Yes. The colonies in North America already start partially seperate from their controlling factions as they are Protectorates.
The USA, Mexico and possibly others are emergent factions created when a colony revolts. :2thumbsup:
Do you have any idea if the Indian colonies would be able to be protectorates? And would any colonies in North America have to be protectorates? Or could the colonizer be able to have territories under direct control?
Apparently Britain can take direct control of its NA protectorate if it drives out France and the Cherokee. Theres been no word on whether Indian colonies are protectorates, probably not though.Quote:

I really hope it's the same deal for New Spain -> Mexico, or is New Spain even a seperate entity from Spain?
You do play as the 13 colonies in the GC.
CA said so.
I always assumed that you could before but I've read things that seem to discount that. I guess we'll have to see. At any rate, descr_strat is always there waiting to be molested.
I think they announced somewhere that completing the Road to Independance campaign unlocks you Amis.
It just opens up a tutorial campaign about the American Revolution, totally seperate from the main GC.
New Spain seem to exist at the start.
Completing the Road to Independance dumps you in the main campain playing as America, with about 30 years to go before the game ends.
I guess sixty turns isn't bad, espically when you get the other 140 turns as scripted in depth campaign events.
Still would have been nice to have some more time playing around till the end.
Though I think the devs said at end you can keep playing, but the game just never goes beyond 1799.
At least that's what i'm hoping for :2thumbsup:
Thirteen Colonies. One Man and his fight to be the fastest of them all...This summer, AskThePizzaGuy in....Empire: Total Rush. Watch as he has thirty years to take every province in the playable world. See exploits, cunning moves and plain ballsy attitude as one man throws it all on the line for virtual glory.
Yea considering at the start you probably only have one fleet, some exploits indeed are going to be needed :laugh4:
I don't know, AskThePizzaGuy is a one man army. Even with one fleet Empire won't know what hit it...Quote:

Yep it's the whole world (well as much of it as is in the Grand campaign anyway :2thumbsup:).Quote:
