Religion

[The Celt]

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*)
