Breakaway Colonies?

[sbrengard]

Please forgive me if this has been answered already ... I was unable to locate.

During a normal campaign, will colonies have the ability to split with thier contolling power?

[Sir Beane]

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.

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.

I'm hoping that the 13 Colonies -> United States script (if there is one) will still work if one chooses to edit the descr_strat and play as the 13 in the main GC. Choosing when, how, or if to break off will make the campaign pretty interesting.

I really hope it's the same deal for New Spain -> Mexico, or is New Spain even a seperate entity from Spain?

[A Very Super Market]

You do play as the 13 colonies in the GC.

CA said so.
