12th playable faction

[General SupaCrunk]

I go for Iroquois.

And we know one of the Indian factions are playable, but we don't know which.

[Sir Beane]

Almost certainly Portugal (if we aren't counting the US as an option).

[General SupaCrunk]

Not counting USA/13 Colonies, we already know it will be playable in RTI.

As much as I would love to see some of the others, and I think they are important, the idea of playing the Iroquois is just too cool to pass up my vote.

[ByzanKing]

Mughals for sure, long LIVE the War Elephants!!!!!!!!!

[KozaK13]

Mughals dur...what about the 11th?

[Don Jacopo Caldora]

Portugal

One of the colonial powers of the time and one of the few to compete with the Spanish and English Empires in Trade as well.

[Roka]

i'd go for the jacobites if that was ever even likely to happen :(

that's just the "rebellious scot" in me though

[KozaK13]

Guys, why 12th faction? there are 2 more to announce, therefor there is an equal chance portugal and an indian faction will both be in the game as playable from the off.

At this point we have 10 factions.

One will be in India the last we heard.

In my opinion the other will be Portugal or Venice.

As much as I would just love to see a Native American Faction, I seriously doubt that we get it. If we did they would put on technological limits to the point that you would never leave North America anyway…

Maybe with a mod we will be able to do this but not yet…

I'm almost certain Faction 11 will be the Maratha/Mughals and Factions 12 will be Potugal. Venice would be interesting but they hadn't really got an Empire or a great deal of power during the time period.

Portugal were declining but they aleast still held considerable overseas territories, which is perfect for the premise of the game.

@Sir Beane

The reason I included Venice was only because it is Italian and the largest Mediterranean faction…it only looks like the other likely candidate.

I would rather see Portugal…but actually many more factions in the game than only 12.

If we want an Italian faction how about the Papal States? The Pope could be out to turn back the age of englightenment and scientific discovery, and go back to good old crusadin' and burnin' heretics.

The tech tree could be mostly religious doctrine and implements designed for the inquisition. Fun stuff.
