About America's starting date....

[Gunner]

I just got a kinda crazy and interesting idea for what we could do with America once we're upgraded to Warlords.

At 1605 you would have America be born like usual now, but the catch is that it would start out as a vassal. The master would be whichever civ America takes the most pop points away from of the cities given to it at birth. This would most of the time be England. If there are no cities there by 1605 then the master would just default to England.

I think this would be very fun for the American player and also rather historically accurate. It would make playing as America a very unique experience. You would have to strive to get 50% of the land and pop of your master to get freedom, and it would happen in a much more natural way than just granting them independece automatically like now.

What do you guys think?

I like the idea. It would add on to the uniqueness of playing as America.

 

[UglyBoy]

Yeah I think that's a really good idea for America. Would be really unique to play as them.

It's definitely a good idea, for when Warlords comes around... and gives a real incentive to people to colonize America. After all, you can attach some serious benefits to having America as a vassal.

I like that idea.

It's a nice idea, for players to play America. But would it ever become indipendent in the hands of the AI ?

 

[McA123]

Most likely... The AI will be expanding as fast as or near to the speed that the player will.

 

[Barak]

I think this is a great idea and pretty accurate.

 

[Gunner]

Thanks everybody. Now we just need to wait till we get a Warlords version

 

[Elhoim]

Nice one, Gunner!

 

[Blasphemous]

Excellent thinking.
