This brings up a good point, I wonder which faction is going to be the 'standard' one. like England in M2TW and Julii on RTW. Anyway, I would very much like to see the 13 Colonies or India, they're entirely new and it would be a great opportunity to introduce new units and building structures, as well as resources.

I voted Prussia. This is their first appearance in a TW game and their infantry achieved legendary status in this era. What better way to preview Linear battle? Deutchland Uber Alles!

I voted France. Vive le Roi!
Probably. Past standard factions are featured on the front cover of the game e.g. Julii for Rome, English king for Medieval II. Empire: TW seems to have a multi front cover thingy going on depending on which country the game is sold in.
Examples:
Britain

Germany

Portugal!!! :P
But if its Prussia or Great Britain thats fine....

Spain, Sweden or Prussia in descending order of desire. Three factions which I'm (quite randomly, really) itching to play in ETW...

If you look at the men in the background closely, you'll see that in fact, the cover depicts what seems to be a Prussian soldier running from some redcoats with captured flags...

I'm just glad that from what I've seen the Polish uniforms will be dark red, and we'll probably be getting the Polish version here in Lithuania (it was Poland-Lithuania, although you couldn't really tell from the faction preview...), so it won't be that noticeable if that someone gets sloppy again and forgets to recolor.
I put my vote on Sweden. I do look forward playing as the Swedes, since this is the first time "my" country appears in a TW game, also it will be interesting playing a TW game with at least some focus on northern Europe.
This is a huge error on my part.
Just after voting I realised that I didnt want to spoil the game. In demos I simply want to test the basic without even touching the real deal. This means that the demo hopefully contains some insignificant and uninteresting country... like Great Brittain. Yes, that should do it.
I voted for all of them :)
Gogo United Provinces
My Balloons:
Playing as the Republiek der Zeven Verenigde Nederlanden
The actual UP flag
I voted Great Britain and France. I can definetely see a demo for the game involving the two countries. I don't exactly know how though. Maybe toss in United Provinces too.
I dunno about faction but a recreation of the Infamous Shogun demo mission (but with Guns!) would be way cool
Needs something like a 2vs3 ship battle too.
maybe those guys should be doing something more useful...
definetley 13 colonies. I really want to play as either them or france, idk they both seem cool.
I'm looking forward to see the demo have a land battle between the some obscure German states, and a sea battle between two obsure native American tribes.
The demo legion grows
Okay, on another note....
I voted Prussia but I'd like to play Austria. I'd like to see cannons or some interesting calvary, then again I'd take anything long as I get.
DEMO
Awesome sig, I have one word, DEMO
I think it's almost certain we will get a 13 Colonies v British battle, as that seems to have been in nearly every trailer, and alot of screenshots and wall papers.
I'd like to see something with a little more culture difference to though, like maybe Ottomans vs a Euro faction or Euro's vs India Faction type thing.
All of this, and more...will be brought to you by
DEMO
New lords, new laws
No path of flowers leads to glory, mine is paved with blood and gore
Great Britain vs France.
You won't want to give away too much in the demo, but a nice open plains battle between the old foes will whet our appetite, shut us up and allow us to see how the new 'ranged' fighting works.
The game will then still have shiney new naval combat, new agents, new provinces, urban fighting, and politics for the final few weeks of arguing.
Plus if something glaring is wrong CA can still make minor adjustments.
I want a Sea Battle of Great Britain vs. Spain. Pretty much the ordinary thing one should expect.
And then of course the Land Battle between Prussia and India! Yeah, I just want to see it!

It was only after I cast my vote for the random, undheard of faction (the Cree, perhaps?) did I realize I lost my opportunity to vote for all of the factions. Oh, the shame!!!! Shame has been inflicted upon a defeated king!!!
