Unless you install mod, you can only play U.S in the last section of the independence road

If you want to know about playing as the United States with mods, here are my suggestions. You can play as the United States (or the Thirteen Colonies, or both) in the Grand Campaign with any one of several mods such as Empire Total Factions, Sturm und Drang, The American Revolution, Early American Revolution, These United Colonies and probably others.

Some mods (such as DarthMod, which unlocks the Thirteen Colonies, if I remember correctly) make a lot of changes to game-play, which you might or might not like. Other mods offer relatively unmodified game-play, such as Empire Total Factions.

You might want to add a unit pack, such as the Additional Units Mod (AUM) or the Minor and Emergent Factions Unit Pack. (For example, if you take regions in Europe, then the US can recruit very few units there unless you have a unit pack.) For example, I have thoroughly enjoyed campaigns using Empire Total Factions together with the AUM or the Minor and Emergent Factions Unit Pack. (I do not recommend using two or more big unit packs together in the same campaign. If you do this, then multiple units packs can cause you to exceed the maximum number of recruitable units in major cities. If that happens, then it becomes impossible to recruit units in those cities, the recruitment panel becomes blank).

You can find these mods on the Total War Center web site, in the Empire Total War Hosted Mods area (for Empire Total Factions, Sturm und Drang and The American Revolution - some of these are in the StartPos Mods sub-forum of Hosted Mods) and the Modifications area (for the others).

Here are links, if you are interested:-

- Unit Packs (some mods above - Sturm und Drang and The American Revolution - include unit packs, so you would not need an additional unit pack. Early American Revolution includes an optional unit pack, but you could use one of the following packs instead):

Additional Unit Mod: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?250655-Additional-Units-Mod-Empire-(AUM-EMP)-3-5-updated-10-12-16

If you use the Additional Unit Mod, then you also need this mod so that unit names appear: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?340442-Unit-Pack-Compatibility-Project-Empire-(UPC-EMP)-English-German-French-Spanish-Italian-updated-3-12-16

An alternative option is the Minor and Emergent Factions Unit Pack: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?736314-Minor-amp-Emergent-Factions-Unit-Pack-v1-0-July-2016

There also a Regiments of the American Revolutionary War 1775-1783 mod: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?709356-Regiments-of-American-Revolutionary-War-1775-1783 (I believe that current versions only allow players to use the units in custom battles, not in the campaign, alhtough a future version will allow us to use the units in the campaign.)

(If you use a unit pack, I do not recommend using more than one in the same campaign (unless they only unlock a small number of units or unlock different types of units, such as a pack for land units and a pack for ships). Combining unit packs can cause a problem where we exceed the maximum number of units which can be recruited in a city. When that happens, the recruitment panel in that city goes blank - we cannot recruit units there.)

Good luck!

Thank you for your answers guys. It has turned out that Kumelowski solved my problem... I was just to dumb to realize that there was another chapter after the war of independence :steamfacepalm:
But thank you Alwyn for the tips on modding I´ll check them out sometime
