Campaign map low res screens...

Also notice the small land-mass in the top left hand corner, in the first pic.

Oh boy! We'll get to conquer Iceland! That really makes me happy, even though I don't see any strategic, or even economic, advantage in controling it. I guess the land of ice and fire has just always been very interesting to me.

BTW, were the Timurids ever confirmed as a playable faction? Because if they were, I would think the map would have to extend further east.

they are confirmed...but they will be as the mongols...will appear at the map as some kind of advanced horde system...and will not be playable...

[MaximianusBR]

[MaximianusBR]

I think that will be the east north america cost, caribe, central america and northeast south america part in new world map...it's good!!!
i fear that aztecs will conquer all these lands when you come to it....or maybe they will be adjusted to don't attack rebels...they will certainly be unplayable...

You are right about Aztecs not being playable. It would be quite boring since I doubt they will be able to travel across the ocean.
But if we go by the homepage then they won't be alone, the Mayans will be there as well.
And according to a magazine even the Incas but my guess is that they mean Aztecs.

I actually planned on opening a new thread, but somehow I'm not allowed to do it. Took me long enough to even register and sign on and find a password that was complicated enought to work but I could still somehow remember.

Anyways, I'm the guy that has found those screenshots in the German forum, and since I live in Germany I went out and bought that magazin to have a look at the video those screenshots were taken from for myself.

I thought it was a pretty nice video.
What do you think?

So when did it become bash the germans on this fourm thats not very nice. I heard people speaking in english in the video too. So just because our people care about us to get us videos :). Also I think the Mongols should be playable its not fair if you have to play only as a monotheistic faith I want to play as a fellow pagan and crush the Papacy :D.


Auch Ituralde Willkommen zum fourm. und Dank für den Bildschirm

Gah! My Eyes!

It seems to have a great diplomacy system and I can't wait for the High-Resolution version!

What about the Aztecs? They made a whole fuss about them and now the map CLEARLY doesn't extend that far.

Well could be because of 2 theories:
1. The map expands when the time comes.
2. They are simply not added yet to the map which is probably the best theory. It is a alpha after all.

[Lucjan]

I have a sneaking suspicion they'll be lazy and pull something like they did with VI, have two seperate campaigns and two seperate maps.

Well if those 2 campaigns are equally good then I don't mind .
But I think they said in one of the previews that it would be on the same map.

So you would have wanted to play a long campaign as the HRE, and rather than discovering the new world your people would have invented a time machine which allowed one of your armies to go back to Britain in the dark ages and conquer it on behalf of your new-fangled time and space empire?

Besides, I think that when the time comes you will be able to switch the map over to the New World, do some stuff there, then switch the map back onto Europe and continue the campaign there.

...you seem confused, because I have no clue what you're talking about.

I said they might put the aztecs and mayans and such in a completely different campaign similar to how VI worked with MTW.

Where in the world did you get time machines from?
