Who are you going to play as first?

[Monk]

I'm still going with Russia!

There's still nothing more interesting to me than sweeping over Europe like a tidal wave and establishing a new Russian Republic!

[Wausser]

United Provinces ofcourse


As second, maybe GB or Austria

[Polemists]

Oh I guess if we are doing order.

1. Tutorial (Americas)

Because I want to learn the game.

2. Prussia (austria)

Calvary focus, I want cool calvary.

3. France

Naval Focus, something new.

4. India or Ottomans

Just for something drastically different.

5. Poland-Lithuania or Sweden

For some fun smaller nations.


After that it will be random.

It was confirmed the americans are in the tutuorial??? BTW-the RtI is not a tutorial, it is a xcompletly seperate thing, that does give hints ans such while playing.

The first part of the Road to Independance pretty much will be a tutorial. It's true that the RTI campaign isn't just a tutorial however. And yes it has been confirmed you play as the US. The first chapter is you playing as the British colonising the new world. The second is Britian vs. France and the Native American tribes. In the third chapter you play as the US colonists and attempt to throw out the British.

I know who you play as, but still it only acts as one, yeah the 1st chapter pretty much is but i still think there is a seperate campaign tutorial.

Yes I believe this is confirmed to act in place of the tutorial,

what is not yet confirmed is if I will have a attractive female blond advisor yet again

Upon further reflection, I believe I'll go through the RTI tutorial/campaign first. (I don't intend to keep playing as the U.S. in the 4th Episode/Grand Campaign, however.)

After that, however, I'm not sure. I'd originally intended to play as the British, but I'm almost leaning more towards France or Sweden now as my official "first" faction. After that, I would say Sweden, Prussia, and the Ottomans round out my top five.

As has been previously pointed out, this is incorrect. It's been stated in numerous articles the RTI campaign is designed in part to ease new/rookie Total War players into the game.
