Quoted from ES_Sandyman:
Germany and Britain aren't "northern countries"!? What do we need to add? Iceland?

Quoted from the CGM preview: During much of this period there was no such thing as Germany, so here they serve as an amalgam of Prussians, Austrians and others from the region. Anyway, enough bullshit. Tell me what you think will be the final two civilizations of Age of Empires 3! [This message has been edited by SilentScreams (edited 03-25-2005 @ 04:55 PM).]

I'm kinda at a loss here, what other southern, European civs from 1500-1800 were large enough to be in the game?
