Ho hum
The slaves, not to be confused with the Slavs, are a faction I haven't encountered in the game, so far. Were on the map do the slaves appear?
Even though the words "slave" and "Slav" are thought to be related (many of the European peoples took their slaves from eastern Europe), I don't think that means we should automatically put them in the east European group, although that may very well be what we end up doing for now. First I need someone to tell me where on the map the slaves appear as a faction. Can they appear anywhere on the map?
As for the Saxons, yes, they were a Germanic tribe, but hey, so were the Normans, and pretty much all of the peoples who colonized what we call England. I don't know if having the Saxons "babbling happily about the Reich" would be such a good idea. Not that it matters much, I mean, the tutorial campaign is over pretty quickly, after all.
The aztecs can be separated from the mongols, but what language/accent would you rather have them speak? Mediterranean broken English?
