12th playable faction

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 :)

It has been stated by CA 24 factions are unlockable (36 starting)

anybody got a quote to back this up? Last I heard it was 12.
and official site still mentions 12.

Last confirmation on non playable from official forum was

"Non-playable: approximatly 40. "

Further news

Due to steam this is being mentioned alot

One big area where the 12 playable will differ is the multiplayer. They will be the only playable options in the Multiplayer campaign.

Meaning while you can mod in the locked factions in the single player campaign you will not be able to take them online.

This has been semi confirmed in a interview with a CA staff member named Kieran
