Poland-Lithuania please.

This area of history is not really my strongpoint, was Germany in this period still a hodgepodge of small states? I guess you haven't included them to make things abit simpler?
Oh and if anybody would like to use Sweden (or Denmark) rather than the faction they have picked let I-K know so I can use Savoy. No biggie if I can't change though.

In as saxony i suppose.

**johnhughthom** · 10-23-2009, 23:23

You had to pick Saxony right after I asked why there were no German options didn't you? You will feel the might of my Swedish armies for that insult.

Don't know how I missed them...

Id love to take Sweden John.

I am going to make Riga my new capital!

Austria, Prussia, and (to a lesser extent) Bohemia are the German countries.

**johnhughthom** · 10-24-2009, 01:15

Prussia aren't included, I was talking more about the smaller states in what makes up modern Germany, so Bohemia and Austria wouldn't really count.

The Kingdom of Prussia did not exist until 1701. Brandenburg-Prussia did exist but militarily played a very small role other than being trampled by the larger countries until Frederick William I came to power around 1640 I believe. He had some amazing victories against Sweden towards the end of the war.

Yes for the most part. There were a few larger ones

I think we should have a poll on the faction you hate the most.

**Askthepizzaguy** · 11-12-2009, 06:02

Shh let it be a surprise.

Also, if I lose this war, I still had fun this game because I got to give a Frenchman a vicious taunting.

I enjoy irony.

Cheers, that would be great. Could you change my faction I-K?

Will you be using any methods to try to ensure we ally at least semi-historically, or will we have free reign to ally with whoever we like? I guess religion would be a method to keep historical alliances. Sorry for all the questions, you've just given us a game with little idea how it actually works! I'll wait for our "tome of I-K's gaming genius" if I have any other queries.
