    The ideal number of turns for a game is given by the following formula:

    Given that:
    • r = the distance to the nearest pub (in metres)
    • s = the average change in bladder volume per turn (in millilitres)
    • g = a random number between 0 and 1
    • PoTTY = possible turns till you're-done


    Then:

    PoTTY = (r + s) * g + 25

    Very ingenious, these folks at CA. Note: this formula was only obtained after great risk to life and limb, do not divulge to the public!

    If you read at the .com, it says only 3 continents are included. Europe, Americas, and India I would guess.
    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

    This is the most confusing part, purely because I would love to know how the map will look if it doesn't include Africa.

    Imagine Napoleon marching from France to Russia in 10 years.

    I always had the opinion that the lenghty travel times were frustrating.

    RTW:Marching from Rome to the forest of Germani in 3 or 4 years - unrealistic
    M2: Marching from Rome to Jerusalem 5 or 6 years - more unrealistic even with ship transport.

    Perhaps they solved the probelm this time...
    Hopefully the increased focus on navies has let CA give them a realistic movement distance; which should fix some of those problems...

    I think religion should treated as natural disaster in this era, a bit like the inquisitors in M2TW. If it appears you get strife, rebellions and your cultural and technological development is slowed down.

    It's the Enlightenment and the Age of Reason!

    Though in reality it never went away and played its usual baleful role in instigating major bloodshed.

    It is worth noting that for example in India the British ruled with relatively few troops by leaving social and political structures alone as much as possible. It was only when they got all "onwards christian soldiers" in the Victorian age that missionaries really started to appear in India. At about which time the Indian Mutiny happened - go figure.

    In Quebec, the Brits left well alone and things ticked over nicely without major interruptions.

    Whereas in Ireland where they interferd drastically in society and religion it all went wrong from the start.

    Cool Re: Religion

    Concerning religion IGN said in a preview that.....oh never mind, Mailman beat me to it.
    I don't like this idea as it probably means they're gonna clump religious sects and divisions together.(Like they have so far really. "Islam" "Orthodox" "Catholic", possibly Protestant, and thats it.)I hope they at least divide Islam properly this time, as this is really the era where the Sunni vs. Shia conflict begins.(As it was an important aspect of the Safavid-Ottoman conflict.)Plus their's the Shieks, who also show up in this period.(And consequently go completely ape shit on the Mughals, Maharatas, and the British.)

    Personally, I wish they'd include Africa as it provides a passage to India(or to the west, if your thinking of bringing Hindu/Muslim soldiers to the new world.)and the European powers were quite involved in that continent as well.(*cough*slavetrade*cough*)

    That is ridiculous. Someone needs to look at a map. During the Age of Sail Europeans were literally touching every country on earth.

    You can't have people magically go from North America to India... and that's it.

    Maybe they mean 'EurAsia', 'Africa' and the 'Americas' (Australia, Antartica, even Japan don't count by this time period).
