The forum bot made me feel guilty for so much lurking and so little posting, but I assure it is because I'm merely hard at work. 
Semi-historical Scenario
Summary: Ratification of the Constitution of the United States of America has failed. The USA floats on a collision course toward eventual disaster in 1812 and squabbling between the states has choked westward expansion. Manifest destiny is dead, the wild frontier is on it's own.
Play as the Republic of Texas, Empire of Mexico, the Commonwealth of California or for the extra challenge one of the American Indian civs.
Map: I still need to make, beg, borrow or steal a western NA/US map. I am going to need a map that runs the Mississippi river on the right edge, the Canadian border on the top edge, Mexico city at the south edge and enough of the Pacific for naval activity.
Timespan: Roughly hundred years from the failure of the Constitution (~1788) to the beginning of the 20th century.
I'm working on a custom tech tree and units. I'm trying to showcase the gradual change from classic warfare using massed combatants to the eventual prevalence of light infantry.
I'm more of a code jockey/strategy designer than an artist, so if anyone has good suggestions for unit models or other stuff, feel free to post. I think I have the Texas leaderhead and that's about it.
Strap on your sixgun, partners.
