Year change help.

Hey, im new to empire modding and empire in general and need some help. I want to start a grand campaign in a way I cant figure out. Is it possible to play as an emerging faction (this case ireland), strating from 1700. I got a a startpos file for ireland and not only do i start in 1783 (which is probably normal for some countries, i just want to start 1700) but i can see the whole map, there is no fog of war, and the world is all in the midst of there empire, eg.Spanish armies fighting around in GB straight away. Is there any way to start a grand campaign like in med 2 where an emerging faction can start at the begginning. Is it just a simple matter of editing txt files?, or is there a mod out there that does this?
