Speaking of idiotic design decisions, has anyone noticed that you can play as spain? Spain, people. Spain didnt exist, as far as I know. Aragon and Castille existed, but not Spain.

Also, Morocco, Tunesia, Tripoli, Algiers, should all be playable factions.

Lets see here... The Mongols are a decent addition, but they should be a standard faction, and playable. Speaking of which, the map should be extended to Japan at the very least, and include areas such as Timbuktu.

This game just sucks, man. The only thing worth playing it for are the battles, and the worst AI ever created ruins that.

All I can do is wait and whine until MTR comes out, I suppose. RTR was pretty good, and this should be even better, provided that it doesnt get screwed up with this nonsense of "Gameplay". Ugh. Fricken gamers.

You sound like a disgruntled baby. We get it, you don't like the game, chill out brother!

You have to realize that when CA made this game, they were aiming to make a profit. By making the game confusing and superfilious (not for us fans of history, but to normal people) with factions like tunis, algiers, navarre, georgia, etc, the game would lose its appeal. Plus, breaking Spain into Navarre, Aragon, and Castille would have been a pain to make specialty units for each, not to mention it would take away room for other factions as well.

timbuktu is in the game, you just have to look :x

The only reason I can give for CA neglecting to put more emphasis on the Balkans is probably b/c

1. they're from England, therefore their concentration would deffinitely be geared more towards western europe out of unintentioned bias
2. when it comes to western mass media (UK, USA, etc), the balkans are neglected, and that is a fact, not an opinion. I live in the United States, and I can guarantee that the average person walking in the street couldn't tell you the difference between a Magyard and a Serb. UK tries appealling to western audiences, so therefore it will have a western slant in its product.

CA tries to be as historically accurate as possible, while maintaing its appeal to consumers. Thats what I guess anyway.
