Empire Factions in 1700

[Subotan]

These look so cool. No longer will I have to fight wave after wave of Rebels (Eleutheroi :D ). Instead, I can inflict my wrath upon individual states and force them into submission! Even better, the emergence of obscure factions, such as Gran Colombia and Scotland looks amazing. Now if only we could play them (I doubt we'd be able to play the emergents, but a man can dream. A man can dream.)

When Spain was defeated its American colonies split into Mexico (confirmed) and Gran Colombia (two regions). There are also several rebel factions or micro factions that emerge. New Spain was occupied by Mayan rebels, and Panama rebels. Dutch Guyana was occupied by Arawak rebels, Ceylon by the Kandy rebels after the fall of the Dutch. Mexico and Gran Colombia become minor factions with which you can trade etc. Rebel factions are just rebels like in M2TW and RTW. They have their own color though.

[Mister V]

Actually all nations can reemerge, right? I had Austria pwned by Poland, but later on it rebelled and would've survived (if it wasn't for my total conquest, heh).

[A Very Super Market]

Yeah, if you can't keep order in their ex-capital, they pop up again.

[Megas Methuselah]

That is so cool. Imma send expeditionary forces to every European homeland with colonies, wipe them out and thus liberate their colonies, then pull out and let the new rebels rot in their own stew.

[Subotan]

That is so cool

What Meth said.

Wondering about emergent factions. Are they caused by something I can control, like run of the mill disorder (ie. just like in previous tw games, except instead of "Rebels" they have actual names and can conquer more land etc like a real faction) or are they triggered on certain dates? Like the Mongols in m2?

I'm hoping its the former, since as Britain I don't want to worry about pesky yanks or irish
