This mod of ETW is about the American colonization in the 17th century. At this time Spain has already establish a colonial status in central and south continent, and in Caribbean islands. Other European factions have strong bases in Caribbean and maintain some trade settlements in the coastline of North America.
Map: American theater of ETW (RTI 3).
Starting date: 1647 A.D.
European colonial factions:
1. British West Indies
2. Nova Gallia
3. Westindische Compagnie
4. Nya Sverige
5. Neu Kurland
6. New Spain
Native American Factions:
1. Innu
2. Ongwanonsionni
3. Ochetiyotipi Shakowin (Sioux)
4. Ani-Yunwiya
5. Wendat
Starting positions: European factions have a strong presence in Caribbean, in Central and in northern parts of South America. All of them, except New Spain, also maintain trade settlements in the cost line of North America. These settlements are presented as forts and they are protected by a stationed garrison. In the beginning, Europeans are in piece, have trade relations and some of them are allied with the natives that own the regions they have settled down. All North America and Newfoundland belongs to native Americans. Also in Caribbean strong Pirates are looking to loot passing trade ships.
Important note: Never live forts-settlements ungarrisoned or they will change ownership automatically.
Armies: Europeans can recruit armies in all regions they own or they'll conquer but there are limitations in the type and the numbers of units. Generally they can recruit unlimited units of settlers, militia, minutemen, native mercenaries, etc. to every region they own or conquer. Professional units can be recruited in limited numbers only in the starting regions and the major cities that may conquer like Boston, Pennsylvania or Quebec. Some units are excluded at all from the game. There was an effort to keep the necessary historicity, however not in the expense of the game enjoyment. Natives have limitations in the numbers of fire armed units. Also they cannot recruit artillery units.
Fleets: Unavailable naval units include the ships that are over 3rd rate (2nd, 1st, Heavy) and the steam ships. Pirates can recruit also strong fleets. All type of naval ships can be recruited in trading ports so there is no need to build naval ports.
