new preview at IGN

[andrewt]

Not much new or interesting news. A couple of interesting points are that they expect the game to go gold this week and in the images section there is an image of the starting territories in the early age.

Not sure about these:
Light Red=English
Dark Blue=France
Black=HRE
Dark Green=Italians
Violet=Byzantines
Light Yellow=Spanish
Orange=Almohad
Dark Yellow=Egyptians
Light Green=Turks
Light Blue=Russians
Dark Red=Polish?
Unknown Brownish Reddish color=Hungarians?
Gray=Sicilians?(unplayable)
White=Danish(unplayable)
Beige=Papacy(unplayable)

the Danes ARE playable...

[andrewt]

I meant in the early age. There seems to be one large nonplayable faction in it. Check the map.

[Dark Phoenix]

Probably the Golden Horde.

Non-fational rebel areas are those unhighlighted.

Horde doesnt arrive until between 1230 and 1260 and is a golden colour.

[Toda Nebuchadnezzar]

DnS. Thanks for the link! your MTW preview is superb.
As I was looking at the German faction start selection, something occured to me.

Is it me, or does Conrad here,

bear more than a passing resemblance to Rudi Voeller.


Sorry for going Off Topic a little, but I wonder if they did base their portraits on famous people from the relevant countries, or whether it was just coincidence?

That is scary!


DnS, can you post a screen of the AUM?

[Emp. Conralius]

Something is bothering me. On the following screen, the factions that are highlighted are supposedly playable. the Hungrians are highlighted in the Early Era. Are they playable in the early era? But then again, the Papal States, the Russians, and the Danes are highlighted aswell, so it may be a mistake...

The Russians and Danes are playable factions, but the Hungarians arent...
