Sure there was!

Which mod was it with Ireland and Scotland?

That was fun! Ireland ruled the world!

I loved the Irish and Scottish units any way.

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....
