Originally the game was set to end in around 1820. At some point they decided to end in 1799 but the units and tech tree are still there.

The other 5 frigates may very well be there as well. I am hoping they are!

In the survey this was one of the choices…1800-1900.

You guys are concentrating on European developments in fire arms and forgetting that the Henry Rifle made it appearance in the American Civil War along with gatling guns and a few other major developments…like iron clads and submarines…



Yeah, that's why I am not even completely comfortable going up to 1870; I just love that era though.
As far as technology, I really dont want to go beyond muzzleloading smallarms. I guess that would mean a cutoff date of not much beyond ETW. I hope CA goes back a bit to 1600 after the Napoleonic Expansion. I would love to see a Tercio formation in battle. Then we could tie them all in for a 1600-1820 extrvaganza.
