Is there no New World in SS?

I have been past 1400AD, have had the 'world is round event', have build my carracks and sent them to the edge of the map but they won't go further..is there something more I need to do in SS or is there no New World?

It was taken out to make more room towards the east, so the lack of a new world is the reason why you can see the Caspian Sea and play as the Khwarezmians.

You could have saved yourself some time and searched this, it has been brought up a lot already.

As TheP said, the new world was removed to make room for more important eastern areas, the map was also extended to include cities like Mecca. In gameplay terms, the new world was pretty inconsequential compared to the far eastern areas of the map.

No there aren't. Not for any official SS release.

sorry, i meant sugestions...

America will never make a comeback in the maincampaign - we welcome everyone to create a regional campaign if they want it back. Feels sensible to start any campaign with America near the discovery event in any case and not in 1100 - starting in 1100 and 1250 just turns America into wasted space for the average campaign.

timurids take a lot to appear too, if they appear, but we dont mind waiting for them ^^
i would love to have americas, and being able to get conquistadores...
aahhh the old times...

Waste of regions, factions and units. Not worth it for something only available in the very very late stages of the game and that the AI can't take advantage of.

Besides, historically, as you play with any faction, there's a quantum occurrence in the time-continuum that ends up in you killing Cristobal Columbus, so the American continent do not gets discovered until just the turn next of you finishing/quiting playing. It's all there, on the small letters of the SS spoiler/contract. XoD
