New game ~ questions and suggestions

[Anduin1]

So I completed a Prussian/German play through a few weeks ago and felt that itch to start up a new game. I do have one question regarding the countries/factions and that's which country has the most comprehensive unit list, 2nd, 3rd? I'm wondering because I don't want to be stuck using only Line infantry in late game while my enemies can build specialized units. Is there a list or a site that maybe details all the factions build list? I know that might be asking for much but who knows, maybe someone compiled something out there. Thanks

Check out Le Fusil Guide, it's most helpful on unit roster and stats.

in short though: GB is biggest. then france, prussia, ottomans, marahata all have a wide variety. then austria, spain, netherlands, russia, etc.

There's a whole thread about what GB is best in the game though if you want some funny reading.

Also, try going into custom battle, you'll be able to see the full roster of each faction that way.
