    What language did they speak in Corland in those days anyway?

    I am looking forward to upholding the great Bavarian Naval traditions!

    So, what will we hear them say if everyone is speaking the proper languages?

    I am of course guessing they won’t get everything right, just like me and the spelling.

    But I doubt my Bavarians will be speaking Bavarian and will only be speaking German…and that likely with a Hamburg or Berlin accent…

    Whether a faction gets their own language and accent probably depends on how easy it would be to find a Voice Actor who can speak that paticular language or accent.

    How easy would a convincing Bavarian accent be to find in the UK?

    Bavarian is not just an accent or a dialect. It is classed as a language.Just like Friesian…

    Not to say there isn’t an accent and dialects…

    It isn’t so hard, UK or elsewhere…you just have to be smart enough to ask!

    Just like you should have been smart enough not to get me on the subject of Languages!

    Ooops.. well back to topic then.

    Seems like people really want to see Portugal and the Mughal Empire as the last two factions. Here's hoping CA delivers!

    I think if Lithuanian makes it in by some miracle (perhaps Polish-Lithuanian units respond in both languages, or there are several specific Lithuanian units? Who knows, although IIRC Polish was mostly used by the nobility in teh Commonwealth so I wouldn't be surprised if there was no love for us liths again), it's safe to say they'll make Courland use Lithuanian, since both languages are very similar (as far as I've encountered Latvian, anyway, feel free to smash me to pieces here if I'm wrong).

    Just so I contribute to the main point of the topic, I hope Sefevids make it in as the 12th playable factions, as I intend to play them and the more polish, the better. Although honestly, I'd be as satisfied with the Crimean Khanate, although it being playable would be... unexpected, methinks.

    While i believe, to keep quality 50 factions shouldnt be made playable, a good half should be IMO, any that has a quality aspect should be playable, only the really rough factions being unplayable....


    edit: at the twc people are pretty damn sure its maratha confederacy, and portugal looks almost impossible, so y'know...

    I wouldn't care if the campaign for Switzerland or something was completely impossible, I just want the option.

    Cool store, bro! I want some ham.
    No ham, pepsi.
    They make deli slices of frozen pepsi now? Awesome!
    You also need to purchase a small freezer for storage of your pepsi.
    It runs on batteries. You'll need a few.
    Uhh, I guess I won't have pepsi then. Do you have change for a twenty?

    It's a mute point now guys, I mean the 12 playable are in. You can hope for more in a expansion or another tw game but at moment it's 12.

    With a deadline crunch, demo demands, etc, I don't think they are going to suddenly add another 20 or 30 factions.

    Tuesday we find out who number 11 is :)
