Empire: Total War Message Board  

So, I was playing as France and lo and behold the Revolution happens, which got me thinking, is there a way of creating a rebellion in the New World so that you can end up as the US? I've tried playing as the thirteen colonies and inciting rebellion, and that does indeed create American rebels, it just doesn't give you the opportunity to play as them. Can you do it as Great Britain, by re-annexing the 13 Colonies via Mission then inciting rebellion? Or am I stuck playing Road to Independence to get my "U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!" on?

Only time ive seen United States in real campaign is when you destroy G. Britain, in Europe.

i said this in another post that looking at the files briefly, it is possible, but a lot of things would have to be changed along with the getting rid of the Thirteen Colonies and completely replacing them with the US

I always try to have a revolution as soon as possible because you can conquer pretty much everyone, have full taxes and never worry about revolts.
