Age of Imperialism split off
I've enjoyed playing AOI quite a bit. It’s a great mod and I have spent a bit of time playing Prussia, The United States and Texas in the 1815 scenario. I would like to suggest some modifications in the interest of history.
U.S. Changes:
1. Bayou should belong to America at the beginning of the game. New Orleans was the primary reason for the Louisiana Purchase. US Farmers used New Orleans as their shipping point for agricultural products. The land was formally transferred on 20 December 1803 some 13 years before the 1815 scenario begins so the US should have Bayou at the beginning of the scenario. You can reference the following web page for confirmation of theses facts:

2. The Manifest destiny event should give the US CB shields for all of the American West. In my game that event only gave me the territories of the Louisiana Purchase as National Territories. The US starts the game with these as national provinces so there is essentially no change invoked by the Manifest Destiny event.
Mexico-Texas Changes:
1. The American immigration event, which changes the culture of the Texas provinces, should be tweaked. Rio Grande, Pecos and El Paso should remain in the Iberian Culture group and their religion should remain Catholic. The immigration of Texans was initially limited to the provinces of Wichita, Concho and Matagorda. It is appropriate to change the culture of those provinces, but not the provinces on the Rio Grande. I would recommend adding additional settlers to the 3 eastern provinces most especially Wichita and Matagorda and very few settlers to Rio Grande, Pecos, El Paso and Llano Escatado. You can see details about Texas settlement patterns at the Texas Handbook online website:

2.Tejanos (Hispanic Texans) played and integral part of the Texas independence movement and were just as critical to its success as Anglo (Texian) Texans. For this reason the independent Texas Republic should be capable of controlling both Anglo and Iberian culture groups. See the following web link also from the Texas Handbook:

3. The Alamo event should provide Sam Houston as a military leader. You can see details about Houston at:

I also seem to be having issues with the 1337 scenario; it tells me that a country has no tag and I think it may mention an error in relation to a COT then the game crashes.
All in all this is a very fun mod and you have done a great job in putting it together.
