Thirteen Colonies to USA

[TemplarArcher]

Ok, I really have wanted to play as the US since I bought this game but to my disappointment could not. I was happy to see the mod that allowed me to play as the thirteen colonies, but I want to take it a bit further. I want to essentially change the thirteen colonies units, flags, characters, etc. into the US but I want to keep the diplomatic relations as the thirteen colonies. I guess I want to have the 13 colonies still be that but with us units, buildings, and such. Is there any way to change the thirteen colonies specs in startpos to some American things while keeping the diplomatic relations the same?

Yes it is. Check this tutorial here. You don't have to do section 1 with startpos changes but you need 2 and 3. Have in mind that if you do it in this way in some point of the game when us will be randomly activated by the game you are going to have 2 US.

Another way is to use my mod Late Campaign where US is playable.
