Re: between what year does the game take place?
Pick all the nits you care to, guys.
Anyways, to the OP: please notice that the game conviently ends just before Napoleon enters the building (don't nitpick this!). It's a likely possibility we'll be seeing that greasy-haired Corsican in a Napoleonic expansion or something extending even further. Who knows?

Here is hoping for that 20 year plus expansion! (and playable in the main campaign)

Re: between what year does the game take place?
So wait hang on, if its only 1700-1799, what happens to the Napoleonic Wars?
I was anticipating 1700-1820, as explained/confirmed in the ETW summary thread.

Re: between what year does the game take place?
The summary thread is a wee bit out of date at the moment. 1700-1820 was indeed the original intention it seems, but a look at one of the recent videos clearly shows that the game ends in 1799.Originally Posted by Lorenzo_H
As for the Napoleonic wars? Kick them off early without Napoleon! Who needs him anyway (except France.) If the game behaves the way it should then towards the end Europe should heat up nicely anyway.

Not to pick too many nits, but didn't the Egyptian Expedition take place in 1798?

Tallyho lads, rape the houses and burn the women! Leave not a single potted plant alive! Full speed ahead and damn the cheesemongers!
Re: between what year does the game take place?
I'm assuming they are saving the napoleonic era for an expansion pack. Why give the milk away for free?
Re: between what year does the game take place?
Very true. Since the Napoleonic wars are what we all want they are the best way to bait us into buying an expansion pack.
If Napoleon doesn't feature in an expansion then the second favourite would probably be the American Civil War.
Re: between what year does the game take place?
I'm sure the expansion will include a bit more than 20 years of French domination.
