All factions are dying.

77y will keep Russia strong and healthy

[SlothFather]

Unless a giant sloth attacks the 77y that could happen. So Aztir make sure no sloths get close!

A few reason's:
- UK is the most well known faction, and they won the war (the others country's did as well, but if you ask UK is the first answer)

[close]

I'm sorry? Won the war?
_____

Also, I don't think that the community is really dying, it's spring, many players are busy with studies, exams and stuff like that.
Unless all this... concern is ever-lasting "grass was greener..." kind of thing.

And if anyone is eager to start up a russian regiment, give me a call, I can find and translate some information easily.

As for Prussia being boring... Bullshit, they have BLUE PANTS, you don't need anything else.

There are practically no sources on lesser known Russian and Austrian regiments besides names. Excluding famous regiments (Purcell, Pavloski)

I would have to say its because most of the people that play NW are English speaking or were at one point controlled by the English empire. So on a personal level i feel like i am fighting for my country. Not because its mine, but because its more mine than any other European country. And they speak English...just like me. It would be hard for me fighting as Prussian or Russian or especially Austria. Because i have no loyalty to them nor do i find them interesting and they don't and have never affected me. Russia Is awesome but i feel they were cheep. No Russian regiments were truly remembered for what they did. Sometimes i joke and i say "Lets make a Roleplay Russian regiment and change our names every time the line is destroyed in a LB" Because the Russian regiments Died and were never heard of again. Austria is going to be hella hard to revive because everyone with a big successful regiment has been around before the Austrian faction existed. France is the bad guys, and they lost.  I think it would take some big name pioneers to have people populate those factions to make them equal to the UK. The UK also has the independence of individual regiments. Every single regiment has a long, elite, individual name, and expansive history that you want to be apart of and can relate to.  Also they are all individualized with colors. Not so much as Almost every other country but you feel like a whole with some razzle dazzle on top.

You don't know about them and they are not "remembered" for you because you're probably not from, for example, Russia.
Same with long, smart-ass regimental names and traditions.

[Tango]

I wouldn't say UK is better, it is just because we have lots of British people playing NW and it is easier for them doing  a UK reg with UK ranks than lets say a Prussian reg with Prussian ranks. You know German players are more likely to be in German regiments and Russians in Russian regiments and so on.

What do expect from a dying game

[Deadpool]

UK's uniforms are by far the cewlest and apart from France it's the only normal faction.

Coolest uniforms is just an opinion.

And please explain how Austria, Prussia and Russia aren't normal?

They just aren't.

And the red uniforms instill fear in enemies.

[DaMonkey]

I've never been scared of the color red.

To be honest I think Britian has the worst uniforms in the game.

But then again please awnser my question.

I agree. They're so bland.

[Cop]

I think Austria is the most colorful faction in the game.

France right behind it. And due to this France is my favorite faction. Austria is too colorful for me, the weird orange on the grenzers and blue pants don't necessarily tickle my fancy. France has just the right amount of glamour in my opinion.

United Kingdom is one of the more frequently played factions, my guess due to the easier ranking system and easy regiment creation. Just take a number and create a name or look one up. I wouldn't go as far as saying it is bland, though.

Russia is cool, I love the grenadier unit. I've wished for a long time that the Russian Militia would get a bayonet so it could be a playable class in linebattles. I mean think about it; a regular line infantry regiment only has two logical options concerning what unit they play, simbirskiy or grenadiers. They don't want to select the Leib-Gvardii because of its shooting (due to it being guard class). Or even remove militia as a whole and scrap it into a new infantry unit. Just my thoughts though.

Prussia is another easy one to play (kind of like UK). The ranks are easy to understand and develop, yet when it comes to history people have issues again. As for that, just check the resources on the Regiment List thread. They have regiment name sources for every faction in the game along with factions that aren't even in the game. That is a good place to start.
