France or England at American Campaign

[Ataegina]

hey guys

i was thinking about how make this factions playable since beginning, and also giving them troops enough to conquer or give them a settlement ... any ideas ?

These 3 Stacks are heavy you could overrun the whole Majaempire with the English, but why play them at all?

its the same as the spanish just in blue or red

I'm sure some mods in the future would allow this, maybe even the other Europeans like the Portuguese who went to the Americas too.

[Ataegina]

well because i'm not fan of spain as faction, and also would be fun having a war in america between european faction =P

yes hellbent, portuguese deserve be present, they've arrived before england or france, they've discover brazil in 1500 AD !

Can't you just use the hotseat thing to let the AI run all the factions, then when they appear(whatever turn it is, I don't know), you'll be able to play as them? I've read on how to do this with the Mongols/Timiruids in the regular game, so it should work here. What the console commands are though... I know not!

[multiplayer]
playable = true
hotseat_turns = true
hotseat_scroll = false
hotseat_autoresolve_battles = 0
hotseat_disable_console = 0
hotseat_disable_papal_elections = 0
hotseat_save_prefs = 0
hotseat_update_ai_camera = 0
hotseat_validate_diplomacy = 1

and then it should just be 'control x' where x is the faction, from the console.

Will try it myself on a few, too - been ages since I played with that.

Actually the English and French are not the same as the Spanish.

The Spanish units are MUCH more powerful, more attack, defense, and hit points (heavy cav has 2 instead of 1, general has 3 instead of 2).

well naturaly spain have advantage, france and england have only start growing, later in the end of 16 century
