Re: What Factions would you like to see in Empire Total War
Please CA, don't make the mistake and have a HRE faction. Their power was broken in the 30 years war and would best be repersented as each indivuial state or strong rebels.
As for factions I would like to see
England/British
The Netherlands aka the dutch
France
Spain
Sweden
Denmark/Norway
Saxony/Poland
Baveria
Austria
Russia
Brandenburg
Pourtagal
Savoy
An Creimian Khanite could also be fun to play.

Re: What Factions would you like to see in Empire Total War
Don't worry about the HRE, we already know Prussia are going to be included. So far the official factions are:
Britain
France
Prussia
Spain
Ottoman Empire
America (emergent?)
My ideal faction list would be:
Code:01. The United Kingdom 02. The Kingdom of France 03. The Crown of Castile 04. The Crown of Aragon 05. The Kingdom of Portugal 06. The Kingdom of Sweden 07. The Kingdom of Denmark 08. Prussia 09. The Electorate of Hanover 10. The Electorate of Saxony 11. The Electorate of Bavaria 12. The Austrian Monarchy 13. The Swiss Confederation 14. The Duchy of Savoy 15. The Republic of Venice 16. The Viceroyalty of the Two Sicilies 17. The Papal States 18. The Commonwealth of Lithuania and Poland 19. The Tzardom of Muscovy 20. The Moroccan Empire 21. The Ottoman Empire 22. The Crimean Khanate

At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
Re: What Factions would you like to see in Empire Total War
I have nothing to add to the choices I'm seeing so far. It's unfortunate that the timeline just misses Mexico's struggles for independance and declaration as a republic.
Maybe as the first expansion or bonus campaign?

Re: What Factions would you like to see in Empire Total War
Definitely could see the first expansion being an collection of "struggles for independence" wherein you could fight your way to establishing any one of the following countries that "finally gained" their indepedent status in the 19th century:Originally Posted by Kraggenmor

Re: What Factions would you like to see in Empire Total War
That would be an excellent expansion!
Re: What Factions would you like to see in Empire Total War
how could Canada fight for Independence. UK past a law saying Canada had the right to declare independence.
Re: What Factions would you like to see in Empire Total War
The Netherlands should be in it certainly. It would be nice if its descriptions of units would be very short and to the point to save space. Also, prices of units and buildings should be cheap. It should be the best ration of price/effectivity. The units should also be very poor-looking. All of these kinds of things just to emphasize Dutch greediness
Emotion, passions, and desires are, thus peace is not.

Re: What Factions would you like to see in Empire Total War
How could Prussia be in the game if IIRC, it was Napoleon you dismantle the HRE ??What will be the time period of ETW ??
Any hint on that someone ?
Proving the others wrong does not prove you right.
Being against war is an evidence in itself but peace is nothing but an absence of wars.
If capitalism, and all its vices, is the best humanity can do with its energies when at peace, it might as well start fighting again...
It is said that the people during the Middle Ages when uneducated, gross, naive, fearful of the unknow and uncaring for all but their little pleasures, with the exception of some elites. I can assure you it haven't change to this day.
Re: What Factions would you like to see in Empire Total War
That would be great, however you must add one more:
Greece.
[I just picture the units in a Greek-ottoman struggle, awesome!]

Actually I feel that this is a must for an expansion. But not Just Greeks vs Ottomans. Serbs, Bulgarians and Romanians are needed at least. Balkan Nationalism expansion spanning from early 1800s all the way up to 1913/14 after the second Balkan wars or at the assassination of Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary that sparked off World War 1.
Perhaps I am somewhat over stating the importance of this little corner of Europe but as an expansion I feel this would be one of the big ones.
Re: What Factions would you like to see in Empire Total War
talking of expansion for etw.. it will be cool if they had 3 or 4 different campaigns in different continents with empires struggling for power and traderouts making some of small non playable faction playable..same idea of Kingdoms with a slight difference
hope CA stuff hears of this idea..but i think they'r busy finishing the 25% of the game..looooool
Re: What Factions would you like to see in Empire Total War
Every country that is out there should be playable(if they ocupy enough of a province) how damn hard can it be make some minor country type units for say european middleeastern asian african types also maybe native .
Re: What Factions would you like to see in Empire Total War
An amazing Kingdoms-esque expansion campaign: Fall of the Ottoman Empire, with the player either choosing to claim independence, or once again establish Ottoman dominance--map would include Eastern Europe to Caspian and down to Egypt(?)! If not, that'd be a great mod idea!
I've no real opinion on the real issue in this thread. I've not even miniscule knowledge of the history period and nationalism hasn't gotten anyone anywhere positive. It was different with Rome and Medieval but I think going in with no knowledge shall be fun, too! I'll base my preferences wholly on in-game playing styles!

Re: What Factions would you like to see in Empire Total War
Seeing a Kingdoms-like expansion for ETW would be great! The Great Northern War, the Balkans wars, the struggle for India (maybe a LITTLE historical tweaking to make that one more fun, but thats what CA's good at, right? :P), the American Revolution, the Latin American Revolutions, all kinds of good stuff.
A few of those are a bit out of the time period (Greece 'officially' declared independance in the 1820's, didnt it? And the Spanish colonies in America did the same at about the same time...)
