybe the whole American continent, it lasted 10 years of bloodshed, and was the only conflict in Brazil where the whole revolutionary army was forgived and merged with the Emperial Army.
As for the European factions, if the British Empire is there, I'll be satisfied. I am gonna love to see those redcoats and highlanders destroying those pityful french armies.
