Historical or not, that flag's on several screenshots. I believe a German nation of some kind will be in.

Hwll it should have more racism! This is the conquest of the Americas there should be genocide and slavery!

it's like that: ottomans in Cossacks for example look like some camel riding arabs. that's racism. now they do a Prussian nation for AoE3 and call it Germans. that's racism. they just merge some independent nations (including mine) and give it a sterotypical look just to please some dumb kiddies that don't know better. I also once noticed that in RoN the ottoman special units look like indians (and much more). like merging incas, mayas, aztecs, cherokee and label it "indians" or natives....
and the question remains, why shoudl there be Germans in a discvoery of america game? it makes perfectly no sense....

How do you know they merge several German nations together and call
it Prussia? Perhaps they'll make a Prussian civ. and call it "Prussia".
I also once noticed that in RoN the ottoman special units look like
indians (and much more). like merging incas, mayas, aztecs, cherokee
and label it "indians" or natives....

[nitpick]Ottomans have the same building set as Nubians, Bantu and
Egyptians. Persians have the same set as Indians. Incas, Mayas and
Aztecs share a building set. There are no Cherokee in RoN, but Lakotha
and Iroquois, who also share a building set.[/nitpick]
and the question remains, why shoudl there be Germans in a discvoery of america game? it makes perfectly no sense.... |
I agree with that.

Perhaps because there will be a 7 Years' War and since Prussia was one
of the heaviets contestants of the 7 Years' War in Europe they feel
they have to have a Prussia.

Although I won't count on it being in, Sweden did have a colony in the New World, named New Sweden ( Delaware). Anyway, in that Cossacks game they added Germany and Russia instead, and I won't doubt they'll do something similar here. Sales above all.

If there will be a revolutionary campaign they'll probably include the
USA, Mexico, Gran Colombia and Brazil. But on the other hand it will be
strange if Mexico and Spain colonize America in the same time.
If there will be no independent American countries I hope the other 5
countries will be Portugal, the Netherlands, Russia, Sweden and
Denmark. If Prussia or Italy or so will be included I hope the game
will be easily moddable.

btu Prussia had no troops fightign in America, and apparently this will focus on America...
and i don't think ES will have a Prussian civilization but rather name them Germans. I'm almost certain on that.

I object to Russia (that is, if it puts out better suited nations) of the same reason I objected to it in that Cossacks game - they came late, erected some fur trading posts and had little to none inteference or contact with the other European powers on the continent.
