The United States is a nation that started to break away from the British Empire in 1775 because of the high taxes that the British were putting upon them because of the damage of the French and Indian War. Historically, the war with Britain ended in 1783, with the signing of the Treaty of Paris, which recognized the sovereignty of the United States.

The United States has good relations with France, Spain, and the United Provinces from the American Revolutionary War.

After the French and Indian Wars, the British government took an entirely reasonable line: The American colonists should pay taxes to contribute to the navy and army that helped defend them.

The United States is one of the playable factions in Empire: Total War and is available through completing the Road to Independence. The United States can also appear if a rebellion occurs, and succeeds, within (former) thirteen colony territory. The United States is the only emergent faction that is considered a major faction and also the only playable emergent faction without modding. Unlike all other faction campaigns, the American campaign begins in 1783-meaning that objectives must be completed much sooner.

Overview

The United States is a nation that started to break away from the British Empire in 1775 because of the high taxes that the British were putting upon them because of the damage of the French and Indian War. Historically, the war with Britain ended in 1783, with the signing of the Treaty of Paris, which recognized the sovereignty of the United States.

The United States has good relations with France, Spain, and the United Provinces from the American Revolutionary War. They expanded by taking the native nations, such as the Cherokee Nations and the Iroquois Confederacy. They also expanded by buying territories from Spain and France. In the War of 1812, they attempted to take-out the British merchant ships which were stopping trade between France and the United States. They also attempted to take some British-Canadian territories, and they had to break their truce with the Eastern Woodland natives, and declared war upon them (such as Tecumseh).

Starting Positions

The United States start with Georgia, the Carolinas, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, the Confederation of New England, and Maine. The United States starts in a strong position, surrounded by weak nations with potentially strong enemies far away. These factors mean that it is relatively easy for the United States to dominate the Americas in a short period of time.

This can be different in some situations, should spain hold much of the southern provinces of America and then destroyed (its europeans holdings all lost) then it has been known to emerge from Carolinas, however this is quite rare.

Details

The United States has a well-rounded army, with a couple of unique units such as the long riflemen (the American variant of riflemen) and minutemen (slightly superior militia). If the Elite Units of America pack has been purchased, they have access to quite a few unique units, most of them superior variants of line infantry or grenadiers. Most notably, the United States can train the Legion of the United States and the US Marines: unique troops that have some of the strengths of line infantry mixed in with some of the strengths of light infantry.
