It'll probably be like Rome, we just have to unlock the unplayable factions.

[Lusted]

Exactly my thoughts, there is likely to be more than 16, just the rest will not be playable.

And some very nice looking pics.

She says 17 playable factions in the video. It wouldn't be like a game developer to undersell their game, i'm betting it will be 17 including unlockable factions, but there may be more they never intend to have as playable.

im sure a bit of modding will clear that up athough somewhere I swear i saw that the faction limit maybe 21, ill have a look for the source!

I remember reading that they were thinking of increasing the faction limit to 30. We probably won't know for a while. I'm sure that if they can get away with it they won't bother increasing the number of factions.

nice one, streaming now cheers prom

Whilst they mentioned that they were thinking of raising the hardcoded limit from 21 to 30, I dont believe they ever said that M2TW was going to utilise the full amount of faction slots. There will definately be more than 17 factions as we know the papacy will be no playable, as i would think will the american factions. Then we will see how many more factions can be added once the game is released.

i thought the first thing people would knowtice is she said improved A.i ( i know they said already CA will improve it but that was the thing ppl were moaning most about )

Both pages are failing to load with me- I take it that it's going ok with everyone else?

[Sir Robin]

The links work okay for me.

[Lord Tomyris]

Ahh, my bad- or rather, my connection's- they're OK now!

[God-Emperor of Mankind]

Anyone noticed that the arrows are black ??

[malarkey]

what simple thing i like about the game is that in most of the screens and videos it just looks darker. i know that weathr wise it would be no different to it is today (trying not to get scientific) but just that it was a dark period in europe and the game looks darker overall is something i quite like.

[MizuTahanaman]

Well, nice to hear that the A.I. is going to be improved upon but I might add that if the A.I. units simply moved away from towers pelting them arrows rather than standing there getting slaughtered would be an A.I. "improvement", fact of the matter is we will have to wait for the game to be released before we as consumers get a chance to see exactly how has the A.I. improved- demo will tell us perhaps a little if any how this has been accomplished. But if the demo is anything like RTW then we wont see the A.I. "improvements" until the game is released as the RTW demo was scripted.
I hope for the best as I would like to see a greatly improved upon A.I.

Well they never said they would have 30 factions just said they would increase the faction limit to 30. We will have to get the game to see if that is true.

Anybody else want to punch that presenter woman in the face?

CA say 17 playable factions, then theres going to be 17 playable right out the box (barring any unlocks like in rome).

They wouldnt say that factions that are Not playable without modding are playable becuase that would be wrong and just **** off a lot of people who bought the game and didnt get what was advertised.

After all, how many people who actualy buy a game end up using mods?

Not the majority anyway.
