I tremble at the thought. Right now I'm focused on getting my hands on Fallout 3...just have to scrounge up a little money.

I rented it (first time doing so for a Fallout), not my style of gaming really.

Indeed. I bought it, played for an hour and a half and set it back down last week. Haven't picked it back up yet.

Great Britain
France
Prussia
Spain
Portugal
Italy
Russia
Ottoman Empire
Mughals
Native Indians?
Rebels?
USA, if colonies aren't happy with Britain [said on Wiki, so eh]

That adds some things..

Poland/Lithuania
Austria-Hungary [I thought they would be in, but I'm not sure]
Venice
Papal States
Sicily, not Italy
Denmark
Maybe it'll add Germany as a whole, instead of Prussia and the smaller states.

They'll probably just add it as Prussia. I think playing as the Cherokee nation, or something along those lines, would be incredibly cool. Imagine France's reaction as they storm Normandy.

I was reading some reviews. Some are glowing, others make teh game sound shittier than Shogun. I really dn't know if I should buy it :? It's cheaper on Amazon, but i still don't want to dish 30 something + plus tax on a game that will blow

I bought it the day it came out..

It is actually really good.. It's just got so much potential and it was a rushed release (most probably by SEGA).. And the game has CTD's (Crash to Desktops), and numerous bugs.

And CA are bringing out patches for it very quickly (already had ~4 and it's been out for 3 weeks), so that's a good sign that it should be fixed very soon.. Hopefully.
