Who are you going to play as first?

[Polemists]

I don't think I'll play any of the unlockable factions, I just enjoy the speeches and voices to much to play a faction where they are limited at best or stolen from another faction at worst.


I wonder though, if all playable factions are unlockable right off the bat, if any rewards will be given when you beat the grand campaign.

As the reward used to be you could unlock more factions.

Hidden maps, units, new starting leader, i dunno, but i'd be nice to have some reward for your faction when you win.

Some of the non-playable factions will probably have their own voices, especially some of the more unique factions such as the Native Americans and the Indians.

I've always though that TW games need to add in rewards for completing the campaign. It would definitely add even geater replay value.

New units, new colours, a fancy flag, a special building, a new resource, larger starting armies. Any of those would be good rewards for winning as a faction. And it might persuade me to play as every faction if I could unlock something really interesting by playing as them.

Even a decent ending cinematic would be nice. Shogun had by far the best ending of any TW game, and that's saying something really. It was still pretty cool seeing a statue of your leader in modern Japan though.

Yes, I think Barbarian Invasion wasn't bad because at least each faction had it's own little execerpt.

Though Rome sucked, when I won as gaul and got a Briton ending it was sad :(...my guys weren't blue...why did they have to be in the cinematic...


MTW2 was horrid if you didn't play as one of the main five, France, England, HRE, Venice, Spain, you got nothing. No matter who you played it was the same silly movie.

I think some rewards would good, something to expand the faction a little so next time you play it's a slightly different experience.

All those ideas sound good.

Kind of like Age of Empires, where you rise in experience and gain benefits from it. I dont think I like that idea.

BUT. What I really want is statistics. Thats all the reward I need. I want to know everything about my faction at the end. How many kills, battles won vs lost, units killed vs lost, etc. Best commander, best income, admiral, etc. Evrrrrything.

[IlDuce]

GB, and I'll wipe out the French no matter how much it might ruin me and my coffers. It's a thing of principle and tradition. That being said I think Britain has a rivalry of sorts with pretty much everyone in the western world.

I'd love to have a statistics screen like this at the end of a campaign! Especially if you could save your results somehow and compare them to others campaigns.

@ IlDuce

Good show! Show those French blighters that us Brits mean business! Take their land and gift it to the Native Americans! That will show 'em.

Yes, that would be nice. I fail to see a reason not to include this feature. It shouldnt take more than some hours of effort.

Ireland also is confirmed by CA and also emerging faction in India it was...Punjab!

[Megas Methuselah]

Not playable, though.

[Polemists]

Yes, it is assumed that the other emergent factions who are not the 13 colonies are not playable.

As for the last two playable factions, no one really knows who they will be. Most guesses are a india faction and another faction.

We will probably here another faction next week as they are running out of days at this point. :)
