help I'm trying to make the USA playable early by doing this

[Robertclive]

getting a late campaign mod and editing it with starpos

making the starting year 1700

making so everyone doesn't start out with technologies

and tadah, but making everybody not start out with techs is a long tedious process. I've tried copy and pasting the tech slot into other faction's tech slot but I can't get it to work.

Also the faction selection screen recognizes the date as 1700 but the date under the end turn button still has 1783

you should instead just make USA from emergent to playable in the early campaign, and give it regions, armies (not that hard) etc. there are tons of tutorials for that.
