    This is going to make the game a hell of alot harder than all the other games combined. The sheer number of factions you have to compete with (even though some are small) will definately give diplomacy a much more important role in the game.The egyptians will have to contend with the turks,byz, mongols all at once.

    Maybe...just maybe. TW will be a challenge late in the game....

    i hope that they make it harder to take scotland in this one. In MTW the rebels that had scotland were push overs.

    Nice to see the Scots there, hopefully this means you can fight with the Highlanders once again, my favourite unit in VI. They will probably be one of the more challenging factions to play (at least compared to other factions), tricky starting position,a powerful and hostile neighbour, bad economy at the start and probably not advanced technologically. Should be fun.

    For a sec there I thought you were talking about my girlfriend, Jessica Alba.
    Nothing close to pity moved inside me. I was sliding over some edge within myself. I was going to rip open his skin with my bare hands, claw past his ribs and tear out his liver and then I was going to eat it, gorging myself on his blood.

    Huzzah, indeed!
    I shall take the Mother Country and make a brand-spanking-new Empire of the Scots, spreading from the Western Isles to the Russias! From Cape Wrath to Iberia! Muahahaha...

    No, no, they have tactically retreated to lure the English into an ambush, you can see the ambush party behind the horsies.

    Those of you with these lovely "scenarios" are probably forgetting that:

    1) There won't BE any diplomacy; it will probably just be completely random like RTW "diplomacy". "allies" will stab you in the back, seemingly more than "neutrals", no one will ever accept peace, and it will just seem like there is no point to any of the options except to look nice in screenshots.
    2) It won't be tough as Scotland because, well, the game will be a pushover after the first few turns

    Personally I imagine playing Scotland will be a bit like playing Seleucia in RTW: Tough and exciting and nail-biting for about 10 turns, after which it's a complete pushover because the AI is so laughable.

    I hope I am just being sceptical.

    One thing that you need to remember is that we're all going to die, so why even bother getting the game? It's all gonna be pointless anyways. -sigh- Woe is me. (plays EMO music)
