Five Native American factions? And here I was worried that conquering North America would be dull!

That actually is good news as until this point I was worried that in america I would just be fighting new france and the colonist, good to know the Natives get some units and factions to

Portgual can be as unique or non unique as they like, however last time there were 5 main factions and 12 (I think) playable.

This time it's just 12, there are no main or non main factions. Each faction is getting proper voice acting, speeches, units, buildings and unique tech trees, or so we've been informed thus far

i dont know why they bother makin unplayable factions anymore, within a day of release there will be a mod out to make all factions playable, turn of the annoying little flags and probs increase the turns to 4 per year. u know its true !

they do know it's true, but as stated before it is more for the reviewer's benefit then anything else.

The 12 factions are complete, custom voices, speeches, units, tech trees, balanced, etc, etc.

The other 38 only have bits or peices, but are not complete.

When reviewers pop open the game, they only want them to play the good factions and the good game. Since reviewers will not download mods anyhow.

So they want a 90% review or a 9/10, not the 8/10 they'd get when a reviewer goes, "I liked factions 1-12, factions 13-50 sucked though."

All about marketing

Yeah, so you can’t conquer the world with Corland or Bavaria until day two or three…

What language did they speak in Corland in those days anyway?

I am looking forward to upholding the great Bavarian Naval traditions!

We’ll teach those blighters to mess with us!
