Factions

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Gameplay

We have so many different factions and most of them have their own warfare style.
European factions will fight with Pikes and Muskets, it’s totally different than when you play with Samurais, Eagle Warriors or African warriors.

The goals depending on which faction you chose aren’t the same. If you play with Spain or Ottomans, you will probably aim at World domination.
But if you play with an American of African nation, the most important will be first to survive.

Scripts, events and

- Factions may colonize randomly overseas. Off course, traditional colonizers will have higher chances.
- All new world factions can reform their army if they win battles against westerners. Some factions have access to stronger units than others.
- If a faction holds critical provinces or a combination of provinces, they get extra money per turn from commerce. Ex: Holding the Cape or Havana generates extra income.
- Factions may reemerge
- Several historic events
- Colonial factions (Portugal. Spain, France, etc.) need to build ports in order to have access to basic units overseas.
- Some special native units can be recruited by colonial powers overseas. For example, Portugal can recruit Tupi warriors, African Gunners, etc. in Goa (India).

Interesting mod but in my opinion u should improve the campain map

**falcom4ever** · May 27, 2017, 10:09 PM

Quite agree with that. Aeginster was going to make a new one, but he was busy at that time and the mod died in the meantime.

Unfortunately this is the best I can do myself. If someone is willing to create a better one, feel free to do so

You have had a good job and i'm not a modder so i can't do it. The other way is asking permission to use map from mod as eras total War or mod or another with global map.

I don't know if eras mod upgraded it's map in the meantime, but when I tried it few years ago it was worse than mine in my opinion (that why I created this one).

The best would have been that someone creates a fresh new campaign map taking in consideration present factions, etc.

Anyway, the campaign map could have been better, but it doesn't stop having fun with the mod.
