No point on Unlocking minor Factions

[Espodude]

Hey guys, well i was very dissapointed yesterday. I unlocked all the factions but i find this very useless, since the factions you unlocked dont have a scholar building to do research and you cant change the Government type. Ive been playing with the Italian states, it was fun for a while but after taking 3 new areas i still couldnt do research which i found very stupid, then when i tried to change the government from Total monarchy to a Republic, once i took over the city after going with the rebels side, the game crashes, so again my point is there really is no point on playing with the unlocked factions, its a waste of time until someone makes a mod for it.

You can always tear down a factory or the like and replace it with a college.

How is that at all on topic?

He is playing as minor factions which have been unlocked by modders, not CA, and until modders create really good unlocks, which require alot of work because there are so many files, minors are not fun.

Or you could use gentlemen to steal the research you need. I have unlocked the minors but haven't really played them. To busy playing Prussia and GB.


And doing uni work.

Every minor faction is capable of research/churches/etc.

Some are less worth playing though (Morocco) because they have virtually no units (no unique one's anyway, and Morocco only has 3-4 units regardless of upgrades), and like you said, government reform results in a crash.

i reformed the cherokee nations to a republic... so i dunno about crashing..

[malaphusis]

The only reason I would really recommend not playing some minor factions, like Denmark and Morocco, is that their capitals can't construct Admiralty buildings, which makes no sense. Could someone mod that?

Perhaps, i've been requesting the same thing - and spend some time trying to figure it out myself.

Fenix, what does AOR mean?

Fenix, what does AOR mean?

AOR = Area of Recruitment

This means that certain units can only be trained in certain regions.

err, speak for yourself then.

I've had a hell of a time playing as georgia.. well at least for the few turns..
this game is so crappy that even on hard and with impossible factions you generally win by 1715

I reformed Hannover without a crash

All you have to do is take over a neighbor and make one of their towns into a school or as been said make one of your own, Whats the big deal?


These factions were never meant to be playable, just be happy you can play as them at all!

And the only factions in the game that I think are unplayable is any emergent faction and the Pirates as they get only 1 unit, you can check your tech tree you can see that every other faction does get more units down the road, Moroco gets something like 7 units later on though some are AOR or shared with the Barbary Pirates.

Is there a way to be Britain in the American campaign?

Download the "Late Campaign." It'll replace your original Grand Campaign, but it's identical to Road to Independence Episode IV, except all nations with territory are playable.

Were can I find it?

Area of recruitment, means you can recruit some Muslim Swordsmen in Morocco but not Spain.

[Sorkenlol]

You start with a church as the italian states, just raze it and build a school.

Has anyone tried playing as Georgia or Knights of St. John? I tried but the game kept crashing! Very frustrating.
