    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.
    Emotion: you have it or it has you.

    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.

    I have an awful memorey, but if i remember correctly, the revolutions start in 1784, and napoleon came to power in 1799, and the napoleonic wars finished in about 1815-1820, so these states would exist.

    Though regardless of that fact, prussian forces were at waterloo if i remember correctly.

    Yeah they were at Waterloo, I'm sure this will be some kind of factor in the historical battles, assuming the game goes up to 1815. Although it might since the article in another thread states that the American revolution is at the tail end of Empires, and in the official website, it states that the French Revolution is included also.

    Of course that opens up another topic which will be saved for another thread, War of 1812 units, US and English soldiers looked quite different from the American Revolution and the War of 1812.

    I remember seeing somewhere there'll only be ten playable factions. Or maybe that's ten playable factions at the start.

    The Frenchie Revoulution started in 1789 and went until 1794. Nap became a General and blew the rebs away. His campaigns into Italy started in 1796, and he kept going, conquering Italy, until he reached Egypt. THen the whole Nelson thing, etc,etc.

    Yes indeed Princer Blütcher was their commander. Since the last Holy Roman Emperor was "abdicated" by Napoleon and the Empire itself dissolve in 1806. Although after reading a little on the subject, there seems that Prussia and Austria were already "powers" inside the HRE but would they be included as Emerging factions, the HRE players having to decided which kingdoms he wants to rule from now on ?

    The HRE is a rather pointless concept by 1700. The different states within the HRE took opposite sides in the great coalition wars.

    Bavaria vs Austria (and the Emperor) in the War of the Spanish Succession.
    Prussia and Hannover vs Austria and Saxony in Seven Years War

    etc, etc.
