    Seconded. If the Jacobites rise up, then I want to see them Ireland and England as well.

    As Sir Beane said, I hope the Jacobites are only one form of a "Scottish" rebellion.

    You bet!

    And if they had done them right they would be a landless faction in play. One the other Factions could supply with money and troops. One with their own agents stirring the pot to cause trouble or gaining influence.

    But I feel sure that won’t be the case…too bad, really…

    Sadly I think you are right. I doubt CA would put a faction with no land in. Instead they probably start with Scotland and then march on London. Or possibly they start with an army or two and have to take Scotland first.

    I'm sure that we can use mods to fix any innacuracies however, I'm just grateful we get emergent factions at all.

    Don't the Mongol hordes in M2TW start with no land? CA have applied landless factions before, especially in BI. I wasn't aware of the Jacobites until they were mentioned here.

    That's true actually. Both the Mongols and the Timurids start the game with no land and wander around until they take a city.

    The Jacobites aren't a very well known part of history really. Not even in England. I only know about them because a local city, Derby, is famous for being the furthest place Bonnie Prince Charlie (the Jacobite leader) reached before he turned around. I've seen his statue in person. In fact I've used him as a bench.

    That's because... firstly england is perfect, we have "never" had any prince rebellions 'cos the royal family is the only true one kind of british snobbishness. And secondly, we wont admit to losing a few to scotland. When do you ever learn about the wars of independance? It's stupid, we cant even learn about the empire! presumably out of fear that people will create new ones or the idea of the slave trade. We've even lost the title Great Britain, we were great once, onw look at us, scotland almost running away ireland previously back from mayhem after we've been there since at least the tudor era, wa;es still not knowing what to do with the assembly they've been given. The so called united Kingdom is breaking up.... whatever happened...

    oh and If you think I might be right wing... I prefer the left... I slide about the scale ever so much...

    and to stay on topic...

    in a revolution, what would decide the political outcome as in say re-enacting the russian revolution (october) earlier. what would control the political side of it?

    I was a bit anoyed when CA said that when the people rebel they will always want a Republic, surly not all people in these times wanted a Republic, like Prussia for example.
