Good point - I was rather alarmed to hear it was only 120 years (implicitly thinking 1 turn/year). But 240 turns sounds ok. In M2TW, I'm struggling to keep interest after 100 turns.

I am little more worried about the large scale map. I am a bit leery about covering America and India, for much the same reason people queried the Aztecs - the war with whom in M2TW is represented in a fun, but far from historical way.

I would have preferred a more in depth European focus. But maybe that will be the expansion. Napoleon Total War anyone?
