Only 5 starting factions

[The Mongol]

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.

Or its just not finished yet, i remeber something about CA saying all factions will be playable...

and there wont be different eras,

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.

The other one is Venice

[Bella]

i just know it's going to be so much fun watching the modding community tear into this one

i expect to see that map size and province size double by january.

[Kanfoosh]

And why are there absolutely no eastern factions? screw Spain, France, the holy roman empire and "England" and England! i want to play as the Moors or Turkey damnit

Ah, I see, the faction shields just look really, really similar.

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.

Three Lions vs. some strange griffin like creature.. yeah right! I mean Iraq/Iran was is the difference?

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.

Scotland and France use a very similar color.

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.
