    Default Unlocking factions .... is the natural game method broken ?

    Now, before anyone mentions - yes I've read the Tips & F.A.Q and seen how to "cheat" and unlock factions by altering the code.

    But .....

    I've completed my first short campaign as France ( may as well have been a long one since I got embroiled in multiple disputes and ended up with approx 30 territories ! ) but when I went to start another grand campaign I was still only given the option of choosing the 5 starter factions.

    Anyone else experienced this ? Is there a bug in patch 1.1 that prevents players from progressing to using all factions on completion of a campaign ?

    Thanks for your help and comments - in anticipation.

    I'm pretty sure you have to beat a long campaign first to open them up.

    Really ? I was 99.9% certain that it was any Grand campaign - long or short. Anyone able to confirm this ?

    It needs to be a long campaign to unlock all of them. According to the FAQ on these forums if you destroy a faction you also unlock them?

    Yes, destroying a faction definitely lends to its availability in another campaign. But, I've read several instances of players who have had all factions available after completing a short campaign. Either they are spreading misinformation, or something is broken ..somehow

    Ok, I've worked it out and finally got the game to unlock the other factions upon completion of my French short campaign. Immediately after achieving the victory movie I had to elect to play on in that campaign to unlock the other factions. If I simply just chose to stop play at that point, the game doesn't seem to recognise the victory conditions have been met and keeps the other factions locked.

    Seems like a bug to me ....

    First, I believe its the short campaign and although I was cheating to test game mechanics, I did beat the short campaign and it opened them up.

    NO, I think is great to have to unlock them. I think it gives something to EARN and a reason to keep playing. I wish you had to destroy a faction ONLY to unlock them, not just beat the game. This way, I would have a bigger reason to destroy Egypt or take on the Aztecs when that comes up.

    Not sure if you are adressing me, Budwise, but if you read carefully you will see that you are actually agreeing with what I said...
