But this would mean new content. And we are already in 1500 with flamethrower. Do you think they will "go mad" and introduce maschine guns? Flamethower is actually an old weapon. Here is a 12th century image of one of the battles of the first Millennium  Chronologically Polish Hussars, Swiss Halberdiers and Conquistadors are probably the latest units of the game. A special unit of Roland also has a 16th century appearance. Yeah still surprised they decided to make the TANG DYNASTY of 600 AD as Tier 6, they'd be perfect t5s in my opinion but somehow they are t6 |

China is a huge market and since they for some reasons (unknown to me) haven't created a map of Medieval China for conquests nor was there any campaign, that was the only way to attract casual Chinese players touching their national pride a bit  But I firmly believe they could have boosted their income if some periods of history of China and India were covered. |

Someone told me that ET will not make any games that have China because of the law. The government won't allow their country to be invaded in any circumstances. |

As I understand this is true only about modern History. GCR was released not so long ago and it was possible to invade (and even to capture) cities controlled by Chinese troops. Besides, China of Medieval history is more a cultural term. Politically the names of Kingdoms were different (Western Xia, for example) and they ceased to exist long ago. So no-one should be offended, actually, I believe. |

I would love to play as Chinese empire in both historical campaign and conquest. |

Well, in previous "European wars" we've seen American War of Independence and American Civil War. In EW 6 1914 there were playable South American states such as Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, Cuba etc. In EW5 there were many campaigns outside Europe. It is a consequence of globalization following the flow of history,of course when the world is being extend by these European led to colonization because they wanted to "open culture to barbarian civilizations" don't ask me how is make any sense, it's just don't. The true is EA game focus in on one era in the history, The WC series and Ew6 1914 for modern era, The Ew6 1804 is just the "Napolion era" with in terms of history-is around post-Age of Discovery and pre-Victorian Era, same with the Medieval one and because of the globalizaion, the more later era the more likely you will see all of the world when compare to the Medieval era. Ew5 is a exception, it was build to carry all of history on the game itself, that why its name was just simply "Ew5: Empires". And at this point this was just better if EA do "Asian war : Medieval" or something like that after the Ew7 slow it update schedule, which mean it start to dead out (after it end the campaign), probably around the 3.X.X update, I hope EA do this update well, the conquest looks pretty promising |

So would Harald Hardrada be the best naval general now? Hardrada has an attack and defence bonus percentage item which makes him unique for f2p. He can hit more than 200 capability points and his unique unit is really good. Finally the real Hardrada is better than his fictional version: Beowulf  |

Finally the real Hardrada is better than his fictional version: Beowulf His item is behind a pay gate though I guess theyβll have to change it into F2P. For now you still have Basil which, together with Robert, is the best infantry marauder. |
