New interview - only 5 starting factions !

Not really sure why CA would take this approach. The original Medieval allowed you to play 2 different game types, 3 different eras, and all factions unlocked from the start. This was bad how?

For those who forget, in the original MTW, all minor factions were initially unplayable.
This required a text edit.

[As for the arrangement with this game, provinces and map specifics concern me
more than the text edit.]

I see it like this

new players-Unlocking factions

Mid players-Follow papacy missions

hardcore players-Conquer the world

I actually think they are knowing full well that people will go and modify the game, but they would at least like to have you see some of the opening sequences to show off all of the hard work they have done
