I have to admit this is one of my worst fears about Empire. Given how CA have favoured the popular factions in the past (Romans in Rome for instance), I'm worried that they might get a little carried away and give the US really fancy units with little basis in fact.

I can certainly CA the Colonies getting rediculously superior frigates and probably one or two units of sniping skirmishers that will have your generals head off before he can give the first orders.

Of course since CA are English and Britain was pretty big at the time I can see the same thing happening with them, but at least Britian did historically take a huge section of the world.

It's a bit too early for the Thirteen Colonies to be a real superpower.
