    Default Only 5 starting factions

    Not sure if a thread has been made on this but I saw it on the .org and read it, that's too bad. I guess we will have to edit the ini to play what we want >_>

    Here's the link, http://www.cgonline.com/index.php?op...d=855&Itemid=1

    Oh well, atleast it's easy to edit but I just don't understand why they do this.

    I really wish they had eras back, that was a great concept.

    So that new player's first game will be a rich one, just like the romans in RTW.

    I suppose, but I've already experienced that and I just want to try them all.

    It could be for the better for me actually, I find myself switching factions so much because I like some chunk of one and something of another.

    it might be similar to the first days of RTW when you had to actually unlock factions by defeating them.

    at least i hope so....only five factions would suck big time.

    also, i agree. i sure hope CA includes the eras selection in this one.

    Of course you unlock the rest.
    CA already said that there is 17 playable factions.
    If you don't wanna waste 2 minutes playing around in the txt-file then just pick the easiest difficulty setting, pick short campaign and then pick the faction with the easiest objective.
    Maybe after 20 minutes you will have completed the objective and all factions are unlocked.

    And CA won't inclued era's.

    So it looks like Spain, France, HRE and England... TWICE!

    That's how badass England is, you have to play them twice!

    But seriously, probably just a placeholder or something.

    You guys are few days ate with the news. The campaign map picture presented was discussed on the last few pages of the "Mulsims underrepresented" thread. I don't want to copy & paste a dozen of posts, so just see for yourself.

    Well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me princess, the dialogue box is blocking one of them.

    Yikes.

    I'm curious as to where this Iran/Iraq crap came from. Their flags are much easier to differentiate than those of Venice/England in that screenshot. Besides, Burebista's pics were in the unfinished game, I thought it was maybe a placeholder. Chill out buddy.

    These fine gentlemen's have thanks to their consistent idiotic posts have earned their place on my ignore list: mrmouth, The Illusionist, motiv-8, mongrel, azoth, thorn777 and elfdude. If you want to join their honourable rank you just have to post idiotic posts and you will get there in no time.

    Over my extremely corpsy and rotten dead body.

    Scotlands colours are a dark blue/white
    Frances colours are a light blue/white

    Wich is good, cos dark blue is a trillion times more cool than light blue.
