The link gets you the site but it is the wrong oage (hope I'm clear) but just follow the link, go too feature the faction and read the last line of the small describsion

also if you click on the pictures under faction (the ones that come when you press faction) you cca see the faction name, aperently the "islamic egyps are in"

**sombralux** · May 10, 2006, 12:06 PM

Quite sure I read it somewhere. please correct me if im wrong, ill see if I can find a source

Where did you see the info about the Mayans The Dane? Cause i can't see it on that site.

EDIT: nvm saw where it said it, Ca did say a while ago they were looking int increasing the faction limit to 30 factions, the mamya could be one of the new factions.

**sombralux** · May 10, 2006, 12:09 PM

Straight out of FAQ.

"There will be 21 playable factions for custom battle and multiplayer. England, France, Scotland, Holy Roman Empire, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, Milan, Venice, Papal States, Sicily, Poland, Russia, Hungary, Byzantium, The Turks, Egypt, The Moors, The Mongols, The Tumurids, The Aztecs."

so I guesse he means Aztecs.

**Lusted** · May 10, 2006, 12:11 PM

No he doens't, its mentioned on the factions page on the new site, it says AZtecs and Maya, so im guessing they've increased the number of factions.

**sombralux** · May 10, 2006, 12:13 PM

Thats great news, though I dont understand why they keep adding factions to a continent not even part, or able to play a part in medieval history. But oh well, probably a matter of taste, or does anyone here fancy playing with half naked indians?

It could be a mistake though

(hopefully not) also somewhere on the site I found information that was about M:tw and not M2:tw..

now you can also preorder the game...

**The Dane** · May 10, 2006, 12:12 PM

If you click on "game info" then "factions", there is a short describsion just under the middel of the screen (under the pictures) that says: The campaign map is divided by a large number of factions including the English and French in Europe, the Egyptians and Moors in Africa, the Aztecs and Mayans in the New World, plus many more.

**BKB** · May 10, 2006, 12:21 PM

The game looks fantastic, and I really hope they have added the Mayans and more besides.

**Scarlett Letterman** · May 10, 2006, 01:32 PM

Just curious, if a modder wanted to rid of Spain so as to create Aragon and Castile say, would another faction have to then be eliminated?

If it's 21 faction limit, yet, if it's the promise they had of increasing it but perhaps not filling it out, then no.,

**The Mongol** · May 10, 2006, 03:31 PM

Awesome awesome awesome.

Can't wait to try out the Aztecs/Mayans.

**Sétanta** · May 10, 2006, 03:34 PM

I hope they remember that the Aztecs and Mayans are the secondary part of the game, and don't forget to work on the European factions more

**RexNecros** · May 10, 2006, 08:29 PM

The addition of a Maya faction is already pushing way too hard the boundaries of history IMHO. I know when can’t have a 100% historically accurate game because even ourselves will change history but the Maya at the time of the Spanish conquest weren’t an empire anymore. Probably the greatest city-state was either the Quiche or Kachickel; two strong cities but not powerful enough to be recon at the time.

**hsimoorb** · May 10, 2006, 08:34 PM

At least it's a step in the right direction. I was wondering how deep of an experience the trip to america was supposed to be when the whole continent was to be represented by just one faction. Also, here's to the extra faction that MTR gets to play with.

**Rex Armeniae** · May 13, 2006, 07:26 AM

No, I think its good that they've included Mayans.... It make America more fun, They'll probably be just like Aztecs just with another colour and maybe some different units. But I agree that they have to concentrate at Europe to and I hope they'll Include Aragon, Duchy of Lithuania and Lesser Armenia....
