The Dutch and the British where enemies and competitors at the time. I've seen it referred to most often as the East India company so that's why I use EIC. The British EIC dominated the the Caribbean so the the men in black we are dealing with are no doubt British. As a side note, the EIC was in no small part responsible for the American Revolution.

You're right.
Although I would like to see British and Dutch EITC.
hopefully if they ever think about adding these into the game the only difference will be that regular EITC are britsh EITC and then Dutch EITC have different uniforms.
No part of the revloution...

Well I may get you there.
The EITC(EIC) sold Tea to the colonists in the Boston Harbor much cheaper than the colonists who made Tea. And the colonists would run out of buisness if they sold it any cheaper so...the boston Tea party happened.
The Tea Act had caused this and one funny part is...if the EIC had never become a company then they never would have sold cheaper tea. Without that ment no boston tea party.
WHich ment....a small part in the start of the revolution.
It did have some effect on teh revolution but not enough to really help start it at all.
But hey, the boston tea party is famous in Americas history and who would want taht to get out of the history books?

But yes you're right.
They had nothing to do with the revolution. Wait I'm changing sides. What I ment to say is having affected the boston tea party. Oh I've confused myself now.
