Just wondering what nations/duchies/family lines/whatever will be playable.

thanks

Playable - Independent Christian feudal states.

Not playable - Christian merchant republics, Islamic states

Hmmm... so Pagans like the Polabian Slavs, Letts, Prussians, and Lithuanians aren't playable?

No.

The only pagans that will be playable is the Swedes as I can understand it. But on the other hand the Christianization was half-completed in 1066...

Given the more complicated vassal system, what counts as independent?

And I can assure you that there are a lot of Norwegian crusaders who are eager to finish the job and let the heathen swedes howl...

Would any of the Nordic countries be playable then...
I assume that a lot of people in Scandinavia was heathen, the Kings may have adopted the new faith but I doubt that the majority of the people had.
Maybe there should be a greater chance for rebels and upheavals in Scandinavia?

Thanks for all the responses, although finding out that Venice and Genoa (merchant republics I assume) aren't playable is a little disappointing. I'm still definately buying this game!

No Mongol Hordes?

 

[unmerged(5630)]

Mongol Hordes will probably be in-game when they invade, but not playable

 

[unmerged(5206)]

Friesland won't be playable either I suppose.

I take it Sweden will be playable then

btw - Greven: We have a discussion in the sticky "Sovereign dynasties" thread about where to draw the line... Could you give a comment?
