I, for one, can't wait to march into India with the Russians :P
That aside, the fact that Scotland and Ireland can form their own nations should be interesting. I'll definitely have to give Ireland a whirl.
Besides that, I hope there's some kind of cheap spear unit so I can re-enact the Battle of Rourke's Drift. Two units of British line vs. HORDES AND HORDES OF AI SPEARMEN.
Just hope that fire by rank is implemented in skirmishes :P
