    This is my main concern with stretching the game past the fall of Constantinople and into the New World era.

    How can they possibly model, gameplay-wise, the massive upheavals caused by the Europeans invasion of the Americas?

    First, you have the biological disruption with the introduction of European diseases.

    Second, you have the significant technological disparity.

    Third, you have the political turmoil with many protectorates/allies/subjugated tribes siding with the Europeans against their former masters.

    As a medieval era fan I would greatly prefer that the focus be kept on the European/Middle Eastern region. Not getting that wish, comon mods , hopefully CA will be able to implement this without having to lead my faction through dozens of battles where I do nothing but slaughter.

    I do not want to spend hours slaughtering all of their reinforcements piecemeal since there is a limit on how many soldiers can be "fighting" at the same time no matter how many stacks they have me surrounded with.

    Well, you could just as well argue that you won´t see a siege of Constantinople if the egyptian player wipes out the Turks and in the end, you will be watching a movie instead of playing a game.
