    Icon14 Why we do not go crazy about european factions.(my explanation)

    first i will answer with a question.

    Have yu ever played rome total war and being cetls or german or numidian and wanting to destroy the regular troops of rome?

    and some facts

    most colonies were created after 1800 except from british

    ottoman empire never realy destroyed by europeans in battle

    but throught diplomacy

    many non europeans and nonamerican caused serious problems to those wanted to colonise them (after 1800)

    by the era starts most europeans were just fighting the one against the other.

    We do not hate europeans factions just prefere to play first with no europeans because is a greater challenge to fight europeans with their owns powers and try to hold their lands (maybe victory condition).

    if natives are so weak as yu want then yu get bored.( as weaks was celts and numidians in rtw)

    and most colonial wars lasted for more than a year and after 1800 most of them happened
    siam ethiopia the state of sikhs persia and ottoman empire barbary states
    by the early 1800 (the games ends ) were prety live and kicking.

    Your post made zero sense.

    So you're saying during the timeframe of the game, most European nations were fighting amongst each other, not building colonial empires. Also that European powers will not be fun to play, but you seem to say that this is because they are crap, and then go on to say it's because they are too good.

    Linky link, please klicky klick, jo the greek:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...nt_territories

    See for yourself how many and at what year colonies where established.

    And by the way, I will go crazy when I will have the chance to play the Dutch but then again I will also go nuts when I get the chance to play the Iriquos or other native Americans.

    And I like cheese; I must be bleeding mad.

    I'm guessing someone never paid attention at school (referring to spelling, grammar and historical facts)

    You are saying no European factions had colonies prior to the 19th century? For one, the Spanish had colonies as early as the 1500's, soon followed by the Dutch, British, French in America. The East Indies were colonised by the European factions even earlier (this was the reason the Spanish set out to find a new trade route trough the west in the first place!)

    I would reccomend you read up on wikipedia or your history books, because you're just plain wrong.

    What are you trying to say? No-one willl want to play the European factions? And your comment about most colonies being created after 1800 is just plain wrong.

    Major colonization? All of America was colonized by 1800
    I don't really get your point in this thread, that European countries wont be interesting to play? I'll certainly enjoy playing with them.

    I won't mind playing as a european faction innitially, but i'll be playing most of my campaign in the new world/africa/india to get a feel for the new map rather than trying to concentrate on taking over europe, i'll just fortify the living hell out of the provinces i have in europe and build a massive fleet to stop anyone attacking me!

    Having said that, i hope to god the Mughals will be unlockable! if not ill play as the Ottomans second.
    Know that you shall die like whores and the cries of your writhings shall rise to please their lord, so before the sword, side with me in the slaughter....

    I dont think you have to explain "why we do not go crazy about European factions" Just dont play them. Problem solved. Good day.

    And it's his fault? You aren't forced to read or respond to his posts.

    as for your RTW question, i liked being the greeks and steamrolling everything.
    ahh i cant forget that one memorable battle with only 3 units of hoplites forming a triangle and one unit of cretan archers in the middle. egypt threw EVERYTHING at that little triangle, including elephants. funnest victory i've had to date.
