do any other powers ever make it to the americas? Ive tried waiting some times but its obring and theyre too slow so I normally end up doing it or preparing several turns before. So has anyone seen a faction make it to the americas first?

I've never even seen another faction attempt it

I haven't actually played a campaign long enough for the America's to appear

Same I fear that due to the fact that the AI tends to build slower than the player it is the reason why tehy never go in America. I might nbe wrong here but that is my point of view.

yes they're to stupid to build naval drydocks and even if they get carracks (by that time the game is usually won)
they will use the carracks like any normal ship...

only difference is that the carrack is a "tough nut to crack"

I've never found the Americas all that exciting anyhow

.

Went over once as HRE and pounded their infantry into the dirt with 8 units of Gothic Knights charging their whole line. Open field of course and very very spectacular. Ultimately just the same as everything else though.

The only American's that I have seen is in the Kingdoms Campaign and they were easy to beat with the Spanish and gunpowder. Kind of a let down, you wait ages to get over there and when you do they are a pushover.
