    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.

    I'm indifferent towards Portugal. It just doesn't seem like a very interesting faction to me, and would probably be the last one I'd try. But if it's in, I'm happy for you guys. ^^

    Mughals for me as well.

    Portugal was in decline by then - if the game began 200years earlier they'd have to be in but from 1700 on not so much.

    Persia would also be intersting although I have no idea what they were up to during this period.

    I'm pretty certain we can have both the Mughals and Portugal. Since I think they are the 11th and 12th faction respectively.

    Portugal may have been in decline but they still had a large over seas Empire that would be fun to expand. It's always nice to turn a failing country around and make something of it.

    The Mughals also went into rapid decline during ETW's time period, which is why we may end up playing as the Maratha.

    I voted Portugal, mostly because they warrant a spot in the top 12 for so many reasons. They introduced a lot of new tech (mostly seafaring). Didn't Portugal have some colonies in the game's space of the world? If not, I suppose that they'll be modded in. Yay for modding!
