Itt: NPCs of history

Yup. Their back story is very weak.

...

For the most part

Actually that's an optional side-quest, the PC is Australia

The Zulu were definitely player characters

naaah Timur, Mughals

Mate I must warn you, shit on us all you like, but don't shit on emus. they will get you.

Pretty much all of Southeast Asia

Mexico is the jannetty of latin america

So Australia has a late start unless you want to count aboriginals. Probably the strongest in the area though.
New Zealand is earlier but doesn't do too much aside from a few surrounding islands until around when Australia starts.
You could have expansion from Taiwan or wherever to everything but Australia for early game.
Papua is just cannibal tribes fighting each other.
Hawaii as the other, later Polynesian rep? They seem to be the next most relevant.
Then down the list of island groups for smaller things.
A lot of colonial vying later on.
Japan or some other colonial power(for some islands) as the late villain.
I did say for the most part.

>Vietnam beats the Chinese, French, and Americans
>Not a player nation
they're clearly just being led by a passive aggressive player who doesn't like expanding but absolutely refuses to give up and quit once lost

The correct answer is Armenia

All of eastern Europe except Russia
All Arab countries except Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Iraq
All east Asian countries except the China & Japan
Everything except the USA in the western hemisphere

Timur was an NPC boss.
Babur was a player character though.

MANKRIK'S WIFE THE COUNTRY

Store keeper NPC

to be more precise, it's the storekeeper that doesn't have anything you want in stock, but lets you sell them your stolen goods

Armenia is the XP farm mob.

>time is money, friend

Player countries:
>USA
that kid who bought all the dlc and op items using his dad's credit card
>China
competent but forgets to pause when he goes to take a shit and comes back to find out the mongols took over again
>UK
Will lie, cheat, and backstab anyone to get ahead. Never suffers any negative consequences
>France
playing on hard despite not knowing what the fuck they are doing, can't even stop rebels from taking over every few decades
>Germany
Autistic kid who spergs out every few decades and trys to fight the exact same war despite always losing
>Russia
Is currently drunk, built communism empire then blacked out. Woke up to find it had all collapsed because of the USA's OP bluejeans and rock music
>Japan
sneaky cunt who is pretending to be USA's buddy...for now...
>India
might as well be an NPC whoever is in charge is worse than the shitty AI would be
>Poland
despite always losing wars, somehow has managed to annex almost all of prussia and a good chunk of the soviet union

Literally everywhere but Europe minus the Balkans.

East Asia is just the final Bosses minus Japan that switched sides because it recognized they were on the losing team.

good times.>might as well be an NPC whoever is in charge is worse than the shitty AI would be
more like its a bunch of different people playing the same character.

>>Vanilla wow coming back
?!??

Ireland is an npc. Northern Ireland is a dlc ad on (still an npc). Scotland is unlocked after completing the English campaign.

America is the tutorial.

Every non-Jew is a NPC.

Eternal Anglo
>make alliance with UK

>shit I'm being attacked by T*rks
>oh thank fugg the Brits said they're coming
>don't come

THEY JUST FUCKING STOOD THERE AND DID NOTHING

Shit AI in this game to be honest.

Germans need to get nerfed. Two times the mods have tried too, just because the devs cant be arsed.
They're hauling arse with this new globalism update.

its time user.
we are going home.

Even if you could say the rest of Africa were NPC's, Rwanda is definitely a player nation.

Ethiopia, Rwanda, South Africa, Somalia, any other sub-saharan countries of import?

Hey screw you buddy.

Am I the only one that thinks that humans should be exterminated. I mean all humans not black people, not Muslims, not Asians, not white people no all humans need to be exterminated because humans are subhuman creatures in general

Some of the larger West African states maybe, like Songhai or Sokoto. Nigeria today is definitely a player.

pic related, /k/ sends its regards

Get in here and get red pilled on Rwanda.

Dahomey. Their King was heavily involved in the slave trade. They also butted heads with the French. The Ashanti of modern day Ghana.
