Hello,

Ive got SS 6.1
Cant find America, is it not conquerable in Stainless Steel?

Regards
Romaion

America has been omitted in SS, as the map space as been used to provide a larger east. The game is at max for settlements and factions, by what I understand there is generally no wish to include the Americas.

thaks for your quick reply,
hmm... i liked to invade America, in vanilla,

Oke, but SS is still great

I felt the same but I think they made the better choice.

As do I. The extra map in the east is brilliant, I'd looking forward to Georgia and the Timurids reentering the fray to balance out the east though.

I also think the modders made a good choice, I never even went to America in vanilla, and I always wanted the Caspian Sea as an extra trade point.

And besides, the Khwarezmian Empire is one of my favourite factions!

I still have fond memories of the Invasion of the Americas as spain. I also remember hiding there from the scary Timurids untill they invaded. This was with the custom campaign mod where you can get to the Americas very early with a simple cog. Not realistic but fun non the less.

I got a question and think thats the right spot to put it.

America is not accessible, but is it possible for Spain and Portugal to recrute Conquistadors? I really liked them in vanilla but thought its sad that you could only use thme in Americas.

They are recruitable when event "World is round" has been activated. This happens in 1400-1408 AD.
To recruit Conquistadores you need Earl's Stables and to recruit Dismounted Conquistadores you must have Barracks or Armoury.

However they are inferior to sword and buckler men....

Hmpfff ... all this nonsense about modders and space and decisions. America is not in the game because Istvan simply doesn't want it to be.

Well said soldier, the emperor of cat-kind is pleased.

Well I have to say that I am more interested about conquering America, killing their native people and robbing the lands than living in dessert..

That is what General Custer said, look what happened to him!

Which dessert would your prefer? Mississippi Mud Pie, Banoffi Cream Pie, Pecan Pie?

**Finlander** · September 07, 2009, 09:08 AM

Hmm.. Pecan Pie sounds good, it think..

-HEY! WHat are you hinting?

And Americas aren't conquerable, because they are reachable just in late game and American provinces take too much space (there's a region limit so they took Americas away and added regions to Europe and Asia).

I take it you are joking about not knowing about General George Custer, if you weren't have a look at this:

It just tickled me that you would rather live in a dessert
