American Revolution

Forgive me if this subject has alread been asked and answered in other thread

The Several games I've played in the Vanella version had American winning its independence in the early 1700's. I don't think this is realistic, because the causation issues developed after the Seven Years or French and Indian War the primary cause being over taxation. Will Empire Realism include a realistic event stream?

this one is very problematic - in ETW American Revolution is triggered by unrest in few core provinces in America- problem is, if Natives take them from 13 colonies, they will rebel and turn into USA... there is nothing we can do about it I'm afraid. Only possible solution if you play as British is - help 13 Colonies to keep their provinces.. you have to play more aggressive role in North American Theater...

Right, a main bugger in ETW is this american continent scenario (those hardcodes).

What JaM says, while in the last ER versions, the global balancing has been tweaked, so that Natives will have more issues to generate easily into USA. Don't know if this is still shaped in this way. Correct is though, that one should play the English to help the Colonies keeping their stage, it's a challenge there for the English player.

The results of the American Revolution were the separation of the 13 colonies from Britian and the formation of thse colonies into the United States of America. The fact that the colonists achieved that encouraged French revolutionaries in their own repudiation of monarchy.
