    I suspect they will be generic because I also suspect they won't be playable, but there could be a non-native Arabian faction though.

    Two of them definitely ARE playable. The Ottoman Empire and either the Maratha or The Mughal.

    Also there were no factions in the Middle East that were not native to the area. Since there were ony two factions in the Middle East, the Ottoman and the Safavid.

    Check this map out, it illustrates what I mean. http://www.euratlas.com/history_euro..._map_1700.html

    Well natives without their own faction would cover most of the German States and a few of the other minor European States.

    I know this is not what you had in mind but they will likely be generic in nature.

    Unfortunately Sub-Saharan Africa is not mapped so that most of what you are calling native factions will be the Amerindians and Indians proper, though the latter are part of larger factions.

    Question Re: Natives

    Won't each area have its own rebel faction, though? IIRC, I don't think there's going to be a standard, large slave faction...

    You are correct. CA have stated there will be region specific rebel factions, with no overall 'Rebel' or 'Slave' faction.

    Which is quite impressive really, I wonder how unique each rebel faction will be?

    I suppose in central Arabia, there would be some nomadic tribes. Of course, I don't think there would be much of a reason to even bother attacking that area as petroleum wasn't needed a lot.

    I suppose I'll flee to Arabia as a Native American faction when the Iroquois come knocking on my door. It'll only ever be good as a hiding place, methinks!

    Like Paul and Jessica in Dune? Maybe meet some desert tribes, become a religious figure and then sweep the rest of world in a glorious jihad?
