OiM forum is quite active, though currently there is less spectacular progress - orders, other sounds etc.
I am a member of the OiM team, so I know what I am saying.
Cossack case - I had a big problem with them, but I decided to make them mercenary/regional units for NOW.
IN 1570 they were still on the margin of the Commonwealth with amore autonomy than Don Cossacks, but too few to make them independent.
The fact decided why they are not a faction.
They will be available to Poland, to Russia after some sort of event or a structure is build either in Russia or in Poland - e.g. the stronger colonisation of Ukraine triggered first rebellions - also to the Ottomans (protectorate-like structure) and as mercenaries to the Balcan states andother factions too.
I think the idea of 'faction patches' will be pretty good to allow more choice e.g. Cossack faction patch, Ragusa faction patch, Montenegrin, Irish etc, but this is for the future. I think the faction patch will generally use Circassian entry since it was rather isolated country.
The faction patches will also change the timeframe slightly e.g. Irish one will start during either the Desmonds rebellion or the Grand rebellion of Tyrone.
The idea is to make the bulk of the factions for now.
