    Icon11 From a 280 turns campaign => an interesting USA mod

    Many of you propably know that I've been using the ESF editor to make hybrid startpos after hybrid startpos so I would change factions midgame. Using 4tpy I reached turn 280+.
    In the final push of my campaign, I decided to take USA and try to survive against the monster Persia I've created.

    Here is the situation.



    Then I thought to share the startpos and some changes I made with you.

    Here you can find all you need to know if you want to test your mettle against a really, really dangerous AI empire. "Against the Titan" is waiting for you.
    Sorry that I don't have the time to write more here. I have to play and try to save the world.


    UPDATE: Version 2 is out!

    Another series of campaigns, another campaign available for you!
    After 240 turns, this is the starting situation.
    Ideal for those that think the AI is too passive and that want a bigger challenge.

    Now with specialized victory requirements for USA.

    hold on im not understanding something so forgive me if this is a dumb question but after reading this post and the one on the submod section im beginning to think that you are able to control one faction when starting the game, and mid campaing you can change some files and begin with another faction?? similar to Europa Universalis?

    I don't have Europa Universalis, but yes.
    You don't edit some files, you edit 1 file with the esf editor. The things possible with ETW are indeed increadible. A pity it took us 2 1/2 years to bring it to shape and a pity that after 3 years the campaign map hasn't been cracked yet.

    I've bookmarked it because I'm asked that question every week or so.

    It takes less than 5 minutes and it's easy.

    Indeed. I'm aware of Fortes work.

    You're welcome too!
    Yes, the game is very addicting. I've clocked... thousands of hours. Since I've unistalled and installed steam a few times, I have lost count.
    It's over 1000 hours.

    I was thinking to implement a new startpos that has more pop and greater maxpop for smaller nations (with a script Taw made). What would you think? Would it break realism and all if Bahamas could reach 20000 population or something?

    no, it wouldnt be unrealitic id say.

    and it'd definately make minor nations better. especially Americas based ones that can be crippled by low population
