Play as USA

[#kitatemanahok]

Do i need to own Conquest of Paradise DLC to be able to form and play as USA in early 1500 or 1600?

Do you mean through a mod?

Conquest of Paradise makes it much easier to form the USA, because it allows you to play as a colonial nation. Otherwise you would have to move your capital[eu4.paradoxwikis.com] to a province in Colonial Eastern America to form the USA[eu4.paradoxwikis.com]

You don't need any DLC or mods to do it.
All requirements are here.[eu4.paradoxwikis.com]
Just colonise the Eastern America colonial region and form a colonial nation.
In your subject interactions release the nation and choose to play as them,

Playing as a colonial nation when you release them is a feature of the Conquest of Paradise DLC.

A lot of DLC features of this game are included in the base game now, i thought (and still sure) this is one of them. I could be wrong and i'll check later.

Can't you play as any nation on a save file? Just load it and click the nation you want to change to

Playing as a colonial nation that way also requires the Conquest of Paradise DLC.

I really wish people would try out their suggestions before posting them

Is it really possible to form USA by 1600?

[Ashling]

I'd guess so, I think the only requirement that's time specific is adm tech 10 which the wiki tells me is achievable in 1531.
So if you can move your capital to America and you can colonize 10 provinces in Eastern America before 1600s then I don't see why not.

In my multiplayer save files, i play as the GBR and already owm pretty much all of colonial eastern america to florida, however when i release the colonial nation 'thirteen colonies' it transform into Florida not USA.


Do i need to move my capital from London to One of the colonial eastern amrica province?

How many cities does the 'thirteen colonies' actually have? It needs to have at least 10 fully colonized provinces before you can enact the decision.

I don't think that the AI has any preferences which country they form if they can form multiple ones. Maybe they form Florida, because it comes first if you sort the internal name of the decisions alphabetically(or their filenames). If you want the AI to form the USA, you have to make sure that they don't fulfill the requirements to form Florida[eu4.paradoxwikis.com](and maybe not Vermont[eu4.paradoxwikis.com] either if it is not alphabetically). If the AI forms the USA, you can select them when loading a non-ironman save game and play as them even without the Conquest of Paradise DLC(because they don't count as a colonial nation anymore at that point).

If you want to form the USA yourself, you would have to do that. But if you already formed Great Britain, you won't be able to form the USA anymore, because Great Britain is an end-game-tag(end-game-tags can be disables in the options[eu4.paradoxwikis.com]). And if you already have a colonial nation in Eastern America you would have to grant them independence and conquer (some of) their provinces again, because otherwise you won't own a fully colonized province in Eastern America to which you can move your capital. To move your capital to a colonial region your previous capital must be the only stated province on its continent and it must not border any of your other provinces. The easiest way to achieve that is usually to move it to an island on a third continent first(e.g. Cape Verde, Sao Tome, St. Helena or Falklands), but the island must be the only province which you own in its state. But you can also give up the provinces around your capital to another country, because you will lose them anyway when you form the USA
