Actually here is how I might start out,

Ottoman Empire as military, or the British.

India as an Economic Empire/ Sea trading etc.

I'm not sure about sailing east, CA haven't mentioned it. You'll be disappointed if you want to take China, it isn't in the game. As far as we know everything North of India is inaccesible.

While sailing East to get to the west has not been officially addressed CA might not want the controversy of unmaking the round shape of the Earth…

Spain had an important Treasure Route there, with the Manila to Acapulco Galleons.

There should be Pacific ports in the Americas. You have a cost line from Peru to British Columbia. If these don’t have ports or transition boxes for ships, I think that they will catch a little flack for it.

What do you think?...

Sadly I think South America is out.

The only regions of Americas i've seen in the maps thus far is north america. I assume New France and 13 colonies will both be there, and maybe some southern territories controlled by Spain given the time frame.

So far, our best guess on trasition zones, is that your just in a zone since you can't conquer them or establish cities in them apparently.

So for instance Canary Islands is a transition zone I think, and it just is.

Only areas we know are in is Europe, India, Carribean and Noth America, beyond that it's guess work.

You know until we have

Some things we know about the game and some are just guesses. If there is a map though, it gets harder to make provinces unreachable…especially if you give it to some playable faction or other.

Go here: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...=110990&page=3 bottom of the page.

As you can see it is the Americas and some of the provinces.

The city of Panama with all its wealth was on the Pacific side. To raid it you had to march through swamps filled with mosquitoes, crocodiles, and poisonous snakes, or sail to the Pacific side. The alter of the Cathedral was made of solid gold…but white washed to disguise it. Morgan missed it…will you?

If I'm raiding a city I won't miss anything. I'll be instructing my men to take anything that isn't nailed down. And if it is nailed down to prise out the nails, then take it, then take the nails to!

yes...it is a great time to pillage the natives of various lands for all they are worth

I assume the same old exerterminate, enslave, occupy is back when you capture a native town. Though I could be wrong.

CA might be being careful about 'enslave' given the connotations with the slave trade that they are already trying hard to avoid.

I intend to peacefully occupy as many settlements as possible. My Empire shall be one of peace and tolerance.
