How can I edit the USA faction enable them to create a Navy?

[trustn1fx]

Hi Friends,

I played the American faction but its very annoying that I cannot create ships like USS Constitution which was built in 1794 even though the game goes to 1803. Is there a way to disable this?

Also, can I choose to not have an end-date? For example, can I make the game end in 1900?

Thank you!

You need to research the technology Naval Act.
If you want to be able to build ships from the start you have to go into the IS DB.pack file and go to the "usa_unit_required_technology_junctions" and delete entries concerning the "usa_naval_naval_act".

Yes you can if you go into the startpos and change the end-date in the victory conditions.
