The Swiss Confederation was one of a number of cancelled factions from Empire: Total War.
Overview
The faction's starting position would have been in the Alpine region of Europe, however, along with the faction's cancellation the region was also removed and replaced by 'wilderness'. The flag used by the faction is the historical flag of the pre-Napoleonic Swiss Confederation, using a thinner greek cross than the one used today. However the flag proportion is incorrect with the ratio being historically 1:1 rather than 2:3. In terms of units available, the faction is able to recruit the typical European infantry, cavalry & artillary units.
Other factors are not known, for example religion, as the Old Swiss Confederation was historically a mixture of protestant and catholic 'cantons' which led to several internal conflicts over it's history. It is however assumed that Catholicism would have been used as the state religion in-game.
