Any faction is fine, preferably Austria is possible.

Interesting victory conditions, they essentially must take away England's colonies in the Americas. No surprise though, I forgot that the French and Indian wars happen during this time frame.

That is awesome, now if only I could get Austria and it could be in English, that would rock

Wow, I guess you get what you ask for, if you ask a large enough group of people.

I had never seen this shot before, so well done quadalpha

So France will not start with Louisiana ?!

I believe, if you look at the map there is a lower and upper louisana. If you recall the area Napolean sold during the Louisana purchase, was actually originally spainish land. So it could be controlled by spain in this time frame.

They actually get a fair bit more of Canada then I thought. It's pretty intriguing. What I don't get is why is the only thing they hold in france paris?

Shouldn't they hold some of the smaller provinces or something?

I guess the trade theatres arn't shown, but I'd think they'd also own something in the Carribean.

Hm I'm not that familiar with the history of Louisiana but I thought it should have been french in 1700

Ah yes Wikipedia, never fail.

Yep, as you see in that article (I am not a historian)

the spainish stuff was much much further back

The first European explorers to visit Louisiana came in 1528. The Spanish expedition (led by Panfilo de Narváez) located the mouth of the Mississippi River. In 1541, Hernando de Soto's expedition crossed the region.

Maybe though since they do say

in 1699. By then the French had also built a small fort at the mouth of the Mississippi at a settlement they named La Balise (or La Balize), "seamark" in French

That there is only a french fort there, and not a entire french city.

Maybe protectorates don't show up on the owning faction's selection screen? If you look at the selection screen for Britain here (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...=113093&page=4), it doesn't show them as controlling the 13 colonies. Probably the same for France with Louisiana, and though Florida does show up when selecting Spain...
