It was quite hilarious.
But, anyway, since the original topic has been exhausted...
It should be interesting to see the various minor factions and, once they're unlocked, whether or not they have some interesting units to go with them. From the map in the other thread, it looks like Persia will be out there (if I remember, the Qajar were one of those crazily rich nations for a while), as well as various native american nations.
Makes me wonder if the Barbary States will be a separate entity from the Ottomans. That'd be a fun little minor faction to do.
