nothing quite ever compared to conquering the world with the Aragonese.

I think they're counting the US as the 12th faction. In one of those youtube videos in another thread, the CA guy said something like "We have 12 playable factions, some are European, some Asian and there's the 13 colonies."
To me it doesn't make sense that they wouldn't count the US as one of the 12 playable factions. I mean, it is a playable faction, not quite like the other ones, but still playable. If Portugal was in I would think they'd say 13 playable factions. I don't think they would advertise 12 playable factions if they could say one more.

There is logic to both ways of thinking…
If it were so though I would have expected the 13 Colonies to be an early addition to the faction list. It just makes sense for a marketing stand point…as it is no surprise they are in the game, you know.
But while you have RTI they are an emerging faction, if they appear at all in the grand campaign.
They would not or should not have spent so much time explaining that.
They did make sure to name it in the interview, however, as the North American faction.
That likely means that the Iroquois are not in…
So....

So, what will we hear them say if everyone is speaking the proper languages?
I am of course guessing they won’t get everything right, just like me and the spelling.
But I doubt my Bavarians will be speaking Bavarian and will only be speaking German…and that likely with a Hamburg or Berlin accent…![]()

Bavarian is not just an accent or a dialect. It is classed as a language.Just like Friesian…
Not to say there isn’t an accent and dialects…
It isn’t so hard, UK or elsewhere…you just have to be smart enough to ask!
Just like you should have been smart enough not to get me on the subject of Languages!![]()

I think if Lithuanian makes it in by some miracle (perhaps Polish-Lithuanian units respond in both languages, or there are several specific Lithuanian units? Who knows, although IIRC Polish was mostly used by the nobility in teh Commonwealth so I wouldn't be surprised if there was no love for us liths again), it's safe to say they'll make Courland use Lithuanian, since both languages are very similar (as far as I've encountered Latvian, anyway, feel free to smash me to pieces here if I'm wrong).
Just so I contribute to the main point of the topic, I hope Sefevids make it in as the 12th playable factions, as I intend to play them and the more polish, the better. Although honestly, I'd be as satisfied with the Crimean Khanate, although it being playable would be... unexpected, methinks.

While i believe, to keep quality 50 factions shouldnt be made playable, a good half should be IMO, any that has a quality aspect should be playable, only the really rough factions being unplayable....
edit: at the twc people are pretty damn sure its maratha confederacy, and portugal looks almost impossible, so y'know...

I wouldn't care if the campaign for Switzerland or something was completely impossible, I just want the option.

It's a mute point now guys, I mean the 12 playable are in. You can hope for more in a expansion or another tw game but at moment it's 12.
With a deadline crunch, demo demands, etc, I don't think they are going to suddenly add another 20 or 30 factions.
Tuesday we find out who number 11 is :)
