I really want to play with this, but without leaders and colonists it is pretty weak. I know just how ahistorical this option is, but any competition in the New World for the Old World powers is welcome in my mind. I wouldn't mind seeing the Aztecs and the Incas with conquistadors/settlers. Just for the challenge.
Yeah, I am working on it, but it is hard to get it properly balanced (the US should not swallow up the eastern seaboard before the Europeans get there in force). I am going with the "Vinland" alternative history. The USA in 1492 will be an offspring of Scandinavian Vikings. (Not sure if I should rename it too...)

That makes sense. Might I suggest that if it simulates Vinland it be relocated to Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, or possibly the Hidson Bay area and have its known territory link it to Denmark/Norway rather than England?
I like that alternative too, but I might keep my current IGC so I can fiddle around with a USA that begins in the proper place...
I would like it if the USA swallowed up some of the Eastern Seaboard and maybe drove inland more. There's no challenge to these Europeans... For that matter an Aztec and Inca Empires with Colonial Capacity would make me happy, but now we're talking very far from historical.
Actually, it would be very interesting to have everything to the Mississippi River that is modern day US colonised for a scenario that starts in say 1700 (a revolution 76 years early), and see how the USA could influence world affairs.
I edited the Age of Revolutions file the other day so the US and England weren't at war, so I could kind of test that. The US was allied with Holland and Hessen (that Reformist stuff, you know). Holland went to war with Austria over something, so I sent a fleet and took over Flanders. And I was making a nice little profit off of it that allowed me to make a rather nice United States Navy. And no one felt like bothering me the rest of the game, so I just threw England out of America.
