Breakaway Colonies?

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

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

I don't know, AskThePizzaGuy is a one man army. Even with one fleet Empire won't know what hit it...

It's the whole world too? Not just a "mini-map" focused on the NA east coast? If so, that's pretty awesome.

And if that's the case, for all we know, in "US mode" turns might count for 1/4 of a year instead of 1/2. If not, it's almost certainly moddable.

Yep it's the whole world (well as much of it as is in the Grand campaign anyway

).

You can't believe how relieving that is! I had the impression that it was a small tutorial campaign like Sons of Mars (though on a bit of a larger scale of course), which would have been incredibly lame.
