So I thought once you've beaten the 'Road to Independence" you got use the US in the GC. Is this not true? cause I just beat it, and it gave me it's end cut scene and then went back to main menu.

Re: American campaign
I think a lot of people were confused by that. I sure as hell was. There are mods you can download to make the US playable (I think)

Episode 4 is a grand campaign, going from 1776 to 1825.
Re: American campaign

Re: American campaign
No it's 6 months. But because you already start in 1776, your technology tree is already advanced (which is your biggest concern i guess). And because you start on a different date than 1700, the map is a bit redrawn, and there are other factions and territoy changes. (Flanders for example is in hands of austria, what happened after the spaish succesion war), and for example sicily is now an independent nation.
And 50 years is the same as a short campaign with another faction. Although i have to admitt, i never play short campaigns. And i haven't tried the USa campaign yet. (i've already started it once, just to see)
Re: American campaign
50 years isn't much, but the goal of the campaign isn't to achieve world domination like the regular Grand Campaign. Rather, you need to expand towards a few specific territories plus hold a few extra. If I recall correctly, you must hold Pennsylvania (your capital), Florida, Texas, New Mexico, New France, Kaintuck Territory and Upper Louisiana. It's not intended to be a full 100-year campaign, mainly because it stretches what Empire: Total War is designed for. The U.S.A. is kind of shoe-horned in, so to speak.

Re: American campaign
When I played the USA "Grand Campaign" I was surprised at one point that it was almost over already and I had to rush (unsuccessfully) to get the rest of the territories, because I like to dither around slowly and steadily.

Download DMUC 6.0. You can play a Late Campaign as the US and you can make it 4 turns per year.
