how do I get AI to invade the new world?

How do I encourage AI factions to go for the new world. I;ve set victory conditions so they should go there, Portugal has made some attempts to wander a ship with about 6 units in over, but they never land. Is there script that forces the AI to make an attempt?

Other then spawning them like it was done in the Americas add on? Don't think so. The distance is too great for the target to fall into the priority range.

I'm trying to get the pope to issue crusades to get there, by deleting crusades from the east and placing them in the new world, but I can't call a crusade there, even if I make them 80% islam territories. Is there a way around this?

I don't think thats a good idea and will work coz as Gig mentioned earlier it's very far.

As Gig Mentioned earlier make scripts for it and then add a random event with Pope in the Event pic making it a bit legit Crusadish type.

The region must be known for a crusade to be called. And the Aztecs are 'undiscovered'.

There is no script that can call crusades. I was referring to a random event that looks like a crusade fake one just to make a bit legit that's all.

The only way I know to have a chance is make Aztecs playable at campaign start, move the "World Is Round", "New World Discovered", and the actual finding the Aztecs event as the first three in the campaign script. After that everyone knows where they are BUT you and no other faction can get there until you have the facilities to build Carracks and such short of making the whole Atlantic shallow water.

I moved the aztecs to make them the white horde! and replaced them with rebels in Mexico. But I solved it by deleting the cruades resource on everything. The pope had to have a few settlements to crusade, so some new colonies in North America are crusade targets, and I also found by gifting spain and portugal some extra ships to play with, they wander over to America, so its very good news. I may have to weaken the rebel colonies though to let Spain get a foothold.
